Pentax Optio A10 review
Pentax's Optio A10 boasts some impressive specs, including 8-megapixel resolution, sensor-shifting shake reduction, ISO 800 sensitivity and a high-resolution 232,000-pixel 64mm (2.5-inch) LCD. It produces decent images under a variety of conditions, but suffers from excessive noise above ISO 200 Read more

Fujifilm FinePix F470 review
Just 20mm thin and very light, the F470 has a good, sunlight-friendly 64mm LCD but little else to recommend it -- its mundane features and mediocre image quality hamper its appeal, but if you don't need high ISO, it offers better value for money than other Fujifilm cameras Read more

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W30 review
A pocket-size shooter from Sony, the Cyber-shot DSC-W30 provides impressive photos and fast, easy operation in a simple package. A limited 3x zoom lens and a paucity of manual controls limit the DSC-W30's enthusiast appeal to those looking for a small second camera, however Read more

Casio Exilim EX-S600 review
With 35 scene modes that cover every picture-taking situation, plus a user-definable scene mode, the EX-S600 puts the brains back into no-brainer snapshooting. Unfortunately, these assets are outweighed by its limited 3x zoom range and mediocre photo quality Read more

Olympus IR-500 review
The IR-500 may be a limited digicam, with only a 4-megapixel sensor and a 2.8x optical zoom lens, but it presents its captured pictures and video on its lovely 64mm LCD in a bewildering variety of ways -- it has nine PowerPoint-like transition effects, including zoom, faders, swivels and Venetian blinds and sorted by shooting date as a visual diary Read more

Nikon Coolpix S4 review
Resurrecting the swivel lens after nearly three years, the S4 comes in a compact package, with 6-megapixel resolution, a 10x zoom lens, a 64mm LCD, and Nikon's signature ease-of-use features. But a lack of manual controls makes this a poor choice for shooting indoors Read more

Nikon Coolpix 5900 review
A smattering of cor-blimey features lifts this compact point-and-shoot model above the 5-megapixel crowd, including Face-Priority Autofocus, a post-shot shadow-brightening tool, help features and blur detection. A poor low-light autofocus and an inaccurate optical viewfinder will disappoint, however 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

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

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
