'The Lumix DMC-LC50 comes stocked with a 3x optical zoom Leica DC VARIO-ELMARIT all-glass lens, refracting highly refined images to its 1/2.5-inch, 3.3 megapixel CCD sensor.'
'Not the most compact 3.2-megapixel shooter around'
'Unfortunately, the Nikon CoolPix 2500 eschews this most basic of features and leaves you with just one way of taking a picture - screwing up your eyes and staring at a very small LCD.'
'Storage bundled with the camera is not bountiful: it has a Type I Compact Flash slot, and comes with a single 16MB card,'
'color and unusual shape are certain to attract attention, but under the metal skin is a capable camera with surprising flexibility.'
'The camera is fairly easy to use one-handed (right-handed), with your index finger on the shutter button and thumb to press the wide-angle and telephoto zoom buttons.'
