Samsung EX-1 review

The Samsung's strength is its combination of features, performance and value for money. It's not the best-handling high-end compact, but it does the job. The question is: do cameras like this have a future when they're up against a new generation of big-sensor hybrids? Read more

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX70 review

The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX70 is a well-made compact camera that delivers good results within the limits of its sensor, but it's too expensive Read more

Sony NEX-3 review

The 14.2-megapixel NEX-3 is a good option for those seeking a compact camera with interchangeable lenses. It's about £100 cheaper than its big brother, the NEX-5, but there are no serious compromises, and it will probably suit novice shooters well Read more

Panasonic Lumix DMC-G2 review

The 12.1-megapixel Lumix DMC-G2 is a great Micro Four Thirds camera. It feels very well made and it shoots vivid, sharp pictures. Its heaps of complicated features can make it disorientating to use, but there's plenty to get your teeth stuck into, and the touchscreen is a welcome extra Read more

Sigma DP2s review

The DP2s is a compact camera with a big sensor, a minimum of controls and a distinct lack of bells and whistles. If you're an experienced photographer who wants a camera that does what you tell it to and takes great pictures, you should check it out Read more

Sony Alpha DSLR-A390 review

The 14.2-megapixel Alpha DSLR-A390 is a decent digital SLR, even it is essentially the same as last year's Alpha DSLR-A380. Its budget price tag is about right, its live-view mode is simple but effective, and its pictures are perfectly passable. It's worth a look if you're not feeling flush Read more

Casio Exilim EX-FH25 review

At first glance, the 10.1-megapixel Exilim EX-FH25 superzoom doesn't look particularly great. It's expensive and its 20x zoom range is nothing to get a nosebleed over. But its high-speed shooting capability really sets this camera apart from the pack, and makes it a great choice for capturing action shots from afar Read more

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FS33 review

The 14.1-megapixel Lumix DMC-FS33 has its flaws, but it compensates for them by offering plenty of good features at an affordable price. Among its charms are an 8x zoom, excellent build quality and pictures that are a cut above the competition in this price bracket Read more
