Fujifilm FinePix X100 review

The Fujifilm FinePix X100 is a serious piece of photographic kit. Not only is it beautifully built, but it also offers excellent performance. Few concessions to beginners and a high price make it a specialist-only camera, though. 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

Fujifilm FinePix F300EXR review

This camera's great zoom range, metal build and cracking LCD screen are occasionally let down by rather dull, listless images lacking in contrast. The Fujifilm FinePix F300EXR's noisy zoom and overly sensitive mic are also considerable pitfalls. 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

Samsung EX-1 review

The Samsung's strength is its combination of features, performance and value for money. It's not the best-handling high-end compact, but it does the job. The question is: do cameras like this have a future when they're up against a new generation of big-sensor hybrids? Read more

Canon IXUS 105 review

The 12.1-megapixel IXUS 105 compact camera is fairly ordinary when it comes to its picture quality and feature set. What you're paying for is the typically classy IXUS styling, as well as robust build quality, so those who value how their camera looks should check it out 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

Kodak EasyShare M1073 IS review

The Kodak EasyShare M1073 IS is a 10.2-megapixel point-and-shoot. While we've seen some scorching-hot cameras from Kodak in recent months, the blocky M1073 doesn't quite inspire the same kind of love at first sight. It does have a good 69mm LCD, optical image stabilisation and face detection, though Read more

Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ7 review

The Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ7 superzoom combines a 12x zoom and 25mm-equivalent wide-angle lens with 720p video recording to create an excellent follow-up to the earlier TZ6 model. This 'hybrid' camera produces superb images, but does it come out on top in the sibling rivalry? 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
