Panasonic FZ60 / FZ62 super-zoom review!

Camera Labs and DSLR Tips latest news and reviews        Go to the original article...

Panasonic's Lumix FZ60 / FZ62 is a super-zoom camera with 16 Megapixels and a 24x optical range. It's the simpler of two new FZ models, but while it lacks the enthusiast feature-set of the pricier FZ200, it shares the same 25-600mm zoom range at a much lower price point. So if you want the zoom without the bells and whistles, it could be for you. Find out how it compares to rival super-zooms and how its new MOS sensor performs in my Panasonic FZ60 / FZ62 review!

Camera Labs and DSLR Tips latest news and reviews        Go to the original article...

The Canon ELPH 520 HS / IXUS 500 HS is a super-slim super-zoom camera, packing 10 Megapixels and a 12x optical zoom into a surprisingly compact body. The 520 HS / 500 HS also sports 1080p video and a large 3in screen. It's this compelling array of features which places it near the top of the current ELPH / IXUS range, but is it the right point-and-shoot camera for you?

Canon ELPH 110 HS / IXUS 125 HS review!

Camera Labs and DSLR Tips latest news and reviews        Go to the original article...

Canon's ELPH 110 HS / IXUS 125 HS is a point-and-shoot camera sporting 16 Megapixels, a 3in screen and a 5x optical zoom. It's the successor to one of Canon's most popular models, boosting the resolution, extending the zoom range and increasing the screen detail. Indeed it's already becoming another best-seller, so here I've put it through its paces, comparing it against the ELPH 520 HS / IXUS 500 HS with its longer 12x zoom. See my Canon ELPH 110 / IXUS 125 review to see which will be best for you!

Nikon AF-S 24-120mm VR review – tested with D800!

Camera Labs and DSLR Tips latest news and reviews        Go to the original article...

Nikon's AF-S 24-120mm f4G is a general-purpose zoom that's corrected for full-frame bodies and compatible with the entire range of Nikon DSLRs. The 5x range goes from decent wide-angle to useful telephoto on a full-frame body, while also sporting a constant f4 aperture and Vibration Reduction. It's also a good option for DX bodies when complemented with an ultra wide zoom like the DX 10-24mm. Find out how it performs under the scrutiny of a D800 in my Nikon 24-120mm review!

Canon EOS T4i / 650D review – tested with 18-135mm STM!

Camera Labs and DSLR Tips latest news and reviews        Go to the original article...

Canon's EOS T4i / 650D is the company's latest upper entry-level DSLR, sporting 18 Megapixels and 1080p HD video and becoming the first with a fully-articulated touch-screen display. The T4i / 650D also becomes the first EOS DSLR to offer continuous autofocusing during video and live view thanks to a new hybrid AF system which combines phase-detect and contrast-based technologies. So while it looks similar to the T3i / 600D from the outside, a raft of new technologies under the hood promise much improved handling. But how well does it all comes together in practice? Find out in my Canon T4i / 650D review!
