Olympus SP-570 UZ review

The Olympus SP-570 UZ is an extremely promising superzoom, with the widest optical zoom range of any compact camera at 20x, plus built-in image stabilisation, a 1cm macro mode, full manual controls and the ability to shoot at an incredible ISO 6,400 -- and it's got a very tempting price tag too Read more

Sigma DP1 review

The DP1 is the companion camera to Sigma's SD14. It uses the same unique three-layer Foveon sensor, but this time in a compact body with a fixed focal-length lens. It's designed for photographers looking for simplicity, clarity and quality rather than gimmicks, and are prepared to invest serious cash in their hobby Read more

Nikon Coolpix L20 review

The smart-looking, 10-megapixel Coolpix L20 is a budget compact camera that's easy to handle and straightforward to use. All but very beginners will find the omission of ISO adjustment options baffling, but, otherwise, it's a simple, sturdy, practical camera that takes decent pictures Read more

Sony Alpha DSLR-A380 review

Sony has revamped its old, entry-level Alpha DSLR-A350. The result is the Alpha DSLR-A380, which sports an innovative live-view mode, a smaller and more user-friendly body, and an improved and quieter 18-55mm kit lens. Most importantly, it also takes very good pictures Read more

Casio Exilim EX-Z1 review

The 10-megapixel Exilim EX-Z1 super-slim camera with 3x zoom boasts a sleek and attractive design and comes in a range of appealing colours. Its pictures won't blow your mind, but it does benefit from a widescreen LCD display, which is useful for taking reasonably high-resolution 848x480-pixel movies Read more

Fujifilm FinePix S200EXR review

The 12-megapixel FinePix S200EXR offers the features, controls and handling of a digital SLR at a much lower price, and its EXR sensor technology means it outguns its superzoom rivals. We'd like to see the clever EXR features better integrated with the rest of the camera's controls, though Read more

Nikon Coolpix S630 review

The smart-looking, 12-megapixel Coolpix S630 is a technically advanced compact camera with a 7x optical zoom. Offering decent picture quality and surprisingly good definition at low ISOs, it's also very beginner-friendly, although there's plenty of features to get to grips with if you want to Read more

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX40 review

When you start using the 12-megapixel Lumix DMC-FX40, you'll realise why it's pricey -- the build quality and design are outstanding. Picture definition could be better, but the FX40 comes pretty close to being the perfect travel camera, thanks to a very versatile 5x super-wideangle lens Read more

Olympus mju 9010 review

Olympus has provided the mju 9010 with a 10x optical zoom and an HD movie mode, but they aren't its only tricks. It also has an in-camera panorama mode, 2GB of internal storage and a set of 'Magic Filters'. It looks a pretty good deal compared to other compact superzooms at this price, too Read more
