Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ38 review

You might think the 12.1-megapixel Lumix DMC-FZ38 superzoom would be exorbitantly expensive, given its 18x zoom, super-fast autofocus, support for raw files, and high-definition movie mode. But it's not. It's one of the best superzooms available, and one of the cheapest too Read more

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

Canon PowerShot SX10 IS review

With a new 20x optical zoom, image stabilisation, a 10-megapixel sensor and full manual control if you want it, the new Canon PowerShot SX10 IS provides a lot for your money. Its zoom gives you the equivalent of 560mm, which is some pretty serious magnification on a solid, well-made snapper Read more

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX9V hands-on

The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX9V looks set to deliver long-zooming thrills in a compact package. We just hope the image quality is good enough to justify its high price. Read more

Nikon Coolpix S9100 review

The Nikon Coolpix S9100 is a solid compact camera that's easy to use, fast and good in low light. But if you want the extra reach its 18x zoom provides, be prepared to stretch your budget -- if not your pocket -- accordingly. Read more

Canon PowerShot SX1 IS review

The 10-megapixel PowerShot SX1 IS superzoom is one of the best cameras in its class, providing similar performance to a digital SLR, plus a 20x zoom lens and HD video, which dSLRs can't provide. Some irritating design quirks are compensated for by speedy performance and good picture quality Read more

Casio Exilim EX-FH25 review

At first glance, the 10.1-megapixel Exilim EX-FH25 superzoom doesn't look particularly great. It's expensive and its 20x zoom range is nothing to get a nosebleed over. But its high-speed shooting capability really sets this camera apart from the pack, and makes it a great choice for capturing action shots from afar Read more
