Samsung MV800 hands-on

The Samsung MV800 compact camera is packed with features that will help you shoot great self-portraits, but the folding screen and phone-style software make it more than just a toy for narcissists. Read more

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FS11 review

Panasonic's compact cameras are usually solidly built and well designed, and the 14.1-megapixel Lumix DMC-FS11 is no exception. While it's not the most versatile snapper in the world -- its pictures suffer from noise in low light -- it is highly pocketable, very simple to use and pretty affordable too Read more

Pentax Optio M60 review

The Optio range has always stuck to the company's simple, accessible philosophy, and the Pentax Optio M60 is no exception. This 10-megapixel point-and-shoot compact camera is very slim and light, looks very cute and packs a few interesting features, for a very friendly price of less than £100 Read more

Samsung NV40 review

Although there were some problems with purple fringing and image noise, the Samsung NV40's user interface is so good that we'd still recommend it. This 10.5-megapixel snapper's price is so close to the £100 mark that it'd be a crime not to consider it at least Read more

Canon PowerShot G10 review

Still the Godfather of compact cameras, the Canon G10 is a worthy successor to the G9. A wideangle lens, accessible controls and a list of features as long as your arm put dSLR power in your pocket. The 14.7-megapixel snapper is chunky by anyone's standards but it packs in enough power to make it worth it Read more

Ricoh G600 review

If you live life on the edge, you need gadgets to match. The Ricoh G600 is a camera designed for extreme(ish) conditions: this 10-megapixel snapper is waterproof, dustproof and drop-proof. Though the frame is rubberised and the controls oversized, giving it a toy-like quality, the G600 produces good-quality pictures nonetheless Read more

Fujifilm FinePix J100 review

The Fujifilm FinePix J100 is very simple. We'd even call it the consummate point-and-shoot, mainly because you can't do anything else with it. Despite a few quirks, this camera has a decent 5x zoom -- but one thing is for sure: the prominence of 'baby mode' suggests this isn't a camera for the party scene Read more

Nikon Coolpix P60 review

Do you miss the days when cameras looked like cameras instead of flashy, new-fangled machines? Enter the Nikon Coolpix P60, a compact that makes retro styling cool again. A solid point-and-shoot, it strikes a balance of basic tweakability with general simplicity Read more

Fujifilm FinePix F100fd review

Even as the company's top-end snapper, the Fujifilm FinePix F100fd has much to live up to. With previous F series incarnations yielding amazing results, this 12-megapixel snapper rises to the challenge by taking a firm hand to noise and producing fresh, natural colours Read more

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX500 review

You can't go wrong with the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX500. This excellent compact features a 25mm wide-angle lens and a 5x optical zoom. Plus, it has myriad features, including the proven Mega OIS system, and you can tweak most of them, making this an excellent shooter Read more
