Nikon Coolpix L4 review

The £90 Coolpix L4 is the least expensive of Nikon's low-end L-series line of digital cameras. The L4 has a small, 4-megapixel sensor, a 3x optical zoom lens and a handful of scene preset modes but few high-end settings. Though slow and not very versatile, it produces some pretty good pictures for its budget price Read more

Kodak EasyShare V603 review

Kodak's 6-megapixel EasyShare V603 is a fast mover. It shares many of the same features as its sibling, the EasyShare V550 -- it, too, lacks manual exposure controls, but the 22 scene presets will help you tackle a variety of conditions, and exposure compensation lets you tweak the camera's automatic choices Read more

Fujifilm FinePix Z5fd review

The Fujifilm FinePix Z5fd aims high in its class of compacts. With good performance numbers in most shooting situations, its photos come out sharp and bright with very few compression artefacts. Plus, besides savvy silver, it comes in ravishing raspberry and mature mocha. Top drawer Read more

Everyone is jumping on the touchscreen bandwagon these days. The Kodak EasyShare V1073 is bringing its 10 megapixels and style-conscious metal body along for the ride, too. It's a classy little snapper and your images will come out looking bright and smooth Read more

BenQ DC E1000 review

With its minimalist charm and plenty of features, the BenQ DC E1000 is a diamond in the rough. Its screen is truly enormous at 76mm (3 inches), and the camera features a 3x optical zoom, face detection and shutter and aperture priority. This compact is definitely a great find Read more

Casio Exilim EX-Z700 review

Performance and size make the ultracompact Exilim EX-Z700 great for quick snapshots. The comfortable, well-built camera powers up in just 1.2 seconds and can take a shot every 1.5 seconds thereafter. Colours and fine details are reproduced well, but some distortion was observed on the extreme left of photos during testing Read more
