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

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-M2 review

Thanks to good image quality and a big, bright LCD that's usable in sunlight, this hybrid still camera/camcorder is a surprisingly good point-and-click 5-megapixel snapshooter -- assuming you're willing to pay a premium for a camera with a 3x zoom, no manual controls and no bundled memory card 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

Fujifilm FinePix Z1 review

The Fujifilm Finepix Z1 is the perfect party companion -- slim, stylish and capable of producing good images in low light, an important feature for capturing great nights out. It's limited to snapshots, though, as there's not much in the way of options Read more

Canon PowerShot A700 review

The compact Canon PowerShot A700 offers abundant manual controls, respectable image quality and acceptable ISO 800 performance, appealing to both the enthusiast photographer or serious beginner who wants some control over exposure and focus. With its 6x zoom lens it stands above most competitors in the same class Read more

Kodak EasyShare Z7590 review

On paper, the Kodak EasyShare Z7590 looks great -- 10x optical zoom and a host of shooting modes seems very good value for £250. But mediocre image quality spoils the fun, with a wide variety of digital artefacts reducing the camera's desirability 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

Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX1 review

Aside from its 8-megapixel resolution, the compact Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX1 justifies its premium price with a vast array of boiling-hot features, including the world's first incorporation of a 16:9 CCD imager, a crisp 4x Leica zoom lens, and a nimble optical stabilisation system. It's a portable for those serious about their photography Read more

Fujifilm FinePix S9500 Zoom review

Fujifilm's FinePix S9500 shows just how close digital SLR wannabes are getting to the real thing. This is one EVF-equipped camera that can compete in both the SLR and non-SLR arenas. It boasts a 10.7x optical zoom and 9 megapixels, but it can't quite compete with the real thing on image quality Read more
