Reviews

  • Leica V-Lux 1

    Leica's version of Panasonic's DMC-FZ50 has slightly better JPEG compression, slightly slower performance and a much higher price tag.

  • Fujifilm FinePix S6000fd

    The Fujifilm FinePix S6000fd is a solid superzoom that captures high-quality images with its wide, 10.7X optical zoom lens. Unfortunately, the camera lacks true image stabilisation.

  • Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ50

    If you can get past its large size, Panasonic's DMC-FZ50 is a decent choice for a superzoom.

  • Olympus SP-510 UZ

    The Olympus SP-510UZ is packed with cool features, but a not-so-wide lens, sluggish performance, and noisy images steal its fire.

  • Kodak EasyShare P712

    Kodak's EasyShare P712 offers a higher level of control than its Z-series brethren, but noise at higher ISOs persists.

  • Kodak EasyShare Z612

    The superzoom Kodak EasyShare Z612 has style and plenty of features, but its image quality leaves a bit to be desired.

  • Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H5

    Advanced amateurs who find dSLRs too bulky will like the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H5's versatility but lament the noise at higher ISOs.

  • Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H2

    The megazoom Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H2's long, image-stabilised lens should have casual photographers drooling -- as long as they stick to the lower ISO speeds.
