Canon PowerShot A2000 IS review
The PowerShot A2000 IS is an uncomplicated, 10-megapixel compact that produces above-average pictures but fails to excite. With countless rivals offering more interesting features, you can't help but feel that this is the Ford Focus of digital cameras Read more

Sigma DP1 review
The DP1 is the companion camera to Sigma's SD14. It uses the same unique three-layer Foveon sensor, but this time in a compact body with a fixed focal-length lens. It's designed for photographers looking for simplicity, clarity and quality rather than gimmicks, and are prepared to invest serious cash in their hobby Read more

Nikon Coolpix P6000 review
Nikon's 13.5-megapixel P6000 looks so good on paper you might wonder whether you need a digital SLR at all. Its sensor matches the pixel count of any low-medium range dSLR, its 4x zoom is more than the average kit lens, it shoots raw files, has a full set of exposure modes and there's vibration reduction too Read more

Sigma DP2 review
The DP2 is how cameras used to be -- a box with a lens, and just enough controls to let you get the picture you want. And the picture quality is excellent, offering clarity that's on a par with 10- to 12-megapixel digital SLRs and streets ahead of any other compact. You'll have to fork out for it, though Read more

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FS25 review
The 12-megapixel Lumix DMC-FS25 provides the chance to get all the usual Panasonic tech in a cheaper, but still very decent, package. Detail in its pictures lacks bite, but the results are still good, and the design is robust and efficient, making for a worthwhile compact camera overall Read more

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX5V review
Sony has unleashed the full force of its boffins' brains on the 10.2-megapixel Cyber-shot DSC-HX5V superzoom. An uncanny panorama mode, GPS, super-fast autofocus and a 10x zoom are among the numerous treats on offer. The aggressive noise-reduction software is almost the only downside Read more

Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZX3 review
The 14.1-megapixel Lumix DMC-ZX3 is a great little camera that packs an 8x super-wide-angle zoom into an impressively compact body. Panasonic's gone overboard with the 'intelligent' features, but it's capable of taking some good photos and can record 720p movies too Read more

Nikon Coolpix S1000pj review
The world's first camera with an integrated projector, the 12.1-megapixel Coolpix S1000pj's most interesting feature will either have you chortling with delight or feeling totally unimpressed. But it's not all about the projector -- the S1000pj is a pretty good compact in its own right Read more

Fujifilm FinePix F80EXR review
The 12-megapixel FinePix F80EXR is a versatile, 10x compact superzoom that offers good value for money. Fujifilm's EXR sensor technology no longer looks as fascinating as it once did, but the camera offers a good 720p movie mode and decent photo quality Read more
