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

Kodak EasyShare V550 review

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

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

Kodak EasyShare Z740 review

The EasyShare Z740 has much to recommend it: a 10x zoom lens, manual exposure controls, 5-megapixel resolution and a versatile burst-shooting mode. Only rampant purple fringing, some noise, a lack of manual focus and a low-res EVF spoil the party 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

This update to the original sleek and sexy Olympus mju-mini Digital boasts 1 million more pixels and slightly improved performance, but it still suffers from average image quality, an anaemic electronic flash and a limited 2x zoom Read more

Panasonic Lumix DMC-LZ2B review

The 5-megapixel DMC-LZ2's vibration-damping optical image stabilisation is especially useful at the telephoto end of this compact's 6x zoom. High-performance burst shooting and easy operation increase the DMC-LZ2's appeal, but its lack of manual controls will disappoint photo enthusiasts Read more

Waterproof to a depth of 1.5m, this compact, 5-megapixel point-and-shoot camera is ideal for snorkelling, swimming and other aquatic fun. A few performance issues aside, the slim Pentax Optio WP delivers plenty of user-friendly features and perfectly acceptable snapshot image quality Read more
