Pentax X90 review

The Pentax X90 is an easy-to-use superzoom that offers decent picture quality and plenty of features. It's good value for money too, although it does feel rather plasticky. Read more

Sigma DP1 review

The DP1 is the companion camera to Sigma's SD14. It uses the same unique three-layer Foveon sensor, but this time in a compact body with a fixed focal-length lens. It's designed for photographers looking for simplicity, clarity and quality rather than gimmicks, and are prepared to invest serious cash in their hobby Read more

Canon PowerShot A640 review

With lots of manual settings and a reasonably low price tag, Canon's PowerShot A640 looks appealing. Though it lacks the flexibility of higher-end cameras and the stylish portability of more compact shooters, the 10-megapixel A640 is a smart, fully featured camera with some surprising benefits -- like a fold-out LCD Read more

Canon Digital IXUS 60 review

Canon has put substance before style with the simple yet functional Digital IXUS 60, a 6-megapixel point-and-shoot camera that's light on features but heavy on image quality, performance and usability Read more

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ8 review

Surprisingly compact, but still big enough to shoot comfortably with two hands, the FZ8 offers 7-megapixel resolution, optical image stabilisation, raw capture and a stonking 12x optical zoom -- and its ease of use makes it great for beginners Read more

Canon PowerShot SX20 IS review

The 12.1-megapixel PowerShot SX20 IS with 20x zoom is a solid superzoom for the money. Its performance is generally slower than its predecessor's but its images are good, although they could be sharper, and its 720p movie capability is a welcome addition to the package Read more

Ricoh Caplio GX100 review

Ricoh has rarely jumped on digital photography's bandwagons and the Caplio GX100 is another oddity, combining compact looks and a 10-megapixel resolution with full manual controls, a remarkable wide-angle zoom and a removable electronic viewfinder Read more

Nikon Coolpix P80 review

It's neither a bird nor a plane -- it's a superzoom. More specifically, it's the Nikon Coolpix P80 with an 18x zoom lens. It ranks as one of the better superzooms among the handful in its class and its strong points include its excellent handling of colour saturation Read more
