Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H5 review
Sony's Cyber Shot DSC-H5 sits at the top of the company's current crop of megazoom cameras. Fittingly, it has all the specs you'd expect in a camera of its class, including a large, image-stabilised 12x optical zoom lens, a 3-inch LCD screen, a 7.2-megapixel CCD sensor and a full set of manual controls Read more

Kodak EasyShare V705 review
With its fast performance and decent feature set, the Kodak EasyShare V705 is, without a doubt, a casual photographer's camera. Like the earlier model, the V570, the V705 includes a panorama shooting mode, and since the 23mm lens is so wide, you can make a 180-degree panorama with as few as three shots Read more

Leica V-Lux 1 review
A repackaged version of Panasonic's Lumix DMC-FZ50, the most attractive feature of the Leica V-Lux 1 superzoom camera is its lens: a Leica DC Vario-Elmarit 12x optical zoom. Coupled with Panasonic's optical image stabilisation, this long reach becomes even more useful. It's a lot more expensive than the Panasonic, though Read more

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T20 review
Sony's T-series is a neat range of ultracompact cameras and the T20 is no exception -- it comes in four stylish colours, has an 8-megapixel sensor, 3x optical zoom and is not priced out of reach. Images are of a decent quality, too Read more

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H3 review
This year, we saw new superzooms without electronic viewfinders, and the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H3 is one of this new breed. This 8-megapixel compact packs in the manual features, plus a long zoom lens in a camera that's smaller -- if not lighter -- than most superzooms Read more

Pentax Optio Z10 review
It's not easy for a camera company to make a small, good-looking camera that takes nice pictures. With its sliding lens cover design, the Pentax Optio Z10 favours a long 7x optical zoom lens and nice image quality -- all excellent qualities for a pocketable compact camera Read more

Canon Digital IXUS 960 IS review
The Canon Digital IXUS 960 IS pushes the boat out with its 12.1-megapixel CCD sensor. Along with a titanium body and 3.7x optical zoom lens, you'll find this rugged compact is actually quite comfortable and has plenty of features and a high ISO setting. Set sail with this IXUS Read more

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ8 review
Surprisingly compact, but still big enough to shoot comfortably with two hands, the FZ8 offers 7-megapixel resolution, optical image stabilisation, raw capture and a stonking 12x optical zoom -- and its ease of use makes it great for beginners Read more
