| The Bottom Line | Olympus' SP-550UZ has great ergonomics, but disappointingly slow performance and soft, noisy images drag it down. | Though it remains a good megazoom, thanks to continued image and lens artifacts, the Canon PowerShot S5 IS is slowly losing ground to competitors. | A decent but not great camera, the megazoom Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ18 still manages to outdo its few competitors. | One of the better 18x megazooms, nevertheless you should consider the Nikon Coolpix P80's sluggish performance before you commit to it. | A very well-executed megazoom camera, the Canon PowerShot S3 IS reminds you why dSLRs still have competition for photo enthusiasts' hearts. | Basic specs |
