Pentax Optio RZ18 review

Fujifilm FinePix F550EXR review
A list of features as long as your arm and an equally lengthy optical zoom all work in the Fujifilm FinePix F550EXR's favour. But this superzoom has a number of flaws that prevent it from achieving greatness. Read more

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FS37 review
The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FS37 isn't quite a superzoom, but it's larger and more expensive than many compacts, offering a useful balance of performance and versatility. It looks pretty smart while it's at it, too. Read more

Fujifilm FinePix F300EXR review
This camera's great zoom range, metal build and cracking LCD screen are occasionally let down by rather dull, listless images lacking in contrast. The Fujifilm FinePix F300EXR's noisy zoom and overly sensitive mic are also considerable pitfalls. Read more

Nikon Coolpix S9100 review
The Nikon Coolpix S9100 is a solid compact camera that's easy to use, fast and good in low light. But if you want the extra reach its 18x zoom provides, be prepared to stretch your budget -- if not your pocket -- accordingly. Read more

Canon PowerShot SX150 IS review
The Canon PowerShot SX150 IS is a true budget superzoom with smart features and great quality output that's only let down by the AA battery format. Read more
