Reviews

Olympus SP-590 UZ

Aside from a debatable, but useful, 26x zoom lens, there's little that's notable about the Olympus SP-590 UZ.
Panasonic Lumix DMC-FS7

If you pick up the Lumix DMC-FS7 you won't be disappointed as it's a great camera for someone who is not too fussy about having all the bells and whistles, and simply takes great pictures.
Canon IXUS 110 IS

The 110 IS sacrifices quite a lot in order to accommodate its curious styling and additional features. Images aren't as great as we'd expect, but that doesn't mean they're not any good — you'll just have to do a bit more tweaking to get the best out of this camera.
Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W290

The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W290 is a compelling package. Unless you're extraordinarily picky about your photo quality, it's a great pocket camera at a reasonable price with a solid combination of features, usability and design.
Canon PowerShot SX200 IS

More than just a point-and-shoot pocket superzoom, the Canon SX200 IS improves upon its forerunner, but not by much.
Canon PowerShot A2000 IS

The Canon PowerShot A2000 IS is lean on features beyond its stabilised 6x zoom lens, but it takes great photos and is easy to use.
Nikon Coolpix P90

The P90 is a competent superzoom with an impressive burst rate, but loses out against its competitors on image quality and features.
Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ28

The FZ28 produces some very nice images for a superzoom, thanks to its superior optics. There are a few problems with noise and build quality, but for the most part this is a competent camera that can sit up there with its competitors.
