Olympus FE-5500 preview hands-on

An ultracompact, 5-megapixel camera with a full metal body, a 51mm LCD and a 3x zoom lens, the Olympus FE-5500 also boasts a built-in help feature that gives you onscreen guidance as to which automated mode or feature to select. It's got stiff competition, but the sub-£200 price tag should help Read more

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-G1 review

The screen on the Cyber-shot DSC-G1 is so big, you can almost gather friends around it to watch slides. With its MP3 capabilities, you can even set your photos to your favourite songs. Fitting comfortably into your jacket pocket, take the DSC-G1's show on the road Read more

GoPro Motorsports Hero Wide review

The Motorsports Hero Wide vehicle-mounted digital-camera system offers reasonable video-recording capability and picture quality for a decent price. Remarkably easy to use, this robust system is a great way to record your high-speed high jinks, but consumes batteries at a rapid rate Read more

Samsung Digimax L60 review

The Samsung Digimax L60 is a solid point-and-shoot camera with a handful of image settings, good performance and decent image quality. Its burst mode is slower than that of most cameras of its class, but if you're not shooting sports and don't mind an occasional purple halo it's certainly a strong choice Read more

Fujifilm FinePix S6500fd review

The 6-megapixel Fujifilm FinePix S6500fd isn't the longest superzoom by any means -- its 10x zoom only just qualifies it for the category. But size isn't everything, and with some excellent dSLR-like features, the S6500 is an attractive package -- especially at its current price Read more

Casio Exilim EX-F1 review

If you've ever missed a great photo waiting for automatic focus or a flash, you'll know the importance of high-speed shooting. Casio's Exilim EX-F1 takes it to the extreme, capable of capturing up to 60 full-resolution snaps -- or a mind-boggling 1,200 low-res pics -- in a single second Read more

Canon Digital IXUS 800 IS review

The Canon Digital IXUS 800 IS is a very strong, compact digital camera that produces great pictures. Its price is slightly high compared to that of its little siblings, the IXUS 60 and IXUS 65, but its great image stabilisation and subsequent blur-free photos are worth the extra few quid Read more

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX10 review

The Lumix DMC-FX10 steps up to the plate with 6 megapixels, a 3x optical zoom lens and a 64mm LCD -- nothing to set the world on fire, but add in Panasonic's effective optical image stabilisation and a sub-£130 price, and you get a very good deal Read more
