Fujifilm FinePix S200EXR review

Thu, 19 Nov 2009 12:55:02 +0000

The 12-megapixel FinePix S200EXR offers the features, controls and handling of a digital SLR at a much lower price, and its EXR sensor technology means it outguns its superzoom rivals. We'd like to see the clever EXR features better integrated with the rest of the camera's controls, though

Olympus E-P2: How's the view? Electronic, expensive

Thu, 05 Nov 2009 06:00:00 +0000

Olympus has announced the E-P2, the second retro-styled Micro Four Thirds camera in the Pen range

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ38 review

Thu, 01 Oct 2009 13:17:02 +0000

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

August's Editors' Choice awards are rather late, we admit. We can only apologise profusely and hope the outstanding quality of this month's winners will placate you

Canon Digital IXUS 120 IS review

Fri, 18 Sep 2009 13:57:01 +0000

The 12-megapixel Digital IXUS 120 IS is difficult to resist, thanks to its combination of a tiny, attractive body, simple operation, and generally very good photos. Occasionally, its images can suffer from purple fringing, and it can also be sluggish, but this is one of the better ultra-compacts on the market

Panasonic Lumix DMC-GF1: Putting the Micro in Micro Four Thirds

Wed, 02 Sep 2009 11:02:01 +0000

Looky here, it's a Micro Four Thirds camera that doesn't just look like a dSLR built for midgets. Panasonic's Lumix Lumix DMC-GF1 instead looks like a fat compact, but with dSLR features. We're excited

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

Pentax X70 review

Thu, 27 Aug 2009 12:21:02 +0000

Pentax's 12-megapixel X70 is a strong first attempt at a superzoom camera. It's not the fastest performer, but its build quality is solid, the 24x optical zoom is flexible and fun, and its photos are good compared to those of rivals. It also offers plenty of shooting options, while being easy to use

Olympus E-450 review

Thu, 20 Aug 2009 11:24:02 +0000

The 10-megapixel E-450 makes a number of subtle but welcome improvements over its predecessor, the E-420, and, as a result, is a worthwhile entry-level digital SLR. Offering good picture quality, comfortable handling and diminutive dimensions, it's a strong contender if you're looking to step up from a compact
