Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ18 review

The Panasonic DMC-FZ18 is a mammoth superzoom, packing in 18x zoom lens and 8 megapixels. Despite its large dimensions, it's great fun to use, and is an uncluttered and responsive dSLR-like interface giving access to a wealth of features. It's all the fun without actually being a dSLR Read more

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX37 review

The Panasonic FX37 may just look like a normal digital camera, but its compact body is full of impressive features, most notably the 5x optical wideangle zoom lens and the Intelligent ISO system, which combine to turn out high-quality images. It's one of the smartest cameras on the market Read more

Casio Exilim Zoom EX-Z1200 review

The Casio Exilim Zoom EX-Z1200 is the first compact to boast an image resolution of 12 megapixels, and this heavyweight pixel count, a gigantic 71mm screen and a host of extra features are all housed in a package no bigger than most other compacts Read more

Casio Exilim Pro EX-FH20 review

The Casio Exilim EX-FH20 is the latest of Casio's wonder-cameras that can shoot photos and videos at incredibly fast speeds. While the FH20 isn't as fast as the record-breaking F1, it also comes at a reduced size, with an impressive superzoom and a bevy of useful everyday features Read more

Canon PowerShot SX30 IS review

Canon's attempt to trump all comers in the superzoom market with the PowerShot SX30 IS and its 35x optical zoom is largely successful, although it suffers from inherent compromises and the same plasticky build that plagues its predecessors. Read more

Ricoh GX200 review

The GX200's 69mm LCD screen packs in an amazing 460,000 pixels, twice the resolution of most -- and that's just one example of the top-end features this camera has despite its small size. Its focal length is also wider than usual, meaning it'll be good if you're into landscape and travel photography Read more

Ricoh GXR review

The modular GXR camera system is barmy, using interchangeable lens units that also house a sensor and image-processing engine. But it's also brilliant -- its components are superbly constructed, it offers dSLR levels of versatility, and its image quality is generally very good Read more

Olympus mju Tough-8000 review

If you're looking for a compact camera that can withstand extraordinary levels of abuse, you might want to check out the mju Tough-8000, particularly as it also functions perfectly well as an everyday camera. The lens could be sharper but, otherwise, you have to look pretty hard to find any flaws with this beast Read more

Samsung NX100 review

The Samsung NX100 offers the straightforward operation of a compact camera while adding a larger, dSLR-size sensor, and the ability to swap lenses. The end result is largely a success. Read more
