Leica M8.2 review

Fri, 28 Aug 2009 11:18:02 +0000

Casually buying the 10-megapixel M8.2 digital rangefinder is out of the question unless you're seriously loaded. It's not perfect but, in the niche that it occupies, it provides incomparable quality, both in terms of its build and finish, and its excellent pictures

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ28 review

Thu, 28 May 2009 11:31:01 +0000

Other superzooms may have deliver higher resolution and longer optical zooms, but the 10-megapixel Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ28 hold its own regardless. It's not outstanding in any one area, but a robust feature set, solid image quality and above-average performance mean it's well worth a look

JVC Everio GZ-HD40 review

Tue, 10 Mar 2009 17:12:01 +0000

The reasonably compact Everio GZ-HD40 is a dual-format high-definition camcorder, shooting in both AVCHD and MPEG-2 TS, allowing you to get the best of both worlds. The menu system is convoluted, but the HD40 offers very good video quality and plenty of manual options

Canon HG21 review

Mon, 01 Dec 2008 15:29:01 +0000

Our main issue with the HG21, Canon's high-class, high-definition camcorder, is that it may be too good for its own good. Now that should tell you something. The HG21 comes with a whopping 120GB hard drive, a vast array of high-end features and produces video that is absolutely breathtaking. If you think you can make use of it all, this one's a winner

Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ4 review

Wed, 07 May 2008 16:07:01 +0000

It may have the looks of a compact camera, but the 8-megapixel Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ4 has the power of a superzoom in a small package. It sports a large 10x zoom lens made by Leica, with a satisfying 28mm wide angle, and Panasonic's highly capable optical image stabilisation is a boon

Canon PowerShot A590 IS review

Fri, 14 Mar 2008 12:00:02 +0000

Whether you're just looking for an inexpensive, flexible camera or a secondary shooter for when you're not schlepping around your dSLR, the Canon PowerShot A590 IS is a great choice. While it's not the prettiest camera on the market, its high image quality ensures that you'll get the shots you want
