Panasonic Lumix DMC-FP8 review

Mon, 30 Nov 2009 14:47:01 +0000

The 12.1-megapixel Lumix DMC-FP8 doesn't look like anything special, but it successfully tackles a problem that plagues most other ultra-compact cameras: slow performance. It's also easy to use, small and lightweight, and produces good photos. As such, it's well worth a look for people prone to pointing and shooting

Part of a new breed of camera that aims to combine the image quality and features of a digital SLR with the convenience of a compact, the 12.1-megapixel Lumix DMC-GF1 is a tantalising proposition. It costs a packet, but its photos are excellent and its build quality is really something special

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-WX1 review

Wed, 21 Oct 2009 16:17:01 +0000

Sony has packed an impressive amount of technology into the 10.2-megapixel Cyber-shot DSC-WX1, while keeping it tiny and lightweight. Capable of delivering some very good photos, it's also one of the quickest cameras we've tested in its class, making it well worth considering

You might think the 12.1-megapixel Lumix DMC-FZ38 superzoom would be exorbitantly expensive, given its 18x zoom, super-fast autofocus, support for raw files, and high-definition movie mode. But it's not. It's one of the best superzooms available, and one of the cheapest too

Canon PowerShot SX120 IS review

Rival compact superzooms may be speedier, have more features and sport sleeker designs, but the 10-megapixel PowerShot SX120 IS with 10x zoom has an ace up its sleeve: its best-in-class photos. Clean, sharp and offering plenty of detail, its photos also deliver vivid and generally excellent colours
