Advantages: X10 optical zoom, wide angle, good battery life
Disadvantages: None, maybe no view finder if you really do need one

I bought this camera as a replacement for our "family" camera we have used my wife's old 35mm Cannon for taking holiday snaps and felt it was a good time to replace it with a digital. "We" wanted a camera with a good optical zoom, "I" wanted a camera to take good panoramic shots (I have a Sony W900i and use the feature frequently). There are not many digital cameras on the market that offer a high optical zoom and wide angle, most were either only ...
...a bit too big for us. The TZ3 was smack bang in the middle it gave a good X10 zoom (if I want more I'll switch to an SLR with lenses) and though not small enough to fit in my jeans pocket it fits fine in a coat or my wife's bag. The TZ3 offers many different shoot modes these are selected via a dial on top of the camera and allow you to quickly switch between them. While I prefer to play around with the settings my other half just likes to point ... Read review

...the beautiful results from this Fujifilm gem the Finepix S5700, I knew this would fill the bill and it has. My best camera buy in 15 years I am certain.

Advantages: High mega pixel, enough functions to play, looks good and feels great.
Disadvantages: Could do with a manual focus and a mode for landscape shooting.

...range has to be the Fujifilm Finepix F50fd, this camera comes along to take the place of the earlier version known to us as the F31fd. It improves upon the F31fd in many ways not least with the fact that Fuji has doubled the mega pixel from 6 to 12. Along with the bigger mega pixel comes a slightly larger screen jumping from 2.4 to 2.7 inches. The main changes come however in the range of functions on board this super slim camera and also the far ...
...increased to 100-6400 and the F50fd also offers a CCD-shift image stabilisation system, allowing you take more natural photos in low-light conditions without having to resort to using the flash. It`s predecessor was well known for being well out in front in it`s ability to produce good images in low light and the new F50fd surpasses that. Basically anyone could use this camera, with some cameras I have reviewed in the past a general amount of knowledge ... Read review

...pictures and a carry case would be nice although I don't use one as it's small and light enough to fit in the pocket of my handbag. Not being a camera person and never really using one before I found this easy to set up and install on my PC. The menus are easy to navigate and there is a more than ample choice of shooting modes (manual, auto, portrait, landscape, party, sport, anti-blur and more) for what ever you are taking pictures of. It is also ... Read review
