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

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

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

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ100 review

The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ100 is a superzoom with a 24x zoom and a hefty price tag. It's not a bad camera, but there are better alternatives that cost less. Read more

Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ5 review

The Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ5 is almost irresistible. A 9-megapixel shooter with the looks of a compact, it packs a 10x zoom lens and some great shooting features and produces some very nice movies. As far as compact superzooms go, this one ranks as a top pick 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

Fujifilm FinePix S2000HD review

The Fujifilm FinePix S2000HD is at the top of the line when it comes to superzooms, packing a 10-megapixel resolution screen and a 15x optical zoom. It's available now for around £220, and handles very well, with a chunky grip but a relatively compact feel. As with most Fujifilms, the controls are a bit fiddly, however 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

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
