Olympus mju 1030SW review
Reviews A wide-angle 28mm lens is an excellent addition to a camera that will be used in extreme outdoor conditions, being much more forgiving of framing and focusing errors. It's easy and fast to use in most conditions, has a lovely wide-angle lens and...

Panasonic HDC-SD5 review
Reviews One of the advantages of flash memory is that there are no moving parts in the recording section, which means the SD5 should be resistant to impact and harsh conditions. This was generally only an issue in darker conditions, but we frustratingly...

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX10 review
Reviews For the most part, that wasn't an issue since the meter does a decent job, but in tricky shooting conditions, or if you decide that you want to try something out of the ordinary, this may prove annoying.

Nikon Coolpix S9 review
Reviews Shutter lag measured a speedy 0.7 seconds in our high-contrast test, which mimics bright shooting conditions, and 1.7 seconds in our low-contrast test, meant to mimic dim shooting conditions. The S9 lets in more light, which means you could...

JVC GR-D650 review
Reviews Battery life is decent at about 1.5 hours under typical shooting conditions. This reduces noise significantly in low-light conditions, though it also causes colour to lose saturation as well as a noticeable amount of detail.

Fujifilm FinePix F50fd review
Reviews The F50fd has one of the fastest face-detection features we've used, snapping to faces instantly and spotting profiles quickly in most conditions. The F50fd is certainly strong in darker conditions, but there was a disappointing amount of noise at...

Getac P470 review
Reviews The keyboard is spill resistant, and markings on the Qwerty and number keys are larger and brighter than normal -- presumably to promote visibility in dim lighting conditions. The Getac P470 is clearly designed for unusually harsh working...

Motion LE1600 review
Reviews If you need to take your computing outdoors, you'll likely want to add Motion's £194 View Anywhere technology, which lets you see the screen from a variety of angles and under different light conditions.

Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ4 review
Reviews The incremental backlight does make it easy to see, however, even when held up at different angles, and adjusts automatically to different lighting conditions. There's no noise to speak of below ISO 800, so with image stabilisation on, this is a...

Fujifilm FinePix F650 review
Reviews Shutter lag measured a speedy 0.7 seconds in our high-contrast test, meant to mimic bright shooting conditions and 1.4 seconds in our low-contrast test, which simulates dim shooting conditions. Extreme seems to be the camera market's mantra -- with...

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W200 review
Reviews In dim light, under harder-to-focus conditions, it takes a so-so 1.3 seconds. It tends to be inconsistent, however -- in a three-headed test setup, it would usually choose one, sometimes three, occasionally two faces, and a couple of times none...

Ricoh Caplio GX100 review
Reviews Like all EVFs, it's at its most useful in very bright conditions, although the 64mm (2.5-inch) LCD does have a handy press-and-hold power-boost function if you don't fancy splashing out on what is ultimately a luxury extra.

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ8 review
Reviews Panasonic doesn't suggest making prints larger than 100x150mm (4x6 inches) with this mode, and we agree, but it might come in handy in particularly dark shooting conditions. The FZ8's 11-point AF system tends to lock on subjects rather quickly, so...

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-S750 review
Reviews In all conditions, photos lack sharpness and detail and have noticeable fringing. Shutter lag averages at 0.7 seconds in our high-contrast test and 1 second in our low-contrast test, which mimics bright and dim shooting conditions, respectively.
