This Micro Four Thirds snapper aims to combine the features and image quality of a digital SLR with the convenience of a compact, and it largely succeeds. It's pricy and still far from tiny, but it takes great pictures and, as soon as you pick it up, you know you're handling something special. http://videos.cnet.co.uk/39044324.htm http://videos.cnet.co.uk/39044324.htm Mon, 02 Nov 2009 18:07:42 +0000 feedback@cnet.co.uk (CNET UK staff) Take a tour of the Fujifilm FinePix Real 3D W1 with Rich Trenholm in this video review. With two 10-megapixel sensors, the W1 is capable of shooting both 3D photos and videos, which you can view on the LCD display, as well as other media. The 3D feature needs specific conditions to work -- for example, you can't shoot in portrait mode -- but, when it does work, the results are striking. It also functions well as a standard 2D camera. http://videos.cnet.co.uk/39044322.htm http://videos.cnet.co.uk/39044322.htm Mon, 02 Nov 2009 17:32:14 +0000 feedback@cnet.co.uk (CNET UK staff) In this video review, Rich Trenholm gives a guided tour of the 10-megapixel Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ6 superzoom. Boasting a 25mm super-wideangle 12x zoom, top-notch build quality and a practically flawless lens, the TZ6 takes fantastic pictures. This first-rate compact camera may not be cheap, but it offers unparalleled practicality, versatility and quality. http://videos.cnet.co.uk/39042383.htm http://videos.cnet.co.uk/39042383.htm Tue, 05 May 2009 13:36:42 +0000 feedback@cnet.co.uk (CNET UK staff) In this video review, Rich Trenholm gets his hands on the 15-megapixel Canon Digital IXUS 980 IS. This camera offers excellent picture quality and a compact, attractive design, but the high-resolution sensor doesn't give any real benefit, and the price tag is steep. You can get equally good picture quality in lower-resolution models from Canon. http://videos.cnet.co.uk/39041478.htm http://videos.cnet.co.uk/39041478.htm Mon, 16 Feb 2009 17:28:44 +0000 feedback@cnet.co.uk (CNET UK staff) In this video, Rich Trenholm reviews the Ricoh R10 digital camera, which features cool retro styling and comes in three different colours. This 10-megapixel digital camera follows in the Ricoh tradition -- it's classy and compact, offers a great user experience and is packed with features. The R10 is so versatile and adjustable that you'll love diving in and switching things around. http://videos.cnet.co.uk/39040949.htm http://videos.cnet.co.uk/39040949.htm Thu, 11 Dec 2008 17:12:52 +0000 feedback@cnet.co.uk (CNET UK staff) Watch Rich Trenholm try out the amazing 1,000fps video on the Casio Exilim EX-FH20 in this video review. The 9-megapixel camera creates amazing slow-motion pictures, which Rich demonstrates with flair. The camera also has an impressive 20x zoom, allowing you to really have some fun. Find out about the camera's other features and its performance in general by clicking on the video above. http://videos.cnet.co.uk/39040609.htm http://videos.cnet.co.uk/39040609.htm Fri, 14 Nov 2008 17:46:22 +0000 feedback@cnet.co.uk (CNET UK staff) Rich Trenholm examines the Canon PowerShot G10 in this video review. The successor to the top-end G9 is packed with features, despite its compact size. In fact, according to Rich, it's nothing short of a dSLR, except for the size, making it an excellent option for people serious about their photography. Watch the video for more details on the PowerShot G10's features and performance, and to see its good-looking, retro styling up close. http://videos.cnet.co.uk/39040547.htm http://videos.cnet.co.uk/39040547.htm Tue, 11 Nov 2008 10:29:40 +0000 feedback@cnet.co.uk (CNET UK staff) The Nikon D90 is the first digital SLR camera with video recording, which is great, especially since it's shot in 1,280x720-pixel motion JPEG at 24fps, which gives it a cinematic, high-definition look. Watch Rich Trenholm go through the camera's features, including a dust prevention system and in-camera photo retouching. He also talks about some of its limitations and drawbacks -- though overall he's pleased with the camera. Click on the video above to hear Rich's critique. http://videos.cnet.co.uk/39040149.htm http://videos.cnet.co.uk/39040149.htm Tue, 04 Nov 2008 17:06:52 +0000 feedback@cnet.co.uk (CNET UK staff) Features on the Fujifilm FinePix S2000HD include image stabilization and face detection. ISO speeds go up to 1600 for low light shooting, or even higher at 5-megapixel resolution, but you will have some noise issues if you do venture that high. If you're in the dark, flash modes include slow sync and red-eye reduction, and if you can't decide then natural and flash mode takes two pictures, one with the flash and one without. It also shoots 1280 x 720 high definition video.

This video review focuses on how easy it is to set the manual controls (clue -- not very) and everything else you need to know about this nifty point-and-shoot. http://videos.cnet.co.uk/39039960.htm http://videos.cnet.co.uk/39039960.htm Tue, 16 Sep 2008 09:21:33 +0000
