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

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

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

Canon Digital IXUS 800 IS review

The Canon Digital IXUS 800 IS is a very strong, compact digital camera that produces great pictures. Its price is slightly high compared to that of its little siblings, the IXUS 60 and IXUS 65, but its great image stabilisation and subsequent blur-free photos are worth the extra few quid Read more

Canon Digital IXUS 65 review

It may be small, but the Canon Digital IXUS 65 is fierce. This little 6-megapixel point-and-shoot manages to pack zippy performance and good photos into a package you can fit in your trouser pocket. A couple of small design issues don't stop it being a great compact camera Read more

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W50 review

The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W50 is a decent 6-megapixel ultracompact digital camera that makes up for its lack of controls with solid performance and image quality. Its compact form and easy operation make it an attractive offering for those wanting a camera they can keep on them at all times 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. It's got stiff competition, but the sub-£200 price tag should help Read more
