| Review summary | Though it stands out as one of the least expensive digital cameras to sport optical image stabilisation, the LS80's performance and pictures simply don't hold up against competing budget cameras Read full review |
Panasonic does it again with the cracking Lumix DMC-FX500, a point-and-shoot with a great lens, large and responsive touchscreen and a list of features as long as your arm Read full review |
The Samsung NV24HD's engagingly quirky smart touch interface has always been a favourite of ours in the often identikit world of point-and-shoots, but the clever manual exposure control puts this camera firmly in our good books. Excellent image quality and a feature set that ticks all the boxes make this an excellent -- if somewhat understated -- investment Read full review |
What a great little camera -- you get an excellent zoom range, good image quality and innovative focusing, exposure and ISO technologies that really do make a difference to your shots. It might be a snapshot camera rather than a serious photographic tool, but it's much smarter than the average point-and-clicker Read full review |
