Canon IXUS 115 HS review
The Canon IXUS 115 HS compact camera outshines many of its rivals in terms of performance, features and usability. It's not exactly a munter either. Read more

Canon PowerShot SX220 HS review
It would be a mistake to dismiss the Canon PowerShot SX220 HS compact superzoom as an incremental update to the SX210 IS. It's powerful, flexible, straightforward and fun to use. Read more

Nikon Coolpix L4 review
The £90 Coolpix L4 is the least expensive of Nikon's low-end L-series line of digital cameras.

Though slow and not very versatile, it produces some pretty good pictures for its budget price Read more
