A lot of equipment passes through our Seattle and London offices, everything from high-end cameras to inexpensive accessories. A lot of it gets reviewed, but we can’t cover everything. In this series of short articles, DPReview staff will be highlighting their personal standout products of the year. In part 1, editor Barnaby Britton takes us through his personal favorite – the Fujifilm X100S.

We’re conducting some planned maintenance at dpreview, starting at 15:00 PST / 18:00 EST / 23:00 GMT. During this time, which we hope will be less than an hour, the site will be read-only. This will mean it is not possible to post to the forums, post comments or upload images to dpreview galleries. Please try to ensure anything you’re not mid-post or upload during this time. We will revise this story when the site is available again. Thank you for your patience.
The entire team at dpreview would like to wish all our readers Happy Holidays, Season’s Greetings, Merry Christmas or whatever you say in your part of the world. As we celebrate our 14th anniversary we’re thrilled what we’ve achieved in 2012 and are looking forward to another exciting year in 2013, with even more new features in the pipeline, even more of the high quality content that made this site what it is today, and some exciting new additions to the team. Whatever you’re doing today, enjoy yourselves and thank you for being a part of dpreview.com!
Well, hasn’t 2012 gone by quickly? We’re nearly at the end of another year, and 2012 was one of the busiest that we can remember, as camera manufacturers regained some momentum after the worst of the economic downturn and various natural disasters. This year saw a lot of innovation and movement at the top of the ranges of biggest camera manufacturers, making it a fantastic year for photo enthusiasts and reviewers alike (even if we are completely exhausted at this point). So at the end of an incredibly busy year we want to know which cameras stood out for you. Click through for a link to our end-of-year poll.

‘What camera should I buy?’ That’s a question we get asked a lot here at dpreview, and it’s a tough one to answer. We use a lot of cameras, from simple point-and-shoot models to professional workhorses, and everything in between. To help you make a buying decision this holiday season, we’ve put together a short article which covers five of what we think are the best zoom compact cameras on the market right now, and summarized their strengths and weaknesses.
