Hands-on with the Samsung L210: Dial M for Manual

Crave The tiny aluminium body sports a 64mm (2.5-inch) LCD screen and a 3x optical zoom lens, with a 35mm equivalent focal length of 37mm. Not exposure compensation, not shutter or aperture priority, not an M on the mode dial that actually just lets you...

Nikon Coolpix 8800 review

Reviews If you want to focus manually, you'll need to hold down the focus button on the left side of the lens and rotate the command dial. Most important, the company relocated the stray buttons from the lens barrel to a more fully featured mode dial.

Canon PowerShot A540 review

Reviews Only a flash that's slow to recycle lessens the appeal of this camera's 4x zoom lens, 6-megapixel resolution and otherwise excellent performance. The 35mm-to-140mm (35mm-camera equivalent) zoom lens focuses to as close as 50mm using lamp-assisted...

Fujifilm FinePix S9500 Zoom review

Reviews It boasts a 28mm-to-300mm (35mm equivalent) 10.7x zoom lens, where most low-end dSLRs come with a skimpy normal zoom, and its 1/1.6-inch Fuji Super CCD HR sensor packs in 9 million pixels, compared to 6 megapixels for most budget digital SLRs.

Olympus IR-500 review

Reviews Although it's a competent enough 4-megapixel snapshot camera, with 17 scene modes -- but only a limited 2.8x 40mm-to-112mm (35mm-camera equivalent) zoom lens -- it really excels as a playback device. FeaturesThe IR-500's 2.8x zoom lens doesn't...

Nikon D50 review

Reviews DesignAlthough the bodies of the Nikon D70s and D50 tip the scales within a few dozen grams of each other, the D50's AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor 18mm-to-55mm f/3.5-to-f/5.6G ED kit lens, furnished without a lens hood, is a featherweight compared to the...

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H3 review

Reviews Dominating the front of the camera is a Carl Zeiss-branded Vario-Tessar 10x optical 38-380mm equivalent, f/3.5-4.4 zoom lens, which feeds light to an 8.1-megapixel CCD sensor. ConclusionIf you want a long zoom lens in a camera that's smaller, if...

Canon PowerShot S5 IS review

Fujifilm FinePix A900 review

Reviews Its 39mm-to-156mm-equivalent Fujinon lens also perks up the A900, giving it a 4x zoom factor compared to most budget models' 3x lenses. Red-eye reduction, electronic stabilisation and even digital zoom also get their own slots on the mode dial...
