Nikon V1
Hybrid Digital Camera
Thursday, 19 January, 2012 Mirrorless interchangeable lens cameras, or ‘hybrids’, are increasingly popular because they slot neatly into a sweet spot between compacts and DSLRs, in terms of both size and performance. It’s no real surprise then that Nikon, one of the biggest players in the world of photography, is chasing some of this lucrative action with the introduction of the Nikon 1 camera system.Editor's rating:
Preview: Nikon J1
Hybrid Digital Camera
Thursday, 19 January, 2012 The J1 is the Nikon V1’s slightly smaller and simpler cousin - much the same, minus the V1's electronic viewfinder and plus a small but effective built in flash.
Sony Cyber-shot WX30
Digital compact camera
Tuesday, 17 January, 2012 Sony’s Cyber-shot DSC-WX30 stands out from the crowd not just through its tiny size, the smallest in our late-2011 travel-zoom roundup, but also the comparatively small 5X zoom range.Editor's rating:
Leica V-Lux 30
Digital compact camera
Friday, 13 January, 2012 | 4 comments We check out legendary German imaging master Leica's V-Lux 30 travel zoom, and find something just a little too familiar...Editor's rating: 
Samsung WB700
Digital compact camera
Wednesday, 11 January, 2012 Korean Manufacturer Samsung is working hard to get a foothold in the camera market, and the WB700 compact is a creditable effort: your money buys a 14.2-megapixel camera with German Schneider-Kreuznach zoom optics. The lens is reasonably bright at 24mm and f/3.2, and deserves the mega-zoom moniker with an 18X reach.Editor's rating: 
Revisited: Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ20
Digital compact camera
Monday, 9 January, 2012 | 3 comments When we first looked at the DMC-TZ20 in early 2011, image quality was disappointing. We checked back two firmware revisions later to see what, if anything, has changed.Editor's rating:
Kodak Easyshare M583
Digital compact camera
Thursday, 5 January, 2012 As the name implies, Kodak has gone down the simple route with the M583, and done a good job of it too. This nicely designed piano-black camera eschews manual modes in favour of four groups of scene selections.Editor's rating:
Fujifilm Finepix F550 EXR
Digital compact camera
Tuesday, 3 January, 2012 The stylish and robust Finepix F550EXR is aimed at serious photographers, with RAW image format support and manual exposure modes.Editor's rating:
Canon LEGRIA HF R26
Digital video camera
Friday, 30 December, 2011 What is a ‘Legria’? Canon must know, as it gave that moniker to its HF R26 HD video camera that features a 20x optical zoom and dual SD card slots as the highlights.Editor's rating:
Polaroid Z340
Digital instant camera
Thursday, 22 December, 2011 The modern-day Polaroid Z340 is liberally packed with the kind of retro charm that sets anyone old enough to remember the 80s queuing up for their sixty seconds of Polaroid-printed fame.Editor's rating:
Canon PowerShot A1200
Digital compact camera
Tuesday, 20 December, 2011 At PC World, we’ve checked out some of the top-specced digital compact cameras on the market. The PowerShot A1200 sits at the opposite end of the scale, proud in its position as Canon’s most entry-level model.Editor's rating:
Nikon Coolpix S8200
Digital compact camera
Monday, 5 December, 2011 This digital compact camera sports a square design that’s functional rather than pretty and ergonomic, and is all automatic without any manual modes.Editor's rating: 
Canon PowerShot G12
Digital compact camera
Monday, 5 December, 2011 Canon’s flagship G-series compacts have built an enviable reputation for being the backup cameras chosen by professional photographers and for good reason.Editor's rating:
Panasonic Lumix DMC-GF2
Hybrid digital camera
Monday, 5 December, 2011 Like Samsung’s NX100, the GF2 from Panasonic is a small hybrid lacking an inbuilt or electronic optical viewfinder; you have to shoot it like a compact.Editor's rating:
