Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX5 review

The 10.1-megapixel Lumix DMC-LX5 is a compact and feature-packed camera that would make a good choice as a back-up for a digital SLR. The lack of a flash adjustment is a strange omission in a camera of this type, but it's worth a look if you need plenty of power in your pocket 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
