Olympus SP-800UZ
Bored of your camera's hum-drum 3x zoom? Feel constricted by a mere 10x lens? Is 20x still not enough for you? Well, Olympus have the answer in the shape of the SP-800UZ, a brand new bridge-style compact camera that boasts a 30x zoom lens with an incredible focal range of 28-840mm. In addition, the 14 megapixel Olympus SP-800UZ also offers a 3 inch, 16:9 ratio LCD screen, 720p movie recording, 2Gb of internal storage and long-awaited support for SD memory cards. Zoltan ArvaToth gets up close and personal in the World's first Olympus SP-800UZ online review.
Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ38
The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ38 (also known as the DMC-FZ35) is a new super-zoom camera that builds on the considerable success of the FZ28 and FZ18 models. Offering a high-definition video mode with stereo sound, faster autofocus and startup, new Power O.I.S anti-shake system and longer battery life, the Panasonic FZ38 concentrates on behind-the-scenes improvements whilst retaining the intuitive handling, Intelligent Auto mode, manual shooting modes and RAW support of the FZ28. Priced at £329.99 / $399.95, we bring you the World's first ever review of the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ38.
Samsung WB5000
The WB5000 / HZ25W is Samsung's first entry into the big boy world of all-in-one super-zoom cameras. Offering a 24x zoom lens with 26mm wide-angle setting, the WB5000 literally has most photographic subjects covered, for both 12 megapixel stills and 720p movies. Throw in a range of hand-holding smart modes for beginners and RAW format and Manual mode for advanced users, and Samsung could be onto a winner at their very first attempt.
