Panasonic Lumix DMC-LZ2B review
The 5-megapixel DMC-LZ2's vibration-damping optical image stabilisation is especially useful at the telephoto end of this compact's 6x zoom. High-performance burst shooting and easy operation increase the DMC-LZ2's appeal, but its lack of manual controls will disappoint photo enthusiasts Read more

Leica V-Lux 1 review
A repackaged version of Panasonic's Lumix DMC-FZ50, the most attractive feature of the Leica V-Lux 1 superzoom camera is its lens: a Leica DC Vario-Elmarit 12x optical zoom. Coupled with Panasonic's optical image stabilisation, this long reach becomes even more useful. It's a lot more expensive than the Panasonic, though Read more

Pentax Optio WP review
Waterproof to a depth of 1.5m, this compact, 5-megapixel point-and-shoot camera is ideal for snorkelling, swimming and other aquatic fun. A few performance issues aside, the slim Pentax Optio WP delivers plenty of user-friendly features and perfectly acceptable snapshot image quality Read more

Canon PowerShot S3 IS review
An upgrade to 6 megapixels and a 51mm LCD from the lovely PowerShot S2 IS, the S3 IS fast and responsive with a flip and twist LCD and a high-quality lens with effective optical image stabilisation. Its combination of features, performance and relatively compact design certainly gives superzoom fans a compelling alternative Read more

Canon Digital IXUS 700 review
We really enjoyed shooting with the Canon Digital IXUS 700. It has an exterior design that combines form and function more elegantly than any point-and-shoot we've ever tested Read more

Canon PowerShot A620 review
With a 4x optical zoom, the 7-megapixel PowerShot A620 keeps up the A95's tradition of packing full manual controls and a solid list of scene modes into an easy-to-use camera that will appeal to photographers who want to learn more Read more

HP Photosmart R817 review
The 190g R817 has a 5.1-megapixel sensor, a mostly metal body, a bright 51mm LCD screen and a 5x optical zoom, unusual in a camera this small. It also features innovative image-enhancement software, which makes suggestions on how to improve your shots Read more

Canon Digital IXUS Wireless review
Canon has created a boon for remote-shooting fans with its Digital IXUS Wireless, a 5-megapixel ultracompact that is basically an IXUS 50 with a slightly different body and a built-in Wi-Fi transmitter. It also features a 51mm LCD, limited manual control, snappy shooting performance and middle-of-the-road image quality Read more
