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

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

Nikon Coolpix L11 review

Some budget digital cameras offer surprisingly good picture quality for very little money, such as the Nikon Coolpix L11, a simple, easy-to-use 6-megapixel point-and-shoot that produces very acceptable pictures for under £100 Read more

Nikon Coolpix L10 review

The Nikon Coolpix L10 comes from a family of rock-bottom budget cameras, but they don't skim on performance. The L10 did well in our tests, both in shooting time and in keeping the noise levels under control. While this isn't a camera with lots of frills, it does its family proud as a simple point-and-shoot Read more

Nikon Coolpix L2 review

The 6-megapixel Nikon Coolpix L2 offers only the bare necessities for picture taking but, for its class, delivers excellent photos that require minimal effort. The Coolpix L2 squarely targets casual photographers though, and more experienced users may be frustrated by the camera's lack of controls Read more

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX9 review

A slim, beautifully built pocket camera boasting Panasonic's Mega OIS optical image stabilisation which allows you to capture sharp images at slow shutter speeds without a tripod or flash. The camera is also a snappy performer speedwise, but photographers with a critical eye will pause at the less than stellar photo quality Read more

Olympus FE-115 review

The Olympus FE-115 is all about simplicity. This clunky 5-megapixel shooter sports a 3x optical zoom lens, seven shooting modes and not much else. It's inexpensive and takes decent pictures, but does suffer from extremely slow performance and lack of basic image settings -- it's a good idea to look around before you buy Read more

Olympus FE-140 review

If you want a simple camera, look no further than Olympus's FE-series point-and-shoot models, which have no manual settings but offer low price tags and helpful features for photography newbies. The FE-140 offers a 6-megapixel sensor, 3x optical zoom and a 64mm LCD screen, but captures images that are mediocre at best Read more

Olympus FE-200 review

The 6-megapixel Olympus FE-200 boasts the nicest lens in its series, with a wide 28mm-to-140mm zoom. A digital image stabilisation mode helps reduce shaking when zooming in but the wait of 7.3 seconds between shots may frustrate some users Read more
