Canon PowerShot S70 review

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T30 review

Sleek and compact as ever, the latest in Sony's T series features optical image stabilisation and a 76mm LCD screen. Its 58MB internal memory comes in handy if you take advantage of the camera's built-in slide-show mode. Good picture quality and speedy performance also recommend it Read more

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-V3 review

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W5 review

Decent image quality, a versatile burst mode and convenient AA battery power make this Sony suitable for photo fans who want a pocketable camera with a useful set of features. Limited manual control and too many features hidden in the menus are among the few problems Read more

Canon Digital IXUS 980 IS review

Top dog for the moment, the Canon Digital IXUS 980 IS has the highest resolution in its family -- 15 megapixels. It delivers excellent photo quality, offers plenty of shooting options, and its looks are characteristic of Canon's recent willingness to play with design Read more

Ricoh CX4 review

It's not going to kick-start any trends, but the workmanlike CX4 is another solid showing from Ricoh in every sense of the word. Its zoom capability and above-average screen resolution is what raises this camera above the pile. Read more

Nikon Coolpix S70 review

The 12.1-megapixel Coolpix S70 is an expensive compact camera, which might lead you to expect better photo quality than you'll actually get. Photos are still very good, but you're really investing in the beautiful and responsive touchscreen and the slick design Read more

Casio Exilim EX-Z1000 review

Casio's Exilim EX-Z1000 is the 10-megapixel follow up to the 8-megapixel Exilim EX-Z850, but with this model it's a case of swings and roundabouts. It forgoes the optical viewfinder, the manual exposure controls and the shooting flexibility of the EX-Z850 in favour of a 16:9-aspect ratio, a 71mm LCD and a more refined interface Read more

Canon Digital IXUS 900 Ti review

Stylish without being inconvenient or awkward, the 10-megapixel Canon Digital IXUS 900 Ti is just the right size to fit into a jacket pocket. It produces very solid photos with nicely saturated colours. But while it's heavy on style, it's pretty light on features that its siblings offer Read more

Nikon Coolpix 7600 review

This 7-megapixel, 3x optical-zoom model squarely targets the snapshot set, but it delivers where it really counts: helpful features and very good picture quality Read more
