Reviews
-
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.
-
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.
-
Kodak EasyShare Z1085 IS
The Kodak EasyShare Z1085 IS is a solid value camera with decent photo quality and a well-rounded feature set, but is let down by poor performance.
-
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.
-
Nikon Coolpix P80
One of the better 18x megazooms, nevertheless you should consider the Nikon Coolpix P80's sluggish performance before you commit to it.
-
Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H7
If you shoot primarily outdoors in daytime -- especially sports, children, and animals -- the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H7 is a good choice. The more expensive DSC-H9 has a larger, flip-out LCD, infrared shooting, and has a few interface differences, but is otherwise identical.
-
Fujifilm FinePix S8000fd
Fuji's S8000fd 18x megazoom has a nice body design and offers a commendable level of control, but its mediocre image quality and sluggish performance acts blights what could otherwise be an excellent camera.
-
Canon PowerShot SX100 IS
Though the Canon PowerShot SX100 produces excellent photos, other aspects of the camera -- some performance issues and operational annoyances, to name two -- dim its luster.
