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 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

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

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX100V hands-on
Having tested the HX100V, we're feeling positive about its 30x optical zoom. If the image quality is up to scratch, this could prove a great camera for those looking to take their first steps into pro-level photography. 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

Fujifilm FinePix S9500 Zoom review
Fujifilm's FinePix S9500 shows just how close digital SLR wannabes are getting to the real thing. This is one EVF-equipped camera that can compete in both the SLR and non-SLR arenas. It boasts a 10.7x optical zoom and 9 megapixels, but it can't quite compete with the real thing on image quality Read more

Samsung WB5000 review
Samsung's plunged into the superzoom pool with the 12.5-megapixel WB5000. With a 24x zoom, manual controls and the ability to shoot raw files, it's a versatile beast to be sure. It also has an excellent LCD display, and is straightforward to use, although its rendering of fine detail could be better 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

Pentax X90 review
The Pentax X90 is an easy-to-use superzoom that offers decent picture quality and plenty of features. It's good value for money too, although it does feel rather plasticky. 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
