By Leonard Goh on 15/05/2008

More Panasonic reviews , RRP: AU$769.00

The good:

  • Stylish design
  • Intuitive 3-inch touchscreen
  • Manual exposure control
  • 25mm ultra-wide-angle lens
  • Improved image quality

The bad:

  • Slow start-up time
  • Oddly shaped stylus
  • Face detection didn't recognise faces with spectacles

The bottomline:

Besides the start-up time and stylus, it is hard to find fault with the FX520. Image quality has also improved and we really like the features that are incorporated with the touchscreen.

      Looking to lure existing Nikonistas, dSLR virgins and the Canon convertee, Nikon has announced the D90, the first digital SLR to feature video recording.

      Come October 1 the 50D will sit atop Canon's APS-C digital SLR tree. It gains a higher resolution 3-inch LCD, face detection and a 15.1-megapixel sensor over the 40D, which will continue to soldier on.

      Plentiful features with all manner of adjustable options, entertaining gimmicks and rock-solid shooting make us like this camera a lot. If you could stick an SD card slot in there, it'd be one of the best superzooms we've seen. Sadly, it loses marks for the proprietary connections.

      We're actually struggling to think of anything bad about the 10-megapixel zooming behemoth that is the Fujifilm FinePix S8100fd. It's a versatile and reliable camera that gets looks, features, image quality and controls right.
