Fujifilm FinePix A900 review
Reviews Red-eye reduction, electronic stabilisation and even digital zoom also get their own slots on the mode dial, forcing you to choose among those features instead of individually enabling or disabling them.

Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ5 review
Reviews Because it lacks manual and semimanual exposure capabilities, the mode dial is pretty sparse. A dial lets you switch among camera and movie modes, as well as two slots for scene modes -- these have the same choices, but allow the camera to remember...

Fujifilm FinePix E510 review
Reviews The camera's rounded and protruding right edge impedes portability but makes for a highly comfortable grip, one that leaves your thumb within easy reach of the E510's mode dial and zoom controls. Using the mode dial, one can access a full range of...

Nikon D50 review
Reviews In shutter-priority and manual mode, the dial adjusts shutter speed. The mode dial provides quick access to both manual exposure and an array of automated settings Bargain-hunting digital-SLR consumers will find a few features missing from the D70s...

Canon PowerShot S5 IS review
Reviews The S5 IS controls, including an icon-led mode dial up top and main shutter button positioned on the forward slope of the hand grip, is reminiscent of the 400D. Plus, unlike many compacts, the optical zoom isn't disabled when you turn the dial to...

Olympus Camedia C-60 Zoom review
Reviews The large mode dial on the top looks and feels like the equivalent dial on a 35mm camera. There are a few pleasant surprises, such as the My Mode settings saver, which is easily accessible from the mode dial.

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ18 review
Reviews These are probably best ignored as the primary modes on the mode dial, like sport and landscape, have handy subsets such as indoor and outdoor. The FZ18 also has a dioptre that allows you to dial the focus of the EVF to suit your eye.

Samsung S1050 review
Reviews A dial on top of the camera offers access to all of its various shooting modes. The dial feels loose, though, and we often accidentally bumped the camera out of the mode we were using while framing vertical shots.

Canon HF10 review
Reviews By moving the power button to the top and the capture-type dial to the side, Canon was able to shave quite a few millimetres off The HF10's dial for switching between photo and video capture and playback modes strikes us as retro -- and clunky

Sony Alpha DSLR-A700 review
Reviews Thanks to a deep indent on the grip beneath the ledge holding the shutter and a dial -- much like the design of the Canon EOS 40D -- the A700 also feels exceptionally comfortable and stable to hold. So if you shoot for a while using MR1, for...

Olympus IR-500 review
Reviews The slide show and 'diary' modes have their own easy-access positions on the mode dial. On the back panel, you'll find only a mode dial, a quick-review button, a menu key, a delete button and a four-way cursor control with central OK button.

Panasonic NVGS35B review
Reviews You use a tiny joystick in the centre of the mode dial to navigate menus and control playback. There are only four buttons -- Quick Start, Menu, Manual Focus and Light -- as well as the mode dial, and the record, photo-capture, power and zoom...

Olympus FE-115 review
Reviews Don't expect many options here, but the few settings you can change are accessible through the camera's mode dial, four-way-plus-OK pad, and five additional control buttons for shooting, playback, trash, menu and flash.
