Canon PowerShot A800 review
If you're on a budget, the Canon PowerShot A800 should be among the first compact cameras you consider. It's very straightforward, takes a decent photo and represents extremely good value for money. Read more

Olympus Tough TG-310 review
The ruggedised Olympus Tough TG-310 is certainly a robust camera, but there are plenty of more resilient models out there. Its average performance and some usability issues don't do much to further this camera's cause. Read more

Canon PowerShot S95 review
The Canon PowerShot S95 is a high-performance snapshot camera that doesn't claim to be an alternative to a dSLR, but costs almost as much. You're paying for a smaller form factor, solid feature set and equally solid build. Read more

Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX5 review
The 10.1-megapixel Lumix DMC-LX5 is a compact and feature-packed camera that would make a good choice as a back-up for a digital SLR. The lack of a flash adjustment is a strange omission in a camera of this type, but it's worth a look if you need plenty of power in your pocket Read more

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

Canon IXUS 300 HS review
The IXUS 300 HS is pricey for a compact camera, but it's a pocket-sized powerhouse. Its pictures are great, even at high ISOs, and its super-slow-motion movie mode is a real hoot. Its high-speed shooting modes are also decent. Overall, it's a very good camera Read more

Canon PowerShot A495 review
The 10-megapixel PowerShot A495 is an affordable compact camera that offers good photos for the price. The biggest downside is its fairly slow shooting performance, but at this price you can't complain too much. It's very straightforward to use too Read more

Olympus mju Tough-3000 review
The 12-megapixel mju Tough-3000 compact camera offers a good combination of features, durability, convenience and affordability. As with most rugged cameras, you won't get exhibition-quality prints from the 3000, but adrenaline junkies should give it a perusal Read more
