Zeiss Otus 85mm f1.4 review
  • Written by

The Zeiss Otus 85mm f/1.4 is a short telephoto lens that follows the much acclaimed Otus 55mm. With the first Otus, Zeiss made ambitious claims for performance that were delivered in practice, albeit at a high price and with manual focus only (see my Zeiss Otus 55/1.4 review). So expectations for the second model in…

Sony Cyber-shot H400 review

Sony’s Cyber-shot H400 is a bridge super-zoom camera with a huge 63.3x optical range. This ranks it only a fraction below the industry leader, Canon’s SX60 HS, but at a much lower price point. As such you won’t find an articulated screen, support for RAW, a big viewfinder nor video at 1080p, but the core specification remains good for the money: 20 Megapixels, a small but usable viewfinder, 3in screen, 720p movies and of course that massive zoom range. In our Sony H400 review, we compared it against Canon’s SX520 HS and Nikon’s P530 to see which will be the best budget super-zoom for you!…

Canon ELPH 340 / IXUS 265 review

Canon’s PowerShot IXUS 265, or ELPH 340 as it’s known in North America, is a 16 Megapixel point-and-shoot compact with a 12x optical zoom, 1080p video and Wifi with NFC. The 25-300mm zoom range is what sets it apart from camera phones or more basic compacts, and the built-in Wifi makes it easy to transfer and share images. All this in a stylish and affordable body make the latest IXUS / ELPH a desirable buy, but to make sure we’ve compared it against Sony’s WX350 and the Lumix SZ8. Find out which is the best budget compact for you in our Canon IXUS 265 ELPH 340 review!…

Nikon COOLPIX P530 review

Nikon’s COOLPIX P530 is a mid-range super-zoom camera with a 42x optical range – taking you from 24mm all the way to 1000mm. It has a 16 Megapixel CMOS sensor, 3in screen, electronic viewfinder, PASM shooting modes and 1080p video at a keen price. It’s up against models like Canon’s PowerShot SX520 HS and Sony’s Cyber-shot H400, so it’s those two models we’ve compared it to in our Nikon P530 review! Find out which mid-range super-zoom will be best for you!…
