Olympus mju 5000 review
The 12-megapixel mju 5000 is an extremely stylish and well-made compact camera. With unusual but excellent controls, a 5x zoom and 8 frames per second shooting, it's also a pleasure to use and takes great pictures. We're not entirely sold on the supported memory-card formats though Read more

Olympus mju Tough-8000 review
If you're looking for a compact camera that can withstand extraordinary levels of abuse, you might want to check out the mju Tough-8000, particularly as it also functions perfectly well as an everyday camera. The lens could be sharper but, otherwise, you have to look pretty hard to find any flaws with this beast Read more

Olympus mju 9000 review
The 12-megapixel mju 9000 packs a 10x optical zoom into a body no bigger than that of the average compact camera, making it unusually pocket-friendly. It's also attractively finished, responsive and delivers good results, although it has a tendency towards overexposure Read more

Canon Digital IXUS 120 IS review
The 12-megapixel Digital IXUS 120 IS is difficult to resist, thanks to its combination of a tiny, attractive body, simple operation, and generally very good photos. Occasionally, its images can suffer from purple fringing, and it can also be sluggish, but this is one of the better ultra-compacts on the market Read more

Nikon Coolpix S570 review
The 12-megapixel Coolpix S570 is a thoroughly respectable ultra-compact camera that feels more expensive than it is. For someone seeking a reasonably priced snapper for portrait and landscape shots, where speedy performance is less of an issue, the S570 should work well Read more

Olympus mju-7040 review
The 14-megapixel mju-7040 is an attractive and flexible compact camera, packing a speedy 7x wide-angle zoom into a diminutive body. Its 2GB of internal storage, one-click 720p movie-recording mode and in-built photo-browsing software are useful too Read more

Pentax Optio P70 review
The 12-megapixel Optio P70 boasts an exemplary ultra-compact design, has great features and offers relatively good pictures for the target audience -- those who want to step up from taking snaps with their phone. We wish it was speedier though, and its low-light shots aren't great Read more

Olympus mju Tough-6010 review
Ernest Shackleton would probably have been mightily taken with the shockproof, waterproof and freezeproof mju Tough-6010. Its picture quality isn't going to blow anybody's mind, but it looks smart, offers good value for money, and can withstand a fair degree of punishment Read more

Nikon Coolpix S3000 review
The 12-megapixel Coolpix S3000 is a good little compact camera for a budget price. If you want cutting-edge tech, look elsewhere, but, if you want a pocket-friendly snapper that's easy to use, attractive and capable of taking decent photos, it may well fit the bill. Its 4x wide-angle zoom is handy too Read more

Olympus mju 7000 review
The 12-megapixel mju 7000 isn't going to make anyone wet their pants with excitement, but it's a capable snapper nonetheless. With a 7x zoom range, it offers serious telephoto capability in a compact body that can slip into your shirt pocket, and its pictures are good too Read more
