Little cameras, big zoom

With a growing number of compact cameras in the 3x to 12x zoom range that combine portability with distant-shooting goodness, we select the cream of the crop in our round-up.

Fujifilm FinePix F70EXR

The FinePix F70EXR has a lot to offer underneath its standard exterior, like its 10x optical zoom.

Reviews

  • Sony Alpha DSLR-A900

    A good first try at a pro-level camera, the Sony Alpha DSLR-A900 has the high resolution but unfortunately lacks some of the performance and usability you expect from a model in its price range.

  • Sony Cyber-shot T Slim DSC-T77

    The Cyber-shot DSC-T77 is one of the slimmest touchscreen cameras we have ever seen. Sony has squeezed so many features into such a tiny profile, without sacrificing image quality.

  • Samsung PS50A650

    Though the Samsung PS50A650 plasma is better than the Panasonic PZ850 feature-wise, it loses out slightly in terms of picture quality.

  • Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX520

    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.

  • Canon PowerShot A470

    This AA-powered shooter arrives down under in February, and comes loaded with a 7.1-megapixel sensor, 3.4x optical zoom and face detection.

  • Canon Digital IXUS 80 IS

    Canon's Digital IXUS 80 IS adds optical image stabilisation to last year's hit IXUS 70, while delivering just as impressive image quality.

  • Canon Digital IXUS 70

    Small size, excellent image quality, and a solid, though not extensive, feature set make the IXUS 70 a great choice for a compact camera.

  • Samsung i70

    The multi-purpose, multimedia Samsung i70 is a stylish and capable point-and-shoot camera.
