Sony Cyber-shot DSC-S600 review
The chunky DSC-S600 offers remarkable flexibility despite its bargain price. Its 6-megapixel resolution and moderately wide 31mm-to-93mm lens, in conjunction with decent low-light photos and extended shutter-speed latitude in moderate light, combine to produce a versatile point-and-shoot camera Read more

Casio Exilim Pro EX-P505 review
Photo cameras make poor camcorders, and camcorders take terrible photos. However, Casio's Exilim Pro EX-P505 does inch us closer to a device that's equally adept with both functions Read more

Pentax Optio S5n review
From the compact size and the tweedle-beep that it makes on start-up to the bright contrasty LCD and the icon-based menus, the 5-megapixel Optio S5n is a cute little camera that'll find a home in your heart as well as your pocket. 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 50 review
If you're looking for an ultracompact snapshot camera and don't need manual controls, lots of scene modes or a powerful electronic flash, the marginally better image quality of this unit over its IXUS 40 predecessor may lure you into the Canon fold Read more

Canon PowerShot A610 review
The PowerShot A610 packs a lot of muscle into its compact body. A 4x optical zoom, full manual controls, a long list of scene modes and above-average performance and image quality make this camera a perfect match for casual photographers and enthusiasts who want it all for a competitive price Read more

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
