Kodak EasyShare V1253 review

The Kodak EasyShare V1253 is one of the slimmer and simpler 12-megapixel compacts on the market. It has the ability to shoot 720p HD movies, and while it lacks optical image stabilisation, it has 23 scene modes that produce well-saturated colours and pleasing pictures for most snapshooters Read more

Nikon Coolpix L2 review

The 6-megapixel Nikon Coolpix L2 offers only the bare necessities for picture taking but, for its class, delivers excellent photos that require minimal effort. The Coolpix L2 squarely targets casual photographers though, and more experienced users may be frustrated by the camera's lack of controls Read more

Pentax Optio W10 review

This postman-worthy camera is specially sealed to prevent damage from the elements, completely submersible in water to a depth of 1.5m for up to 30 minutes, and impenetrable to dust particles as fine as talcum powder. Sadly, it suffers from a dim display, mediocre performance and serious image artefacting Read more

The smart-looking Olympus SP-350 is not only one of the most affordable 8-megapixel cameras on the market but also one of the smallest. Its 24 scene modes will appeal to casual photographers, while enthusiasts will appreciate a range of more sophisticated features Read more

Olympus u [mju:] Digital 800 review

With 8 megapixels, aperture- and shutter-priority exposure controls and a top-notch built-in help guide, the compact, 3x-zoom mju Digital 800 sits solidly at the top of Olympus' weather-resistant-camera lineup. It's also one of the smallest and most affordable 8-megapixel cameras on the market Read more
