Cons: Coloured fringing when zoomed-in., No RAW mode., Quite leisurely startup and shutdown speed., Rivals more compelling overall., ,
Verdict: Viewed in isolation the Fujifilm FinePix S8000fd is a good super-zoom camera. The 18x optical zoom range is extremely flexible, the stabilisation really works and the image quality at lower sensitivities is more than acceptable. As such we can award it ou

Title: Canon EOS 40D | Our Review | TechRadar UK
Pros: Huge LCD screen, Impressive continuous shooting speed, 10-megapixels
Cons: No great advances in image quality
Verdict: On the top of the camera is a mono status LCD - cheaper cameras usually display this information on the main LCD, which some users may find annoying. However, when compared with the 400D, the 40D isn't necessarily better
Summary: The chassis is robust and hardwearing

Title: Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ18
Pros: Excellent telephoto lens, Good all-round image quality
Cons: Not the fastest
Verdict: This Panasonic is as much about quality as it is raw power. Images from the 8MP chip are simply superb, making this a safe choice for anyone looking for a competent, all-in-one back-up
Summary: Digital SLRs may be making all the headlines but rumours of the death of the compact camera have been greatly exaggerated. Panasonic's latest super-zoom revitalises the category with a mighty 18x optical zoom

Title: Fujifilm FinePix S9600
Pros: 10x optical zoom lens (28-300mm equivalent), ISO 1600 maximum, 1/1.6inch low noise sensor
Cons: RAW processing, Lens speed, Auto-focus noise
Verdict: Owners of the older S9500 will be hard pressed to spot the changes to the new model, as it's housed in the same bullet-proof black chassis that will cause casual observers to mistake it for an SLR. Despite its bulk, the S9600 feels great in the hand, and
Summary: The 10x zoom lens will be a major plus for enthusiasts

Title: Olympus SP-570 UZ
Pros: Build quality; specifications; controls
Cons: Patchy image quality; sluggish response time
Verdict: You can't argue with what the Olympus SP-570 UZ can do, only how well it does it. While it looks and feels a cut above the rest, its failings are typical of superzoom compacts in general, including sluggish responses, poor high ISO performance and le
Summary: The Olympus SP-570 UZ is an extremely promising superzoom, with the widest optical zoom range of any compact camera at 20x, plus built-in image stabilisation, a 1cm macro mode, full manual controls and the ability to shoot at an incredible ISO 6,400 -- an

Title: REVIEW: Canon 450D DSLR camera - First Look
Pros: 3-inch screen, 12 megapixels, SD card, 9-point AF system, Live View
Cons: No CompactFlash, still on the large side compared to Olympus E-Series
Verdict: As a step up from the 400D there is plenty to justify, and if you're looking to upgrade from the 300D or 350D go for it
Summary: Canon has updated its entry-level digital camera for the first time in over 15 months, but has the wait been worth it? We had a chance to get an early hands-on with the new 450D (or the Digital Rebel XSi for our American readers) at the company's Spring C
