Nikon Coolpix P6000 review

Nikon's 13.5-megapixel P6000 looks so good on paper you might wonder whether you need a digital SLR at all. Its sensor matches the pixel count of any low-medium range dSLR, its 4x zoom is more than the average kit lens, it shoots raw files, has a full set of exposure modes and there's vibration reduction too Read more

Panasonic Lumix DMC-G10 review

Panasonic's new entry-level 12-megapixel Micro Four Thirds camera, the G10, is competing head-on with a whole bunch of rather good low-cost digital SLRs. Do live-view shooting and HD movie modes give it the edge over more traditional shooters? Read more

Kodak EasyShare C875 review

Kodak succeeds in getting straight to the point with its EasyShare C875, the high-end member of the EasyShare C series of snapshot cameras. This solid 8-megapixel point-and-shoot doesn't have any outrageous gimmicks, but it produces good pictures and offers plenty of advanced controls Read more

Pentax K100D review

Following 30 years of absence, Pentax has brought the K back. The K100D does a wonderful job of balancing the needs of amateur and experienced photographers. It doesn't have some of the more fancy features that you'll find on more expensive cameras, but for its price, the K-100D is a steal Read more

Nikon Coolpix P3 review

'Wi-Fi' is the word for the 8-megapixel Nikon Coolpix P3 -- this compact point-and-shoot incorporates an internal transmitter for uploading pictures to a nearby computer or printer. But it's the P3's excellent image quality that impresses us most. With optical vibration reduction, the P3 is a great casual shooter Read more

Fujifilm FinePix S100FS review

The Fujifilm FinePix S100FS is an 11-megapixel superzoom that strikes a happy medium between dSLR and bridge cameras. It's a solid build with a wide lens and a mechanically stabilised zoom. It performs well and the controls are easy to use, while the LCD screen hinges out the back of the camera Read more

Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX3 review

The 10-megapixel Lumix DMC-LX3 is a compact, elegant camera that offers an enthusiast-friendly feature set and takes sharp, saturated photos. Shot times could be better and the camera's not without its quirks, but the LX3 is well worth considering if you need something more discreet than a digital SLR 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

Olympus u [mju:] 810 Digital review

The versatile, water-resistant 8-megapixel Olympus mju 810 Digital adapts to dim environments as readily as it braves damp ones. Thanks to a combination of high sensitivity (up to ISO 3,200), digital image stabilisation and Olympus's Bright Capture pixel-pooling technology, the mju 810 can take and display acceptable pictures in low light Read more

Canon PowerShot A640 review

With lots of manual settings and a reasonably low price tag, Canon's PowerShot A640 looks appealing. Though it lacks the flexibility of higher-end cameras and the stylish portability of more compact shooters, the 10-megapixel A640 is a smart, fully featured camera with some surprising benefits -- like a fold-out LCD Read more
