This camera range dominates the bridge market, 2007-07-16
The Panasonic DMC-FZ range dominates this area. It is a great all round camera. It has a super optical zoom, that can pick out details in a distance and is compact enough but gives great pictures for any situation. I have used a camera from this range for 1.5 years now and it has been ideal for any situation I have thrown at it (ranging from rail photography to night club photography). If you want a camera, this should be seriously considered

The screen is really good and really large. Piece of advice is to keep the adaptor for the lens hood on all the time to prevent damage to the lens

Lomo Lomography Fisheye Fish Eye 2 Compact 35mm camera

• The first 35mm Fisheye compact camera in the world.
• Captures an amazing 170 degree field of vision.

A new view on life, 2008-03-16
I bought the Fish Eye 2 in preparation for a holiday in Paris, and it was definitely worth it. The pictures are brilliant and with the ability for long and multiple exposures almost anything is possible. The Fish Eye view finder is good for those planned photo's where you want to see what you're capturing but it's much more fun to just shoot everything and see what comes out. And the fact that it uses normal 35mm film is also good as it means you can treat it just like a normal film camera, which I personally think should be used more rather than digital cameras. The only downside I have is the position of the flash, this means that for close pictures of people etc there is a shadow on the right of the picture where the lens blocks the flash, most of the time this is not a problem but sometimes you just wish you could see everything. This can be overcome with a hot shoe flash but unless you're a serious photographer I'd say it's just not worth it and you can have equal fun with the original flash. Overall it is an excellent camera that can bring lots of fun to any occasion.

Another fantastic camera from Nikon., 2008-08-20
I already own an old Nikon 5200, so was looking for something to step up from towards SLRs.

I spent a lot of time searching reviews and advice on this type of camera, a major competitor was the Panasonic Lumix FZ18. However after ordering the Lumix it just didn't feel right. The only advantage I could see was that it had better reviews in most cases, which was down to it's automatic 'point and shoot' mode being much better than that of the Nikon.

However I sent it back and ordered the Nikon. The Nikon had a good, well made feel to it, (I prefer it being made from metal) and I've found its auomatic mode to be absolutely fine, though by doing some fiddling around with its modes, semi automatic and automatic modes you can acheive fantastic results. This is not a camera for those who want to point and shoot, if you're interested in photography and want to learn more about SLR type cameras then this is the camera for you. If not, I'd reccommend the Lumix.

I did not buy this camera for the 'superzoom' quality. It does not perform well in dark light at full zoom, recieving a lot of noise. However having used it for just an hour it's macro mode is fantastic. I've yet to use it for my other favourite shots; night landscape however if its anything like my old 5200 (which took awesome photos in this scenario compared to cameras like it) then I'm sure it'll be amazing.


The only thing I don't like about this camera is the lens cap; its just a push on one, rather than the click fit type on the Lumix.

Superb Value for Money, 2008-07-31
This little camera is fantastic value.

The optical zoom is easy to use and extremely good. In general it is a very simple to get to grips with and take great shots. My needs were simple I wanted a camera that I could take good quality pictures yet I could not justify spending a fortune on a true SLR camera. This little fuji ticks all the boxes.

You can use it in automatic mode or of course in manual as well as stages in between. It is less bulky than the SLR camera. I thought that I could always get a snap using my phone camera but wanted something that I could take out specifically to take quality shots. What I can say it is the best camera I have owned, even comparing it to my Nikon F50 35mm which I adore. The S5700 is worth every penny.

In general you do not need to spend a fortune on the SD card I bought a 1GB and download all my images after each excursion. I have never come close to filling the memory and I use it on its maximum setting for detail. I seem to singing this little fuji's praises. Well it is good.

In terms of the software it comes with it is OK but I tend not to use. I merely mention this and it does not detract from the camera or its usage in the field or in your home studio e.g. your PC.

Lomo Lomography Clear Action Sampler KIT 135 mm Camera

Junktastic!, 2008-07-27
The lomography action sampler is a poorly made, highly marked up, piece of plastic junk. I've given other lomo products a lot of leeway given that we're not going for super-pure photographic imagery here, but this item is simply very poorly made and in my case, didn't even last the first roll of film.

The low-tech four shutter triggering system seems to be driven by a spring which resets when you wind the film on, which would be fine, if the entire mechanism had any type of quality control whatsoever. In my case, one or possibly two of the shutters get triggered then it whines to a pretty lame sounding halt... After then winding the film on, it will most likely try and trigger again, wasting another frame of film.

The photos on lomography's website for this product look great, but I wonder how many rolls of film you are expected to waste (and remember, you have to buy the film and also pay to develop it), before you get even 1 decent shot.

Utter junk, avoid!
