  • Abstract:  The so-called 'Travel Zoom' category was effectively invented by Panasonic, with the Lumix DMC-TZ1. Released in 2006, the TZ1 was the first camera with a 10x optical zoom lens that could truly be called 'compact', and although Panasonic had the field to itself for a while, it wasn't long before other manufacturers started to move into the same space...

  • Abstract:  The Nikon Coolpix S9100 is a camera that seemingly achieves the impossible on several fronts. First on that list of surprises is its 18X zoom lens, which matches the optical reach of the Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS10 at the top end of the pocket-megazoom ma...

  • 25-450mm zoom lens, clear and vibrant image quality, easy to operate
  • Sometimes struggles in tough lighting conditions, lacks manual controls

  • Abstract:  The Nikon S9100 is skinnier than a wafer that's been run over by a steamroller (well, nearly) but it packs a mighty zoom range. Switch it on and an 18x optical lens protrudes Pinocchio schnoz-style out of its pocketably slim body. Impressive stuff if you'...
