Kodak EasyShare V550 review

With its ice-blue indicator lights and flying-saucer-shaped dock, the 5-megapixel Kodak EasyShare V550 brings some UFO style to Kodak's point-and-shoot cameras. Equipped with friendly features, a 64mm LCD and 3x optical zoom, the V550 will appeal to those who want portability and simplicity wrapped in an attractive package Read more

The Olympus C-55 Zoom's 5-megapixel resolution, 5x optical zoom, solid build, impressive array of features and very good image quality add up to a strong all-purpose option for the advanced snapshot photographer Read more

Samsung Digimax i5 preview hands-on

Samsung dips its toe in the ultracompact pond with this promising little digicam. It offers 5 megapixels, voice recording, a 64mm display and a 3x optical zoom that, unusually, works with the VGA movie mode Read more

Samsung Digimax Pro 815 preview hands-on

The Samsung Digimax Pro 815 swaggers into shot boasting 8 megapixels, a humungous 15x optical zoom and an equally vast 89mm (3.5-inch) rear LCD, one of three screens on the camera. However, it doesn't offer optical image stabilisation -- a perplexing omission Read more

Pentax Optio S5z review

The Optio S5z is a direct update of the smart little S5n, and is very similar -- except for the extra 13mm of LCD screen on the back. Other changes include a battery charger instead of the Optio S5n's docking station and a new Comment function that leaves a blank strip along the bottom of your photo Read more

Nikon Coolpix 4800 review

Outgrown your point-and-shoot compact? Not ready to commit to the expense and complication of a dSLR? The Coolpix 4800 could hold the answer. Its 8.3x digital zoom offers plenty of scope without making the whole thing too bulky, and the image quality is great for a 4-megapixel shooter Read more

Fujifilm FinePix F10 Zoom review

Usable high-ISO sensitivities, good photo quality and a brawny battery highlight the appeal of the 6-megapixel Fujifilm FinePix F10. It's a compact point-and-shoot with a 3x optical zoom and a 64mm LCD. But there are no manual controls for exposure or focus and the image quality isn't perfect Read more

Kodak EasyShare Z740 review

The EasyShare Z740 has much to recommend it: a 10x zoom lens, manual exposure controls, 5-megapixel resolution and a versatile burst-shooting mode. Only rampant purple fringing, some noise, a lack of manual focus and a low-res EVF spoil the party Read more

HP Photosmart M23 review

HP's Photosmart M23 has a lovely help system and a low, low price -- but that's about it. Sluggish performance, mediocre image quality and a lack of either optical zoom or viewfinder make it hard to recommend Read more

Casio Exilim Card EX-S500 review

The latest in Casio's superslim line of card cameras, the 5-megapixel Exilim EX-S500 offers a 3x optical zoom and lots of features such as a burst mode, MPEG-4 video capture, and the ever-important AF illuminator. Its photo quality doesn't distinguish it, but if you're not too picky, it's definitely worth a look Read more
