9-megapixel Digital Cameras

Ricoh CX2

The 9.3-megapixel CX2 compact superzoom with 10.7x zoom offers capabilities that wouldn't be out of place on a cutting-edge digital SLR, including plenty of focusing options and an excellent dynamic-range mode. It also feels very well-made and responsive

Casio Exilim EX-FC100

Particularly suited to action photography, the 9-megapixel Exilim EX-FC100 offers continuous shooting speeds that are out of this world, as well as plenty of other hi-tech tricks. It also takes good photos, which makes up for the fact that it's not the most beautiful camera in the world

Casio Exilim EX-FS10

Judged solely as a stills camera, the 9-megapixel Exilim EX-FS10 is too expensive. But it's really all about capturing movement and action, and it does that remarkably well, thanks to some truly unique and startlingly effective high-speed shooting technology

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX1

The 9-megapixel Cyber-shot DSC-HX1 superzoom offers 20x zoom and speedy, best-in-class performance. It also boasts some truly interesting features and solid video capability. Picture quality isn't the HX1's strongest point, but this camera is worth considering nonetheless

Ricoh CX1

The 9-megapixel CX1 looks smart, produces good-quality images and offers plenty of features to get your teeth into. Its high-dynamic-range mode isn't perfect, but the CX1 offers excellent 4 frames per second full-resolution shooting, and its high-resolution LCD screen is great too

Canon PowerShot SX110 IS

What the relatively compact, 9-megapixel PowerShot SX110 IS megazoom camera sacrifices in speed is more than made up for by its arguably best-in-class picture quality. It's also reasonably priced, and offers enough features to appeal to both inexperienced and seasoned users

Casio Exilim EX-Z19

The Casio Exilim EX-Z19 is head-and-shoulders above most of the cameras in the sub-£100 bargain basement, thanks to excellent build quality, a wealth of tweakable shooting options and decent images. It may be short on specs, features and low-light performance, but for that price you can't go wrong

Casio Exilim Pro EX-FH20

The Casio Exilim EX-FH20 is the latest of Casio's wonder-cameras that can shoot photos and videos at incredibly fast speeds. While the FH20 isn't as fast as the record-breaking F1, it also comes at a reduced size, with an impressive superzoom and a bevy of useful everyday features

Nikon Coolpix S52c

We've often wondered why cameras don't come equipped with wireless transfer as standard, especially as Bluetooth and, increasingly, Wi-Fi are ubiquitous in mobile phones. The Nikon Coolpix S52c bucks this trend -- it's a 9-megapixel snapper that allows for wireless email, upload and back-up of images

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H50

Superzooms split the dSLR and compact camps, but the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H50 sweetens the deal with a full 18x zoom lens and a handy fold-out LCD screen. There's a wealth of features in the sturdy body, all of which can be tweaked. Images look great and features kept us entertained

Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ5

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
