Canon PowerShot SX20 IS

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

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.

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.
Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX1

As long as you don't want to make enlargements from full-sized images, the DSC-HX1 is an interesting, fully featured superzoom. Just beware of that exorbitant price.
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.
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.
Canon PowerShot SX110 IS

Though it's certainly a good, inexpensive megazoom camera, some aspects of the Canon PowerShot SX110 IS falls a bit short of its predecessor.
Olympus SP-570 Ultra Zoom

The 10-megapixel SP-570UZ boasts a 20x optical zoom lens, but poor performance diminishes its potential as an otherwise solid superzoom.
