Best Compact Digital Cameras Reviews | Editors' Top-rated Compact Digital Cameras

The Kodak EasyShare M1093 is unashamedly masculine in design, with sleek lines, matte black finishing and subtle contours -- all of which we love. It offers a great selection of scene modes, shoots 720p high-definition video and produces good pictures by means of its responsive autofocus and fast snapping speeds Read more

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W170 review

Underneath its plain exterior, the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W170 hides a wealth of clever features and an extremely intuitive graphical interface. It also includes a viewfinder -- a compact rarity, these days -- and good a face detection system among its many tweakable options Read more

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FS15 review

The 12.1-megapixel Lumix DMC-FS15 ultra-compact camera isn't the fastest snapper in the world, so it's not great for capturing moving subjects. Its pictures aren't flaw-free either. But it does offer spot-on features for the price, and it's a good choice if you just want to take everyday snapshots Read more

Canon PowerShot D10 review

The 12-megapixel PowerShot D10 adds a welcome splash of style to the ruggedised camera market. Although it's not as shockproof as some of its rivals and the basic 3x zoom is nothing to shout about, it's waterproof to an impressive 10m and the lens is unusually sharp for this class of camera Read more

Fujifilm FinePix F80EXR review

The 12-megapixel FinePix F80EXR is a versatile, 10x compact superzoom that offers good value for money. Fujifilm's EXR sensor technology no longer looks as fascinating as it once did, but the camera offers a good 720p movie mode and decent photo quality Read more

Samsung WB500 review

The 10-megapixel WB500 compact superzoom with an ultra-wideangle 10x zoom ticks all the boxes, has no serious flaws and represents good value for money. There are more exciting cameras on the market, but the WB500 is well worth a look, offering good image quality and design Read more

Kodak EasyShare Z1012 IS review

When compared to nimble, budget dSLRs, it's easy to sneer at superzooms. With its powerful, stabilised lens, decent 720p movies, the Kodak EasyShare Z1012 IS is a viable, cost-effective alternative to a dSLR. Its 12x zoom and excellent stabilisation definitely make it tempting Read more
