Samsung EX-1 review
The Samsung's strength is its combination of features, performance and value for money. It's not the best-handling high-end compact, but it does the job. The question is: do cameras like this have a future when they're up against a new generation of big-sensor hybrids? Read more

Canon IXUS 300 HS review
The IXUS 300 HS is pricey for a compact camera, but it's a pocket-sized powerhouse. Its pictures are great, even at high ISOs, and its super-slow-motion movie mode is a real hoot. Its high-speed shooting modes are also decent. Overall, it's a very good camera Read more

Panasonic Lumix DMC-G10 review
Panasonic's new entry-level 12-megapixel Micro Four Thirds camera, the G10, is competing head-on with a whole bunch of rather good low-cost digital SLRs. Do live-view shooting and HD movie modes give it the edge over more traditional shooters? Read more

Olympus Pen E-PL1 review
In the 12.3-megapixel Pen E-PL1, Olympus has finally made a Micro Four Thirds camera for the masses. It's cheaper and more plasticky than its predecessors, the Pen E-P1 and Pen E-P2, but it's actually superior. It offers better handling, more versatility, and really excellent picture quality Read more

Samsung NX10 review
The 14.6-megapixel NX10 is an impressive alternative to Micro Four Thirds cameras from Olympus and Panasonic. It works well, takes great pictures with the 18-55mm kit lens, and offers excellent value for money. As a smaller and lighter alternative to a digital SLR, it's well worth a perusal Read more

Olympus mju Tough-3000 review
The 12-megapixel mju Tough-3000 compact camera offers a good combination of features, durability, convenience and affordability. As with most rugged cameras, you won't get exhibition-quality prints from the 3000, but adrenaline junkies should give it a perusal Read more

Nikon Coolpix L22 review
The compact, 12-megapixel Coolpix L22 with 3.6x zoom proves that budget cameras really can be good. Its lack of manual ISO control is a strange omission, but it's well made, simple to use and capable of taking some impressive photos, such as you might expect from a camera of twice the price Read more

Olympus Pen E-P2 review
The 12.3-megapixel Pen E-P2 Micro Four Thirds camera offers some worthwhile improvements over its E-P1 predecessor while retaining the same classic looks. It's more expensive than a similarly specified digital SLR, but there's no denying that the quality of its movies and photos is great Read more

Olympus mju Tough-6010 review
Ernest Shackleton would probably have been mightily taken with the shockproof, waterproof and freezeproof mju Tough-6010. Its picture quality isn't going to blow anybody's mind, but it looks smart, offers good value for money, and can withstand a fair degree of punishment Read more

Canon PowerShot S90 review
The 10-megapixel PowerShot S90 is brilliant. At last, we have a compact camera that really does have dSLR-style features, really does approach dSLR image quality and really will fit in your pocket. As well as offering a straightforward interface, it's extremely well-built and elegant to boot Read more
