Sony 70-200mm f/2.8 G

Reviews

  • Sony Cyber-shot DSC-TX1

    Sony's DSC-TX1 is an exciting step forward for compact cameras, pushing for better image quality rather than more megapixels — and it pulls it off in style.

  • Panasonic Lumix DMC-GH1

    The Lumix DMC-GH1 proves that there's fight and fury in the Micro Four Thirds format, with brilliant HD video quality and great still images.

  • Olympus Mju 7020

    We're a bit ambivalent about the Olympus Mju 7020. It's got a wide-angle lens and a relatively long zoom at 7x, but misses out on good picture quality and class-leading features like HD movie recording.

  • Ricoh CX2

    The CX2 is an attractive proposition on the outside: a CMOS sensor, 10x optical zoom and wide-angle lens, but inside there's a host of noise issues.

  • Canon IXUS 120 IS

    This is a great little compact camera equipped with pretty much everything you could ask for, like HD video and a stylish body, so we've awarded it our Editors' Choice award.

  • Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX65

    It's a good camera that can take some beautiful pictures, but for the price and the lack of extra features, the FX65 doesn't live up to our expectations of value — and its video quality is terrible.

  • Samsung WB500

    The WB500 is a good camera that delivers quality shots, but unfortunately its lacklustre performance won't go down well with seasoned photographers.

  • Canon IXUS 200 IS

    Pairing a pretty touchscreen interface with a competent camera is always a good move, but we're a bit stuck as to what the 200 IS actually is: a touchscreen or a conventional compact.
