Canon Digital IXUS 70 review

Canon's Digital IXUS 70, the upgrade from the IXUS 60, is an excellent camera for its price range. It produces quality images and has a useful feature set -- if you're a fan of the retro look you should love the design, too Read more

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX50 review

The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX50 is a good-looking little compact -- available in silver or black -- that benefits from a large, 76mm LCD and a highly legible menu system. It can keep up with its competitors when it comes to performance, too, but it's let down by severe noise in its images Read more

Olympus u [mju:] 730 review

The Olympus mju 730 is a pretty camera with some impressive design aspects -- it has a slim, rectangular metal body with several striking characteristics that set it apart from other style-minded snapshot cameras -- however slow performance and image problems let it down somewhat Read more

Casio Exilim EX-S770 review

This slim and attractive 7-megapixel point-and-shoot camera offers great control with a wider than usual LCD. Casio's Best Shot modes give users more than two dozen scene presets and while the Quick Shot mode takes some getting used to, you'll soon be taking fast, focused photos Read more

Casio Exilim EX-Z700 review

Performance and size make the ultracompact Exilim EX-Z700 great for quick snapshots. The comfortable, well-built camera powers up in just 1.2 seconds and can take a shot every 1.5 seconds thereafter. Colours and fine details are reproduced well, but some distortion was observed on the extreme left of photos during testing Read more

Casio Exilim EX-Z70 review

This ultracompact 7-megapixel digital camera from Casio powers up in just 1.2 seconds and can take a shot every 1.3 seconds. A Quick Shot mode lets you snap off shots even more rapidly by foregoing focusing, but you may suffer some loss of image quality Read more

Olympus FE-190 review

With a small frame and a smaller price tag, the Olympus FE-190 hopes to attract the fashionably frugal. This 6-megapixel digicam doesn't offer the manual controls more advanced photographers desire, but its other aspects make up for its automation, particularly its solid images Read more

Nikon Coolpix S9 review

The Coolpix S9 is a 6-megapixel digital camera that really is ultracompact -- it's just 20mm thick and weighs only 116g. That it's so much less expensive than other ultracompacts is due to a squeeze on build quality and features -- fewer pixels in the LCD, only up to ISO 400 and no image stabilisation or manual exposure controls Read more

Fujifilm FinePix Z3 Zoom review

Any camera that shares a name with a sporty BMW touring car had better be good-looking, and the Fujifilm FinePix Z3 Zoom is certainly that. It may not be top of the class for resolution, but the feature set more than makes up for it, and the performance and image quality are both good, especially when shooting in dimly lit situations Read more

Olympus FE-170 review

Like its bigger brother, the Olympus FE-180, the FE-170 has a 6-megapixel sensor, the same 38mm-to-114mm (35mm equivalent) zoom lens, and the same emphasis on simplified, automated photography. It basically runs on auto-pilot, which, although suiting some casual photographers, is likely to frustrate many users Read more
