Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ35

The FZ35 should be at the top of any potential superzoom buyer's list, with a fully featured specification sheet and good image quality.

Reviews

Olympus Mju Tough 6010

The 6010 does exactly what it says on the tin and takes photos in extreme circumstances. It's unfortunate that they're not the best photos they could be.
Olympus E-P1

Though it's rather expensive, we can't help adoring the E-P1. The pictures it takes with the included lenses are mostly great, just don't expect compact-like features such as a viewfinder and flash to be included.
Pentax K-m

We like the K-m and the image quality it offers, but having to fumble over the inconsistent metering and white balance can be an issue for users not familiar with manual exposure controls.
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.
Olympus Mju Tough 8000

While the Tough 8000 may be the most rugged camera on the market, it doesn't mean it's the best in terms of image quality and performance.
Olympus E-30

Though it has been surpassed by its competitors in video and image capturing capabilities, the E-30 presents a fun alternative to a run-of-the-mill dSLR.
Panasonic Lumix DMC-G1

For the world's first camera based on the micro four thirds format, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-G1 is incredibly refined, though not perfect. Still, its size, image quality and design will undoubtedly sway many a first-time SLR buyer.
God of War: Chains of Olympus

Although it feels a bit like God of War: Lite, Chains of Olympus delivers a great, combat-heavy adventure with excellent production values.

Olympus E-P1 design was unintentional: Interview

The recently announced Olympus E-P1 caused quite a stir in the imaging industry partially because it uses the new micro four thirds technology, but primarily due to its retro aesthetics. We find out more about this unique design.
