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

Olympus u [mju:]-mini Digital S review

This update to the original sleek and sexy Olympus mju-mini Digital boasts 1 million more pixels and slightly improved performance, but it still suffers from average image quality, an anaemic electronic flash and a limited 2x zoom Read more

Casio Exilim Zoom EX-Z750 review

You usually have to choose between two types of digital cameras: slim-line beauties with large LCD screens or bulky enthusiast cameras capable of heavy lifting. The Casio Exilim EX-Z750 scores a coup by integrating these two schools of camera design -- or rather, squeezing the benefits of the latter into the tight-fitting trousers of the former Read more

Panasonic Lumix DMC-LZ2B review

The 5-megapixel DMC-LZ2's vibration-damping optical image stabilisation is especially useful at the telephoto end of this compact's 6x zoom. High-performance burst shooting and easy operation increase the DMC-LZ2's appeal, but its lack of manual controls will disappoint photo enthusiasts Read more

Panasonic Lumix DMC-LZ1B review

Priced lower than its 5-megapixel Lumix DMC-LZ2 sibling, this affordable point-and-shoot offers the same 6x zoom lens with optical image stabilisation. Panasonic trimmed about a million pixels to create this 4-megapixel version, but its image quality is almost as good as the higher-res model's Read more

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H1 review

Although slightly larger and heavier than its competitors, the DSC-H1 holds its own thanks to a broad feature set, speedy performance and 12x optical zoom. We have a few quibbles, but the H1 may please enthusiasts hankering for a camera with an extended focal range Read more

Fujifilm FinePix Z1 review

The Fujifilm Finepix Z1 is the perfect party companion -- slim, stylish and capable of producing good images in low light, an important feature for capturing great nights out. It's limited to snapshots, though, as there's not much in the way of options Read more
