Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX37 review

Reviews The FX37's unassuming exterior hides some very clever technology indeed and, not content with only that, Panasonic has added on a 5x optical zoom lens with an amazing 25mm equivalent minimum focal length.

Hands-on with Hyundai L1030T, L8427, S800: Cars to cameras

Crave The wide angles are covered by the L8427, an 8-megapixel model with a 28mm focal length, equivalent to a 35mm camera, and a 4x optical zoom. With Photokina just around the corner, there wasn't a huge amount going on camera-wise at IFA.

Samsung i8510 review

Reviews It's not all good, though -- the i8510's camera doesn't have an optical zoom, which means that zoomed-in pictures come out fairly blurry, and as we mentioned before there's no xenon flash. You wouldn't be mistaken for thinking that the Samsung...

Photos: Hands-on with dual-format JVC Everio HD30 and HD40

Crave The 10x optical zoom is responsive, if a little slow. Although there weren't that many big announcements in the camera and camcorder sphere at IFA 2008, we still grabbed the chance to catch up with recent debutantes.

Photos: Hands-on with the all-converging Samsung i100

Crave Camera-wise you get optical image stabilisation, face detection of up to nine subjects, backlight compensation and in-camera red-eye fix. Having encountered the most recent tranche of cameras from Chelsea sponsors Samsung in a garden in West London...

Photos: HD Hands-on with the Sony Cyber-shot T500

Crave It also packs a 5x optical zoom Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar lens, optical image stabilisation and face detection. If Sony keeps turning out cameras in its T series, we're happy to keep making Terminator-related jokes at every opportunity.

Crave Colour isolation calibration is also possible without the need for optical colour filters, which we're sure is a big relief to each and every one of you. The TW5000 features horizontal and vertical lens shift to get the projector and optical 2.1x...

Popcorn Hour A-110 review

Reviews This might cause some people problems, but in reality most AV receivers have both, and if yours doesn't or all your optical sockets are in use, you can get a converter for less than £10 online. The other significant change is that the digital audio...

Photos: Samsung i8510 8-megapixel camera phone

Crave There's no room for optical zoom, either. 'Anything you can do, Samsung can do better' is what we imagine Samsung's mentality is when it comes to developing its mobile phones. Take the Samsung i8510, for example -- it's very similar specs-wise to...

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T700 review

Reviews Like that camera, the T700 has a 10-megapixel, 1/2.3-inch Super HAD CCD sensor, wide 89mm touchscreen display, f3.5-f10 35-140mm-equivalent Carl Zeiss lens (though the zoom range drops from 5x to 4x), Super SteadyShot optical image stabilisation...

Kodak EasyShare M1063 review

Reviews The 3x optical zoom lens has a 35mm-equivalent focal length of 32-96mm, which is slightly above average at the wide end. The Kodak EasyShare M1063 is a 10.3-megapixel point-and-shoot camera. It's extremely similar to the M1073, so we took it for a...

Crave It sports a 3x optical zoom and another 66mm LCD. The Casio Exilim Zoom EX-Z250 is a 9.1-megapixel digital camera packed with a 4x optical zoom and 76mm (3-inch) LCD. With specs like 1,280x720-pixel high-definition video, 28mm wide angle lens and...

Crave But despite being only 15mm at the thickest point, it still packs in image stabilisation, and even more impressively, a Carl Zeiss 4x optical zoom lens. Sony is sending two new 10.1-megapixel models down the Cyber-shot camera runway, and they're a...

Samsung Q210 review

Reviews The Q210 comes with an optical drive, but not just any optical drive. Samsung may be reticent about entering the netbook market, but it's going full steam ahead with its thin-and-light laptops. The latest of these is the Samsung Q210, the successor...

Fujifilm FinePix F60fd: 0-60 in 12 megapixels

Crave The usual Fujinon 3x optical zoom lens has a focal length of 8.0-24.0mm, equivalent to 35-105 mm on a 35mm camera. Fujifilm has followed the popular F50fd with the new FinePix F60fd. It's an incremental upgrade to the popular F50fd, slotting into...
