Fujifilm FinePix S6000fd review
Fujifilm's 6-megapixel S6000fd offers a 10x optical zoom lens, a dedicated processing chip to enable face detection and a wider angle than most superzooms on the market. While the camera lacks optical or mechanical image stabilisation, it yields good results, accurate colours and tonnes of fine detail Read more

Fujifilm FinePix F80EXR review
The 12-megapixel FinePix F80EXR is a versatile, 10x compact superzoom that offers good value for money. Fujifilm's EXR sensor technology no longer looks as fascinating as it once did, but the camera offers a good 720p movie mode and decent photo quality Read more

Canon IXUS 1000 HS review
The Canon IXUS 1000 HS is another competent entry in the long-zooming compact-camera arena. There's little that lifts the 1000 above its ever-swelling pack of rivals, however. Read more

Kodak EasyShare Z1012 IS review
When compared to nimble, budget dSLRs, it's easy to sneer at superzooms. With its powerful, stabilised lens, decent 720p movies, the Kodak EasyShare Z1012 IS is a viable, cost-effective alternative to a dSLR. Its 12x zoom and excellent stabilisation definitely make it tempting 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
