Ricoh GX200 review

The GX200's 69mm LCD screen packs in an amazing 460,000 pixels, twice the resolution of most -- and that's just one example of the top-end features this camera has despite its small size. Its focal length is also wider than usual, meaning it'll be good if you're into landscape and travel photography Read more

Olympus SP-570 UZ review

The Olympus SP-570 UZ is an extremely promising superzoom, with the widest optical zoom range of any compact camera at 20x, plus built-in image stabilisation, a 1cm macro mode, full manual controls and the ability to shoot at an incredible ISO 6,400 -- and it's got a very tempting price tag too Read more

Olympus mju 1050SW review

The Olympus mju 1050SW is especially pretty for being waterproof, shockproof and freezeproof. It's quite astonishing that such an elegant camera should turn out to be so tough, but its small size and slippery finish limit its usefulness in the extreme environments it's so good at surviving Read more

Fujifilm FinePix Real 3D W1 review

Fujifilm deserves a substantial pat on the back for creating the FinePix Real 3D W1. Not only does it function as a normal compact camera, but it can also use its two lenses to produce strikingly effective 3D images. This snapper's not without its downsides, but it's capable of some impressive results Read more

Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ8 review

Panasonic has two superzooms: the movie-oriented TZ10 and this, the everyday shooting TZ8, which is much cheaper. The thing is, the TZ8 is very nearly as good as the fantastic TZ10, making very few concessions. But which is better value for money? Read more

Fujifilm FinePix F200EXR review

The FinePix F200EXR is a great camera, but it's Fujifilm's new EXR sensor that's the star of the show, capturing a level of detail that can't be matched by rivals. The controls can be confusing and you might notice some barrel distortion, but overall, the F200EXR sets new standards for compact-camera performance 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 NEX-3 review

The 14.2-megapixel NEX-3 is a good option for those seeking a compact camera with interchangeable lenses. It's about £100 cheaper than its big brother, the NEX-5, but there are no serious compromises, and it will probably suit novice shooters well 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

Nikon Coolpix S3000 review

The 12-megapixel Coolpix S3000 is a good little compact camera for a budget price. If you want cutting-edge tech, look elsewhere, but, if you want a pocket-friendly snapper that's easy to use, attractive and capable of taking decent photos, it may well fit the bill. Its 4x wide-angle zoom is handy too Read more
