Canon's PowerShot SX500 IS is a compact super-zoom with a 30x optical range, 16 Megapixels, 3in screen, full manual control and 720p video. Canon describes it as the World's smallest camera with a 30x zoom and it certainly occupies a unique position in the market - after all, it zooms comfortably longer than pocket models like the best-selling Panasonic TZ30 / ZS20, yet is considerably smaller and lighter than the big guns like Canon's own SX50 HS. So does the SX500 offer an unbeatable combination of portability and reach? Find out in my Canon SX500 IS review!Archives for September 2012

Yep, you read that right, I've tested the brand spanking new Nikon D600 against the flagship D800 to see how their noise levels compare! I've compared them at their maximum resolutions and then again with the D800 down-sampled to 24 Megapixels. This first comparison is with in-camera JPEGs but as soon as the D600's NEF files are supported by ACR I'll add a RAW comparison. More tests and of course the full review will follow, but in the meantime check out my Nikon D600 noise results!Sony HX200V super-zoom review!

Sony's HX200V is a 30x super-zoom camera with 18 Megapixels, 1080p video, a 3in tilting screen and built-in GPS for tagging your images with their location. As you'd expect from Sony it's not short on gadgets either sporting two intelligent auto modes, 3D shooting, Sweep Panorama and 3D panorama in addition to a range of stacking modes designed to get good results in low light. It sounds good on paper, but how does the successor to the popular HX100V compare to rivals in practice? Find out in my Sony HX200V review!Tamron 24-70mm f2.8 VC review!

Tamron's SP 24-70mm f/2.8 Di VC USD is the first 24-70mm f2.8 zoom with built-in stabilization, and it's available for Canon, Nikon and Sony mounts. Until now, all 24-70mm f2.8 lenses for full-frame DSLRs have been bereft of stabilization, including Canon and Nikon's options, not to mention Sigma's alternative. Tamron cleverly spotted the opportunity to create something different, but is it any good? To find out we took the Nikon version and mounted it on a demanding D800. Find out how it measures-up in our Tamron 24-70mm f2.8 review!
