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

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

Casio Exilim EX-Z600 review

Slide this little camera out of your pocket, and people are sure to go gaga over its large and bright LCD. In typical Casio Exilim fashion, the 6-megapixel EX-Z600 is slender, stylish, highly portable and easy to use -- even for beginners. And with its budget-range price, you can spend the extra cash on more presents for yourself Read more

Samsung Digimax L60 review

The Samsung Digimax L60 is a solid point-and-shoot camera with a handful of image settings, good performance and decent image quality. Its burst mode is slower than that of most cameras of its class, but if you're not shooting sports and don't mind an occasional purple halo it's certainly a strong choice Read more

Casio Exilim EX-Z60 review

With its slim, metal body and rounded edges, the 6-megapixel Casio Exilim EX-Z60 looks more like a slightly oversized high-tech business-card case than a camera. It boasts enough style to impress a fashionista, adequate speed to please football mums, and sufficient features to keep a tweaker happy Read more

Nikon Coolpix S5 review

Nikon's Coolpix S5 is a slim, attractive 6-megapixel ultracompact camera that is a winner in design terms. Its 64mm LCD screen, satin silver finish and internally zooming 3x optical lens will be a hit with style-conscious casual photographers, and its iPod-style scrolling click wheel provides users with an easy interface Read more

Fujifilm FinePix F470 review

Just 20mm thin and very light, the F470 has a good, sunlight-friendly 64mm LCD but little else to recommend it -- its mundane features and mediocre image quality hamper its appeal, but if you don't need high ISO, it offers better value for money than other Fujifilm cameras Read more

Canon Digital IXUS 60 review

Canon has put substance before style with the simple yet functional Digital IXUS 60, a 6-megapixel point-and-shoot camera that's light on features but heavy on image quality, performance and usability Read more

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W30 review

A pocket-size shooter from Sony, the Cyber-shot DSC-W30 provides impressive photos and fast, easy operation in a simple package. A limited 3x zoom lens and a paucity of manual controls limit the DSC-W30's enthusiast appeal to those looking for a small second camera, however Read more
