Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ38 review
You might think the 12.1-megapixel Lumix DMC-FZ38 superzoom would be exorbitantly expensive, given its 18x zoom, super-fast autofocus, support for raw files, and high-definition movie mode. But it's not. It's one of the best superzooms available, and one of the cheapest too Read more

Canon PowerShot S90 review
The 10-megapixel PowerShot S90 is brilliant. At last, we have a compact camera that really does have dSLR-style features, really does approach dSLR image quality and really will fit in your pocket. As well as offering a straightforward interface, it's extremely well-built and elegant to boot Read more

Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ6 review
The 10.1-megapixel Lumix DMC-TZ6, with a super-wideangle 12x zoom, is a really rather special compact camera. Other cameras may be smaller, cheaper or offer more manual control, but excellent picture quality, a superb build and finish, and fantastic versatility mean the TZ6 is difficult to beat Read more

Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ10 review
The 12.1-megapixel Lumix DMC-TZ10 is probably the world's best superzoom, improving on its excellent predecessors by adding GPS and manual exposure modes. Panasonic's array of 'intelligent' image-processing technologies is tiresome, but this is a seriously impressive photographic tool Read more

Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ7 review
The Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ7 superzoom combines a 12x zoom and 25mm-equivalent wide-angle lens with 720p video recording to create an excellent follow-up to the earlier TZ6 model. This 'hybrid' camera produces superb images, but does it come out on top in the sibling rivalry? Read more

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-TX5 review
The 10.2-megapixel Cyber-shot DSC-TX5 super-slim camera doesn't look particularly rugged, but it can take a fair old beating. It's also versatile and packed with useful and clever features, while its image quality isn't bad either. In a crowded marketplace, it really stands out Read more

Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ8 review
Panasonic has two superzooms: the movie-oriented TZ10 and this, the everyday shooting TZ8, which is much cheaper. The thing is, the TZ8 is very nearly as good as the fantastic TZ10, making very few concessions. But which is better value for money? Read more

Ricoh GX200 review
The GX200's 69mm LCD screen packs in an amazing 460,000 pixels, twice the resolution of most -- and that's just one example of the top-end features this camera has despite its small size. Its focal length is also wider than usual, meaning it'll be good if you're into landscape and travel photography Read more

Casio Exilim EX-FH100 review
The 10.1-megapixel Exilim EX-FH100 is a compact superzoom with a twist. As well as a 10x zoom range, it can shoot photos at up to 40 frames per second and movies at up to 1,000fps. That makes it a good choice if you're in the habit of shooting action scenes Read more

Sony NEX-3 review
The 14.2-megapixel NEX-3 is a good option for those seeking a compact camera with interchangeable lenses. It's about £100 cheaper than its big brother, the NEX-5, but there are no serious compromises, and it will probably suit novice shooters well Read more
