Olympus FE-4000

All of the major digital camera manufacturers have wide product ranges with cameras designed and priced to suit almost every budget and aspiration, in most cases ranging from professional digital SLRs costing as much as £5,000, down to simple budget compacts selling for under £100. Buying a camera at this lower end of the market [...]

Olympus µ Tough 6010

The Olympus mju Tough range, and previously the mju SW range, is a series of digital compact cameras designed for outdoor use in extreme conditions. They are all waterproof, and recent models are also shock proof and cold resistant. Here’s my review of the Olympus Stylus Tough 6010 aka Mju Tough 6010, a compact and [...]

Olympus µ Tough 3000

The first part of substantial compact camera range refresh by Olympus begins with the µ (mju) Tough 3000 (Europe / Asia name). The Olympus Mju Tough 3000 (also known as the Stylus Tough 3000) is the newest member of Olympus’ extensive range of shockproof and waterproof digital camera range. Perfect for everyday adventures, the new [...]

Olympus µ 9010

The most striking thing about the µ-9010 is its weight – or rather its lack thereof. When we first picked up the camera, we were genuinely concerned that Olympus had sent us a display dummy, but no – it really does only weigh 170g, including battery and memory card. That’s almost 100g lighter than the [...]

Nikon Coolpix S6000

When a 5x zoom isn’t enough and a 10x zoom is too much, there are the likes of the 7x zoom Nikon Coolpix S6000. Combined with its 28mm-equivalent wide-angle starting point, you get an extra bit of flexibility in a pocketable body that does make a difference, especially when there’s just no physical way to [...]

Panasonic DMC-FX78

The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX78 (known as the FX77 here at the CP+ show in Japan) is an ultracompact decidedly marketed towards the female user base. Not only is it cute and petite, it also features the sure-to-get-laughs Makeup Retouch function. Is it worth at least checking out at your local camera store?

Olympus SZ-10

Olympus continues to produce appealing super-zoom digital cameras, with the latest entry being the SZ-10. The first “SZ” labeled camera we’ve ever seen from them, the SZ-10 is what we consider a compact super-zoom, with it’s petite frame yet powerful 18x optical zoom lens. This is a nice wide lens too, which covers a 35mm [...]

Panasonic Lumix DMC-TS3

Panasonic has unleashed the follow up to the FT2, its popular rugged compact, with the Lumix DMC-FT3 – bringing 3D to the party as well. The FT3 (TS3 in the States) isn’t your run of the mill point and shoot compact, it’s a seriously tough mo-fo, which is firmly aimed at the types of people [...]
