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.

Nikon Coolpix S220

We never thought that we'd describe a camera as cute, but we were wrong — the S220 is quite possibly the cutest little compact you can buy, with striking good looks for a relatively low asking price. It's letdown by the lens quality though, which detracts from the overall prettiness of the package.

Reviews

  • Nikon Coolpix S630

    The S630 is fine if you need a compact camera with 7x optical zoom, but for the asking price we can't love it considering its disappointing image quality.

  • Sony Handycam HDR-XR500V

    With its new back-illuminated CMOS sensor, GPS receiver and active image stabilisation, this new Handycam looks set to usurp the camcorder throne. We can't wait until we're able to do a full review.

  • Sony Handycam HDR-XR520V

    With its new back-illuminated CMOS sensor, GPS receiver and active image stabilisation, this new Handycam looks set to usurp the camcorder throne. We can't wait until we're able to do a full review.

  • Kogan Full HD 1080p Video Camcorder Camera

    Kogan's camcorder talks a big talk at a low asking price. Although it doesn't deliver to the same standards as its competitors, it does offer an interesting choice for very entry level videographers.

  • Nikon Coolpix S60

    Nikon's first touchscreen camera features an innovative user interface, but sadly its pictures don't live up to our expectations from the brand.

  • Canon EOS 50D

    The 50D is remarkably similar to the 40D in terms of performance, looks and features — but if you can spare the extra cash, it's a much nicer package.

  • Samsung VP-HMX10 Progressive HD Camcorder

    The HMX10 makes a decent entry-level HD camcorder — with an awful lot of limitations.

  • Panasonic HDC-HS9

    This year's high-def hybrid camcorder from Panasonic is of the much more useful SD card/hard-disk variety. There's 60GB of on-board storage and 1080p recording at 25fps.
