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

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX9 review

A slim, beautifully built pocket camera boasting Panasonic's Mega OIS optical image stabilisation which allows you to capture sharp images at slow shutter speeds without a tripod or flash.
