Reviews of Latest Compact Digital Cameras

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

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The 14-megapixel EasyShare M580 delivers much better pictures than its plasticky exterior and outdated interface might suggest.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

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FP3 review

You won't get dSLR-quality photos from the 14.1-megapixel Lumix DMC-FP3 compact camera, but it is remarkably quick, so split-second photo opportunities need not pass you by. It also offers a 4x optical zoom, a touch-sensitive display and 720p movie-capture capability in a super-slim, attractive body 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
