Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ6 review
The 10.1-megapixel Lumix DMC-TZ6, with a super-wideangle 12x zoom, is a really rather special compact camera. Other cameras may be smaller, cheaper or offer more manual control, but excellent picture quality, a superb build and finish, and fantastic versatility mean the TZ6 is difficult to beat Read more

Canon PowerShot SX220 HS review
It would be a mistake to dismiss the Canon PowerShot SX220 HS compact superzoom as an incremental update to the SX210 IS. It's powerful, flexible, straightforward and fun to use. Read more

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ7 review
Compared to digital SLRs and some other superzoom cameras, the small, lightweight 6-megapixel Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ7 feels almost like a toy. But with its 12x optically stabilised lens, manual controls, extended selection of scene modes and VGA movie capture, it's clear that its capabilities far outstrip its size and weight Read more

Canon PowerShot SX210 IS review
The PowerShot SX210 IS isn't exactly strong on innovation, but it packs an impressive set of specs, including a class-leading 14x zoom and 14.1-megapixel resolution. As with most compact cameras, you won't get top-notch picture quality, but this camera does put plenty of power in your pocket Read more

Fujifilm FinePix F300EXR review
This camera's great zoom range, metal build and cracking LCD screen are occasionally let down by rather dull, listless images lacking in contrast. The Fujifilm FinePix F300EXR's noisy zoom and overly sensitive mic are also considerable pitfalls. Read more

Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ10 review
The 12.1-megapixel Lumix DMC-TZ10 is probably the world's best superzoom, improving on its excellent predecessors by adding GPS and manual exposure modes. Panasonic's array of 'intelligent' image-processing technologies is tiresome, but this is a seriously impressive photographic tool Read more

Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ8 review
Panasonic has two superzooms: the movie-oriented TZ10 and this, the everyday shooting TZ8, which is much cheaper. The thing is, the TZ8 is very nearly as good as the fantastic TZ10, making very few concessions. But which is better value for money? Read more

Fujifilm FinePix S100FS review
The Fujifilm FinePix S100FS is an 11-megapixel superzoom that strikes a happy medium between dSLR and bridge cameras. It's a solid build with a wide lens and a mechanically stabilised zoom. It performs well and the controls are easy to use, while the LCD screen hinges out the back of the camera Read more

Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ7 review
The Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ7 superzoom combines a 12x zoom and 25mm-equivalent wide-angle lens with 720p video recording to create an excellent follow-up to the earlier TZ6 model. This 'hybrid' camera produces superb images, but does it come out on top in the sibling rivalry? 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
