Nikon Coolpix S630 review
The smart-looking, 12-megapixel Coolpix S630 is a technically advanced compact camera with a 7x optical zoom. Offering decent picture quality and surprisingly good definition at low ISOs, it's also very beginner-friendly, although there's plenty of features to get to grips with if you want to Read more

Fujifilm FinePix S5700 review
With its attractive price -- £170 for 7 megapixels, 38mm-380mm-equivalent 10x zoom lens, and a full set of manual and semi-manual controls -- the Fujifilm FinePix S5700 (aka the FinePix S700) is a compelling proposition for the cash-strapped photographer Read more

Samsung NV7 OPS review
The inexpensive Samsung NV7 OPS offers a 7-megapixel CCD with sensor-shift mechanical image stabilisation, a broad set of semi-manual controls and a 7x zoom lens. But it's the mini-tank design and innovative interface that make it stand out Read more

Nikon Coolpix S8000 review
The 14.2-megapixel Coolpix S8000 superzoom packs a 10x zoom into a compact body at a reasonable price. Its image quality isn't the best we've ever clapped eyes on, but it is straightforward to use, fast and responsive. It also offers a particularly good LCD display on the back Read more

Kodak EasyShare Z650 review
Kodak's EasyShare Z650 superzoom is the budget-conscious version of the more expensive EasyShare Z612, but it does cut corners. It manages a 10x optical zoom lens, in comparison to the 12x zoom of its older sibling, but it unfortunately lacks optical image stablilisation, a noticeable omission on a camera with a lens of this size Read more

Canon PowerShot A4000 IS review
The truly compact Canon PowerShot A4000 IS produces good colours and the price is great, but there's a little too much noise in images. Read more

Kodak EasyShare Z710 review
Kodak's 7.1-megapixel EasyShare Z710 is part of the company's High Zoom line and includes a 10x optical zoom lens, full manual exposure controls and 17 scene modes. It's also not expensive for a superzoom, but corners have been cut to achieve this -- it lacks optical image stabilisation and its performance leaves a lot to be desired Read more

Panasonic Lumix DMC-LZ3 review
The DMC-LZ3 features a 5-megapixel resolution, 6x optical zoom, optical image stabilisation and numerous ways to control image capture. It fares moderately well in bright environments, but poor performance and average photo quality lessen the allure of this attractively priced model Read more

Canon PowerShot TX1 review
Every now and again, a company will make a product just to turn some heads and make a statement -- Canon's PowerShot TX1 is just such a camera, with a 10x optical zoom lens, optical image stabilisation, and the ability to record high-definition video Read more

Panasonic Lumix DMC-LZ5 review
The modest Panasonic Lumix DMC-LZ5 tops Panasonic's midrange line of compact, 6x-zoom snapshot cameras. It incorporates a 37mm-to-222mm Leica lens, optical image stabilisation and numerous ways to control image capture, though it lacks manual exposure modes Read more
