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.

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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Nikon D300s

    The D300s is a fast, reliable workhorse for the semi-professional or amateur photographer, and it feels great to use and makes picture taking a real pleasure. But if you don't need HD video, you might want to try the plain old D300 instead.

  • 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.

  • Sony Alpha DSLR-A380

    While the Sony Alpha DSLR-A380 is a solid and inexpensive dSLR with a few nice features that will probably satisfy many shooters, it doesn't deliver quite enough on any front to outshine competitors.

  • Fujifilm FinePix S1500

    Even for a full-featured megazoom camera at a low price, the Fujifilm FinePix S1500 delivers average photo quality and mixed performance.

  • Nikon D3000

    As long as you don't expect too many fancy bells and whistles, you won't be disappointed with the quality and performance of the D3000.

  • Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZR1

    If you're looking for a compact zoom camera, the DMC-ZR1 is one of the best, if you can forgive some performance issues in terms of burst speed and average video quality.
