'On the small and light side for a typical megazoom, the camera feels a little plasticky '
'The DMC-FZ35 excels in manual controls and low-light video footage, and it offers near-perfect automatic settings, unique scene modes, and a slew of imaging options'
'In a surprisingly light (0.9-pound) frame, the 12-megapixel Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ35 provides an 18x-optical-zoom Leica lens (27mm to 486mm) with good optical image stabilisation. '
'Panasonic's Lumix DMC-FZ35 is quite simply one of the best fixed-lens cameras out there for both stills and HD video. '
'The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H20 is another great camera in the company's 2009 point-and-shoot lineup. '
'the compact, high-zoom Sony H20 adds more resolution, a 720p movie mode, and an array of intelligent capabilities that were lacking in the previous model. '
'lack the elegant style typical of so many Sony compacts.
'
'The H20, already with an above-par feature set for a digital compact, is one such camera that's further enhanced by a host of intelligent shooting features. '
'Looking at the sharpness of the shots the Finepix S1800 does well for a camera with a wide angle lens, especially when the lens is zoomed out. '
'Shutter-lag is a bit disappointing at about 0.1 second when pre-focused and 0.5 seconds including focusing time.'
'Image quality not up to par with competition; Weak flash; Poor HD video results; Excessive noise above ISO 400 makes the higher options almost useless; Tiny EVF eye piece; LCD is reflective; Sporadic white balance results when using Auto setting; Lack of Aperture value control in the specified A position on the mode dial makes it difficult to control DOF (either wide open or closed down, nothing in between). '
'The Fuji S1800 will be available in February 2010 at a retail price of $229.95.'
