Canon MVX20i review

Reviews Compared with its sibling the MVX250i, it has smaller 14x optical zoom range (the MVX250i has an 18x optical zoom range) and lacks a light for filming in low light conditions. I filmed in many different lighting situations, but the MVX20i does best...

PURE Digital Oasis review

Reviews The Oasis is relatively impervious to wet or paint-covered fingers as well as fairly severe weather conditions. Builders or anyone who works outdoors in extreme weather conditions should enjoy it -- the radio is tested to IP64 standards for water...

Olympus u [mju:] 770 SW review

Reviews To make up for that, the company includes auto and program modes, as well as 24 preset scene modes, so you can let the camera decide what to do based on the shooting conditions. By its tough nature alone, this Olympus makes an ideal choice if you...

Sony DCR-PC55 review

Reviews Unfortunately, it compromises on video quality, which runs from mediocre under optimal conditions to poor in low light. PerformanceThe DCR-PC55's automatic modes perform well in most shooting conditions.

Philips SPC-900NC webcam review

Reviews What this £34 Philips cam has going for it is the ability to capture smooth video at up to 60 frames per second, the best face-tracking feature we've tested and useful lighting presets and adjustments that result in a well-balanced picture under a...

Cameras with image stabilisation

Reviews Camera shake is most likely to be a problem when you're taking photos in low light conditions. The Fujifilm Finepix F40fd is designed to be free of noise at higher ISOs, allowing you to snap away in darker conditions without compromising on detail...

Olympus C-770 Ultra Zoom review

Reviews Its chief shortcomings are its lack of a raw photo mode and its nonassisted autofocus, which dawdles under low-contrast lighting conditions. While the shutter lag of 0.9 second under contrasting lighting conditions caused us to miss a few critical...

JVC Everio GZ-MG20 review

Reviews The LCD display on the MG20 is crisp and sharp in almost all lighting conditions. This makes for a more affordable device, but does compromise image quality, especially in difficult lighting conditions.

Nikon Coolpix L2 review

Reviews Although the camera's 51mm (2-inch) LCD seems small in comparison with other models' 64mm (2.5-inch) screens, it's bright and viewable in almost all conditions -- an important characteristic since the Coolpix L2 lacks an optical viewfinder.

Pentax Optio A30 review

Reviews The A30 also has a focus assist lamp, useful for ensuring the autofocus has enough light to find subjects in darker conditions. Higher light sensitivity, or ISO, settings are intended to allow cameras to operate in lower light conditions.

Canon Digital IXUS 85 IS review

Reviews Canon is the only maker to routinely still put optical viewfinders on its cameras and this one is a beaut: small but perfectly sharp and a real benefit if you're shooting in very dark conditions or a burst of continuous shots -- when screens are...

Panasonic Lumix DMC-LZ2B review

Reviews But its lack of manual controls will disappoint photo enthusiasts and even snapshot takers may wish there were an optical viewfinder in extra bright or dim lighting conditions. The result should be sharper shots under a broader range of lighting...

Sony Handycam DCR-TRV480 review

Reviews It has a very solid feel, and its thick silver-and-grey plastic case should stand up well to typical shooting conditions. The LCD presents a sharp image and is viewable in a wide variety of lighting conditions.

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
