Canon PowerShot SX110 IS review

What the relatively compact, 9-megapixel PowerShot SX110 IS megazoom camera sacrifices in speed is more than made up for by its arguably best-in-class picture quality. It's also reasonably priced, and offers enough features to appeal to both inexperienced and seasoned users Read more

Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZX3 review

The 14.1-megapixel Lumix DMC-ZX3 is a great little camera that packs an 8x super-wide-angle zoom into an impressively compact body. Panasonic's gone overboard with the 'intelligent' features, but it's capable of taking some good photos and can record 720p movies too Read more

Olympus mju 1010 review

Another off the mju production line from Olympus, the compact 10-megapixel 1010 is slim and sleek, with good picture quality and reliable focus and exposure. The CCD-shift stabilisation works well -- this is particularly important with its impressive 7x optical zoom. Face detection is effective too, particularly with full-face portraits Read more

Canon PowerShot A720 IS review

Canon is sticking to what works in its PowerShot A720 IS. Mostly similar to its older A710 IS sibling, it strikes a less hefty pose, but more importantly, this camera improves in the areas of face detection and autoexposure. With a complement of manual exposure controls, old is made new again Read more

Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ4 review

It may have the looks of a compact camera, but the 8-megapixel Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ4 has the power of a superzoom in a small package. It sports a large 10x zoom lens made by Leica, with a satisfying 28mm wide angle, and Panasonic's highly capable optical image stabilisation is a boon Read more

Canon PowerShot SX100 IS review

There's a lot of competition, but the Canon PowerShot SX100 IS certainly keeps up. It makes headway by keeping a compact size with a mighty 10x zoom lens. A full complement of manual and semimanual controls keep it in the running, and its superb photo quality pushes it towards the front of the pack Read more

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H10 review

Searching for a modestly priced superzoom? Sony has a solution in its Cyber-shot DSC-H10. Its 8 megapixels and 10x optical zoom are packaged inside a comfortable design that makes the snapper easy to hold. With above-average performance, it could be a decent choice Read more

Ricoh CX1 review

The 9-megapixel CX1 looks smart, produces good-quality images and offers plenty of features to get your teeth into. Its high-dynamic-range mode isn't perfect, but the CX1 offers excellent 4 frames per second full-resolution shooting, and its high-resolution LCD screen is great too Read more
