Test programme date
We change and improve our testing and scoring procedure on an annual basis, so cameras tested in different years aren't directly comparable
Resolution Mp
The measured effective resolution, in megapixels. This sometimes differs very slightly from the manufacturer's claimed figure.
Optical zoom range (mm)
When the lens is fitted to this camera, the optical zoom changes.
Weight (g) with lens
With kit lens, lens cap, strap, battery and memory card.
Live View
Live View lets you compose a shot on the LCD screen, previewing picture settings.

Image stabilisation
Image stabilisation sharpens images that might otherwise be blurry (due to hand shake). Refers to built-in image stabilisation. Lenses sometimes have image stabilisation built-in. When the kit lens has image stabilisation, it is noted.
Manual focus
Useful when the autofocus doesn't work or focusses on the wrong thing. Manual focussing is done using the ring on the lens.
Max manually selectable ISO
Setting a high ISO setting helps you to achieve good dim light pictures, without flash. Noise increases though.
Start-up time (s)
When you switch the camera on, there is usually a delay before the camera is ready to take a picture
Shot-to-shot time (single shot mode)
After taking a shot in single shot mode, there is usually a delay before the camera is ready to take the next shot. The time shown is the delay measured when no flash is used (this delay is normally longer).
