Best long zoom compact cameras

The average compact camera packs a 3x zoom, while anything larger than 10x qualifies as a megazoom or superzoom. But there's a growing number of cameras in the 3-10x hinterland that combine compact portability with distant-shooting goodness.

SLRs for savvy shooters

SLRs for savvy shooters

Compared to high-end professional cameras and sub-AU$2,000 consumer SLRs, these midrange SLRs are neither here nor there. But for many photographers -- both pros and serious amateurs -- they occupy exactly the right middle ground.

Higher resolutions: 12-megapixel cameras

Higher resolutions: 12-megapixel cameras

Cameras might be staying small, but their photos are getting bigger than ever. While once only digital SLRs could hit such high resolutions, now even inch-thick point-and-shoot cameras can reach or surpass 12 megapixels.

Digital cameras with 12X zoom: to infinity and beyond

A large range of focal lengths to zoom through can dramatically increase your framing options, as well as simply make it possible to get recognisable people shots when you're trapped in the crowd, high in the bleacher seats, or at the back of the auditorium. See how these stabilised 12X zoomers stack up.

      Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H50

      Plentiful features with all manner of adjustable options, entertaining gimmicks and rock-solid shooting make us like this camera a lot. If you could stick an SD card slot in there, it'd be one of the best superzooms we've seen. Sadly, it loses marks for the proprietary connections.

    • Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX3

      Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX3

      It has been about two years since Panasonic's last LX-series camera, the DMC-LX2, was launched. One of the most interesting things about that model was its 16:9 aspect ratio sensor and a good range of manual controls not usually found in digital compact cameras. We spent a day with the upcoming successor to the LX2, the DMC-LX3. Here's what we found out.

    • Fujifilm FinePix S8100fd

      Fujifilm FinePix S8100fd

      We're actually struggling to think of anything bad about the 10-megapixel zooming behemoth that is the Fujifilm FinePix S8100fd. It's a versatile and reliable camera that gets looks, features, image quality and controls right.

    • Fujifilm FinePix J50

      Fujifilm FinePix J50

      The J50 is strictly for beginners who want a simple shooter to start exploring the world of photography. While the extensive modes make up for the lack of fancy features, little has been done to salvage the less-than-desired image quality.

    • Olympus E-420

      Olympus E-420

      The Olympus E-420 is a good beginner's dSLR with an extremely compact footprint that should go well with travellers. Just don't expect any fancy features for this budget model.
