Ricoh R8 review
With the Caplio R7 rating as one of our favourite point-and-shoots of last year, the Ricoh R8 has a lot to live up to -- and it does. While you don't have many manual controls, this retro-style compact is feature rich and certainly tweakable, appealing to both novices and professionals Read more

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ18 review
The Panasonic DMC-FZ18 is a mammoth superzoom, packing in 18x zoom lens and 8 megapixels. Despite its large dimensions, it's great fun to use, and is an uncluttered and responsive dSLR-like interface giving access to a wealth of features. It's all the fun without actually being a dSLR Read more

Casio Exilim Pro EX-FH20 review
The Casio Exilim EX-FH20 is the latest of Casio's wonder-cameras that can shoot photos and videos at incredibly fast speeds. While the FH20 isn't as fast as the record-breaking F1, it also comes at a reduced size, with an impressive superzoom and a bevy of useful everyday features Read more

Canon PowerShot G10 review
Still the Godfather of compact cameras, the Canon G10 is a worthy successor to the G9. A wideangle lens, accessible controls and a list of features as long as your arm put dSLR power in your pocket. The 14.7-megapixel snapper is chunky by anyone's standards but it packs in enough power to make it worth it Read more

Samsung VP-HMX20 review
Samsung is coming into its own on the camcorder front, with the Samsung HMX20. It's a sleeker, more confident beast, and impressed us with the quality of its video even in low light, making this more than just a good-looking model. It's lacking a few things, but its ease of use more than makes up for it Read more

The Nikon Coolpix P5100 is a highly specced 12.1-megapixel camera, with impressive image quality. It packs SLR-style features into a compact frame and gives you great control over shooting. Image stabilisation is built into the lens and you also have the option of distortion control Read more

Ricoh Caplio R7 review
The Ricoh Caplio R7 is a camera that takes charge. Available in orange, silver and black flavours, this camera boasts a mini joystick plus the standard clickpad to navigate settings. Changing the white balance and exposure has never been easier and that certainly shows a bit of design gumption Read more

Canon Digital IXUS 860 IS review
The Canon Digital IXUS 860 IS does the thinking for you. Its wealth of features include 10 scene modes, plus Canon's Digic III technology, which handles face detection and noise reduction. The screen is a large 76mm (3 inches) and the menu items accessible, so you can keep a clear head while shooting Read more

Panasonic HDC-SD5 review
Panasonic's HDC-SD5 is a 3CCD hi-def camcorder that records to flash memory. This makes it very small and light, but it manages to offer a high-resolution foldout screen. Intelligent contrast control makes for great quality high-definition footage Read more
