Olympus FE-120 review

Although it lacks gor-blimey features and manual controls, the Olympus FE-120 offers budget-minded snapshot photographers decent image quality and a street price that qualifies as a genuine bargain for a 6-megapixel camera Read more

Pentax Optio S55 review

The Pentax Optio S55, an ultracompact model with a 3x optical zoom, is tailored slightly more toward the novice than the company's popular S5z. It offers a 64mm LCD and point-and-shoot simplicity Read more

Samsung Digimax i5 review

Samsung's 5-megapixel ultracompact entry, the Digimax i5, offers a competitive feature set housed in a slender body. Interesting features and a bright 64mm LCD, however, don't compensate for listless performance and mediocre image quality Read more

Olympus FE-5500 preview hands-on

An ultracompact, 5-megapixel camera with a full metal body, a 51mm LCD and a 3x zoom lens, the Olympus FE-5500 also boasts a built-in help feature that gives you onscreen guidance as to which automated mode or feature to select.

Olympus IR-300 review

The 5-megapixel IR-300 is a very compact, pocketable camera that aims to be simple and accessible. It's attractive and sensibly designed, but the smallish LCD, complicated menus, low-resolution 320x240-pixel movie mode and occasional problems with colour fidelity make it difficult to recommend Read more

With its ice-blue indicator lights and flying-saucer-shaped dock, the 5-megapixel Kodak EasyShare V550 brings some UFO style to Kodak's point-and-shoot cameras. Equipped with friendly features, a 64mm LCD and 3x optical zoom, the V550 will appeal to those who want portability and simplicity wrapped in an attractive package Read more

Samsung Digimax i5 preview hands-on

Samsung dips its toe in the ultracompact pond with this promising little digicam. It offers 5 megapixels, voice recording, a 64mm display and a 3x optical zoom that, unusually, works with the VGA movie mode Read more

Pentax Optio S5z review

The Optio S5z is a direct update of the smart little S5n, and is very similar -- except for the extra 13mm of LCD screen on the back. Other changes include a battery charger instead of the Optio S5n's docking station and a new Comment function that leaves a blank strip along the bottom of your photo Read more

Casio Exilim Card EX-S500 review

The latest in Casio's superslim line of card cameras, the 5-megapixel Exilim EX-S500 offers a 3x optical zoom and lots of features such as a burst mode, MPEG-4 video capture, and the ever-important AF illuminator. Its photo quality doesn't distinguish it, but if you're not too picky, it's definitely worth a look Read more
