Nikon Coolpix S10 review

Nikon's Coolpix S10 is a stylish superzoom camera with an iconic swivel design. It features an excellent 10x optical zoom lens and sports a 6-megapixel CCD sensor with sensor-shift image stabilisation, to help keep that long lens steady. It's an attractive offering and produces good images, but some may find it lacking in advanced controls Read more

Kodak EasyShare V610 review

With the EasyShare V610, Kodak takes its innovative dual-lens camera design to its logical conclusion by pairing a typical compact-camera zoom lens with a second 130mm-to-380mm lens for an effective 10x optical zoom range. The V610 also features a large 71mm LCD, impressive for a pocketable compact Read more

Canon PowerShot A700 review

The compact Canon PowerShot A700 offers abundant manual controls, respectable image quality and acceptable ISO 800 performance, appealing to both the enthusiast photographer or serious beginner who wants some control over exposure and focus.

Fujifilm FinePix S6500fd review

The 6-megapixel Fujifilm FinePix S6500fd isn't the longest superzoom by any means -- its 10x zoom only just qualifies it for the category. But size isn't everything, and with some excellent dSLR-like features, the S6500 is an attractive package -- especially at its current price Read more

Panasonic Lumix DMC-LZ2B review

The 5-megapixel DMC-LZ2's vibration-damping optical image stabilisation is especially useful at the telephoto end of this compact's 6x zoom. High-performance burst shooting and easy operation increase the DMC-LZ2's appeal, but its lack of manual controls will disappoint photo enthusiasts Read more

Kodak EasyShare Z7590 review

On paper, the Kodak EasyShare Z7590 looks great -- 10x optical zoom and a host of shooting modes seems very good value for £250. But mediocre image quality spoils the fun, with a wide variety of digital artefacts reducing the camera's desirability 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

Nikon Coolpix S4 review

Resurrecting the swivel lens after nearly three years, the S4 comes in a compact package, with 6-megapixel resolution, a 10x zoom lens, a 64mm LCD, and Nikon's signature ease-of-use features. But a lack of manual controls makes this a poor choice for shooting indoors Read more

Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ1 review

Panasonic's 5-megapixel Lumix DMC-TZ1 has a big 10x zoom, an ergonomically pleasing design and some cool features. It suffers somewhat from image-quality and a lack of manual controls that may well frustrate keen photographers, but casual photographers will appreciate its long lens and compact frame 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
