    Summary: The march of progress never ceases, but we still find it astonishing that this 16-megapixel camera with an 18x zoom and 3in screen costs just over £100. We wondered how Pentax had brought it in at such a low price, but close inspection reveals quite a...

    Conclusion: A big, sharp 18x zoom lens at an incredible price, but only consider it if you're not interested in video or low-light photography

    Summary: In the very crowded travel zoom category, the RZ-18 does little to best the competition. Reviews point out the camera's poor image quality even at low ISOs, uncompetitive 720p HD video mode, and slow performance. The RZ-18's price has plummeted since...

    Cons : Picture quality could be better, especially from 800 ISO upwards ; Lens quality isn't consistent ; Poor-quality sound in video mode ; Tight screen viewing angles ; Very plastic body
