Sony Cyber-shot DSC-WX1

The WX1 is an excellent compact camera with a great feature set and speedy performance, but mixed photo quality makes it miss the mark.

Getting up close to your photographic subject has never been easier. We pick from the best superzoom cameras on the market today.

Canon PowerShot SX20 IS

The Canon PowerShot SX20 IS is a solid, but not standout, superzoom option for the money.
Nikon Coolpix S70

The S70 is a good stylish compact with the added bonus of an OLED touchscreen, but faces stiff competition from cheaper and equally competent cameras.
Samsung ST550

Self-portrait screen or not, this camera marks Samsung's coming of age. Aside from a few too many megapixels and battery life that's too short, it's a delight to behold and use.
Nikon Coolpix S640

The S640 boasts dSLR-like responsiveness and good pictures but is let down by its price and lack of competitive features like HD video.
Canon Legria HF20

As far as mid-range camcorders go, there's not much to fault the Canon Legria HF20 for; the image quality is good, the autofocus speedy and feature list fairly full.
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.
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.
Sony Handycam Sports pack SPK-HCE

Fitting almost every recent Handycam, the Sports pack is a must-have if you're heading to the Barrier Reef. Just don't dive any deeper than five metres.
