At ISO 400 the advantages of the Super CCD sensor used in the FinePix F10 are obvious, but what's interesting is that the gulf between the two results is nowhere near as wide as it has been with most other cameras we've tested against the F10. So, whilst conventional CCD technology may not have caught up with Fuji's Super CCD, it is certainly getting closer (of course the F10 has now been replaced by the F30, we'll be looking at that camera soon). If you look closely you can see that not only is the SD 700 IS result noisier, it has lost more fine detail to noise reduction. It's worth noting that the F10's ISO 400 output really comes into its own at much lower light levels, where the SD 700 IS will produce results that look a bit noisier than this (the studio is fairly bright). On the other hand it's also worth noting that the SD 700's sensor not only gets closer to the F10 than any other similar camera we've tried, but the camera also has an image stabilization system, which to some extent avoids the need for higher ISO settings in the first place.

It's inexpensive, lightweight and will keep going for days on a single battery charge. While it's not great for video and its wireless image transfer is slow, the D3500 is a simple and un-intimidating camera that's a great starting point for beginners.
The D780 comes as a belated update to the well-respected D750. We've been impressed by what we've seen of what's essentially a mirrored Z6.
Canon's latest flagship, the EOS-1D X Mark III is a big, fast, tough DSLR that hides an impressively refined mirrorless camera within it. We've taken a pre-production model to a basketball game, a low light concert, and even a blacksmith shop. Find out how we think it stacks up.
We've been testing the Nikon Z50 extensively and found a lot to like about it. However, the camera's biggest drawback is probably that it faces such well-established competition.
The Olympus OM-D E-M5 Mark III is the company's latest Micro Four Thirds camera; it looks great, feels great, and takes beautiful photos. There's a lot to like, but there are a few things we'd change. Find out more in our full review.
