Olympus FE-240 review

The attractive, compact Olympus FE-240 makes life a lot simpler by automating almost all of its settings. Its images are actually reasonably good, with accurate colours and very little lens distortion, but it is exceedingly slow Read more

Olympus u [mju:] 760 review

The Olympus mju 760 is a good compact camera -- it's light and pocketable with logical, simple features and it comes in a choice of four colours. Its images aren't perfect but it's ideal for carrying with you wherever you go Read more

Canon PowerShot A460 review

This basic 5-megapixel camera comes in at the very low end of Canon's PowerShot A series of digital cameras, but still offers a 4x optical zoom. It's very inexpensive but image quality isn't terrific Read more

Canon PowerShot A550 review

With quick performance and decent photos, the Canon PowerShot A550 is a solid budget camera. It doesn't have many special features, but it's a strong choice if you don't want to spend a lot for your snapshots Read more

Kodak EasyShare C743 review

The Kodak EasyShare C743 is an affordable point-and-shoot camera that doesn't stand out in its class. Its feature set delivers the basics and it does benefit from an optical viewfinder, however the image quality leaves a lot to be desired, with shots looking fuzzy and fine details appearing smudged and blurred Read more

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-N2 review

Sony's Cyber-shot DSC-N2 isn't especially stylish, but its big, 76mm touchscreen and its 10-megapixel sensor make it an attractive little compact as well as a worthy upgrade to the N1. The touchscreen-driven control scheme, however, results in a menu system that's awkward to use and a display that's not quite crisp or colourful enough to frame shots Read more

Olympus u [mju:] 1000 review

The sleek but sturdy Olympus mju 1000 offers high-resolution images, a water-resistant metal body and a 64mm screen. This compact has some nice features and picture quality can be good, but noise issues and slow performance could mean poorer photos in low light Read more

Fujifilm FinePix A600 review

The compact 6-megapixel A600 delivers decent photos for around £100. Some will like this archetypal budget snapshot camera -- a point-and-shoot with a simple feature set -- but others could be put off by the bulky design and limited control Read more

Olympus FE-200 review

The 6-megapixel Olympus FE-200 boasts the nicest lens in its series, with a wide 28mm-to-140mm zoom. A digital image stabilisation mode helps reduce shaking when zooming in but the wait of 7.3 seconds between shots may frustrate some users Read more

Olympus FE-180 review

Olympus's 6-megapixel FE-180 is a rare example of a camera with a well-built automatic system -- there are hardly any manual controls, but it still takes a decent image. Basically, the camera runs almost completely on autopilot. It's just the thing for a casual photographer on a budget Read more
