Panasonic Lumix DMC-FT20 review
Waterproof, drop-proof and freeze-proof, this £160 model from Panasonic is the Rambo of cameras. Read more

Samsung ST90 review
The cheap but not entirely cheerful Samsung ST90 suffers from below-average image quality and an ungainly menu system. There are plenty of superior cameras available for a similar price. Read more

Pentax Optio M900 review
If you only have £100 or less to spend on a friendly beginner camera, the Pentax Optio M900 offers a fair return for a modest investment. But an outlay of just £50 more will get you a better camera in Nikon's similar S5100 -- and better pictures, too. Read more

Kodak EasyShare M580 review
The 14-megapixel EasyShare M580 delivers much better pictures than its plasticky exterior and outdated interface might suggest. In fact, its images have a bright, seaside-postcard vividness that's quite refreshing -- and its 8x zoom isn't bad either Read more

Samsung PL80 review
The 12.2-megapixel PL80 compact camera offers a good design and specs for the money, including a 5x wide-angle zoom. Its picture quality is fairly mediocre, but it's a simple snapper to operate. Undemanding users who don't want to spend too much should consider it Read more

Canon PowerShot A3100 IS review
The 12.1-megapixel PowerShot A3100 IS with 4x zoom makes a good first impression. Its pictures and feature set won't induce violent spasms of excitement, but its smart metal body, satisfying dimensions and straightforward controls are points in its favour Read more

Casio Exilim EX-Z90 review
Casio's stuffed plenty of features into the 12.1-megapixel Exilim EX-Z90 compact camera, including a 3x zoom and an intelligent autofocus system that can work out what to focus on and how to adjust the exposure to match. The body's very neat and attractive, and it's fairly inexpensive too Read more

Olympus mju 7000 review
The 12-megapixel mju 7000 isn't going to make anyone wet their pants with excitement, but it's a capable snapper nonetheless. With a 7x zoom range, it offers serious telephoto capability in a compact body that can slip into your shirt pocket, and its pictures are good too Read more

Casio Exilim EX-Z1 review
The 10-megapixel Exilim EX-Z1 super-slim camera with 3x zoom boasts a sleek and attractive design and comes in a range of appealing colours. Its pictures won't blow your mind, but it does benefit from a widescreen LCD display, which is useful for taking reasonably high-resolution 848x480-pixel movies 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
