Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX2 review

Reviews Conversely, the resolution of the LX2's 4:3 images is only 7 megapixels. Which all begs the question: what do we gain by jumping to 10 megapixels? Just as Canon decided to drop raw-format support from its compact enthusiast model, the PowerShot G7...

Hitachi DZ-GX3200E review

Reviews Though it uses 2 megapixels to capture stills, it uses only 1.2 megapixels for video. As the little sibling of Hitachi's DZ-GX3300E, the DZ-GX3200E serves up an almost identical feature set and similarly pleasing performance, including better than...

Sony Ericsson W595 Walkman review

Reviews One big upgrade is the camera, which has jumped from 2 megapixels to an impressive 3.2 megapixels. Sony Ericsson's new W595 is a slider handset with a 3.2-megapixel camera, and it replaces the popular W580i from last year.

Superzoom digital cameras

Reviews The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H9 packs a respectable 8 megapixels and a monster 15x zoom. The Fujifilm FinePix S5700 makes 7.1 megapixels and 12x zoom available for less than £150, although it doesn't include a viewfinder or optical image stabilisation.

Dell XPS M1330 review

Reviews The resolution has also been boosted from 0.3 megapixels to 2 megapixels on select models, so it can be used for legitimate self-portraits as well as Web conferencing. Dell is often derided for embodying all that is bad about faceless corporate PC...

Canon HV10 review

Reviews When capturing stills, it uses 2.76 megapixels (1,920x1,440) in 4:3 mode and 2.07 megapixels (1,920x1,080) in 16:9 mode. Canon puts high-definition video recording in your pocket, although to make room in said pocket requires removing more than...

Canon MVX30i review

Reviews FeaturesThe Canon MVX30i incorporates a 2-megapixel CCD; 1.2 megapixels are used for video (which is then downsampled to DV resolution) and 2 megapixels for still photos. Don't let the Canon MVX30i's small size fool you.

Hitachi DZ-GX3300E review

Reviews Though it uses 3 megapixels to capture stills, it uses only 2.1 megapixels for video in 4:3 mode and 1.6 megapixels for video in 16:9 mode. Hitachi's DZ-GX3300E won't blow you away with its middle-of-the-road image quality, but a quick start-up...

Logitech QuickCam Fusion review

Reviews The Fusion can take still pictures of up to 4 megapixels, though it interpolates anything larger than 1.3 megapixels. The Logitech QuickCam Fusion's sleek new design and impressive software bundle make it one of the best Webcams we've seen.

Logitech QuickCam Pro 9000 review

Reviews Keep in mind, anything above 2 megapixels comes by way of software interpolation, which degrades quality. It can record video up to a resolution of 1,600x1,200 pixels and can snap still photos up to 8 megapixels.

Leica D-Lux 3 review

Reviews If you tell the camera to crop off the sides and give you a 4:3 image, the resolution is reduced to 7 megapixels. When you take a 16:9 image, you get all of the sensor's 10 megapixels. Every year, Leica and Panasonic collaborate on a few camera...

Sony Handycam HDR-HC7 review

Reviews Though Sony emblazons '6.1 megapixels still image recording' on the HC7's lens barrel, that claim's a tad misleading -- especially when you can spot '6.1 megapixels' from over a metre away and 'still image recording' requires an up-close-and...

Olympus SP-550 UZ review

Reviews The 15fps burst can only be achieved by setting the camera's pixel resolution down to 1.2 megapixels, while the ISO 5000 (or ISO 3200 for that matter) setting caps your pixel resolution at 3.2 megapixels.
