Pentax Optio VS20 review

At just £160, the Pentax Optio VS20 boasts some impressive specs. Unfortunately, the output left a little to be desired. Read more

Kodak EasyShare M873 review

At 18mm, the Kodak EasyShare M873 slips into the skinniest of skinny jeans. This ultracompact camera reaches up to ISO 1,600 and allows for digital image stablisation, making it ultimately a success as an affordable compact, in that it's small and takes reasonable pictures Read more

Olympus FE-130 review

The Olympus FE-series is a straightforward point-and-shoot range that has no manual settings but includes low price tags and helpful features for those new to photography. The FE-130 is a 5-megapixel digital camera with a 38mm-to-114m (35mm equivalent) optical zoom lens, a 64mm LCD screen and a few intimidating camera settings Read more

Kodak EasyShare Z1275 review

The Kodak EasyShare Z1275 is an attempt to bring 12 megapixels to the masses, and it's certainly affordable. The usual Kodak bells and whistles are present, including 20 scene modes and panorama stitch function, but the star of the show is the 5x optical zoom lens Read more

Pentax Optio M900 review

If you only have £100 or less to spend on a friendly beginner camera, the Pentax Optio M900 offers a fair return for a modest investment. But an outlay of just £50 more will get you a better camera in Nikon's similar S5100 -- and better pictures, too. Read more

Samsung i8 review

The Samsung i8 isn't just an 8.2-megapixel digital camera -- it's also a portable multimedia player, world tour guide, text viewer, storage device and voice recorder. There are a few downsides -- including some design flaws -- but as far as all-in-ones go, this camera performs well enough Read more

Kodak EasyShare M1073 IS review

The Kodak EasyShare M1073 IS is a 10.2-megapixel point-and-shoot. While we've seen some scorching-hot cameras from Kodak in recent months, the blocky M1073 doesn't quite inspire the same kind of love at first sight. It does have a good 69mm LCD, optical image stabilisation and face detection, though Read more

Fujifilm FinePix S1000fd review

As enormous great 18x and 20x zoom lenses become more common, we're also seeing smaller superzooms, such as the 10-megapixel Fujifilm FinePix S1000fd. On top of its 12x optical zoom lens, it helps the user with straightforward controls and uses easily available AA batteries and SD memory cards Read more
