Four Ultra-Zooms with Stabilisation Tested

Popular Photography Magazine have reviewed four ultra zoom digital cameras, all feature image stabilisation and a 12x optical zoom lens. They review the new Kodak Easyshare Z612, Panasonic Lumix FZ7, Canon Powershot S3 IS, and the Sony Cybershot DSC-H5:

"They are the latest generation of electronic viewfinder (EVF) superzooms, each one boasting a bright 12X optical zoom, lens-based image stabilization, and at least 6MP capture. If that isn't enough bang for your buck, they also all do image-stabilized video--two of them with stereo sound, no less."

Price Watch: The Kodak Easyshare P850, a 5 megapixel digital camera, with a 12x optical zoom lens with image stabilisation, and a 2.5" screen is only £199 at Amazon UK.
