'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. '
'Furthermore, having to rotate the lens ring in order to change the exposure settings means that the camera can't always be held steady — with the conventional controls, your left hand is always holding the camera steady as you change settings. '
'decent compact system camera'
'The Samsung NX100 digital camera has a 14.6-megapixel resolution and combines professional image quality with some features that make the camera really easy to use without actually being a professional. '
'Samsung's made a number of minor tweaks to the software allowing a greater degree of customisation, while the camera and two new kit lenses debut the company's new i-Function feature.'
'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.'
