The Canon PowerShot G12 is a high-performance compact camera that will appeal to dSLR owners seeking a portable back-up snapper. Overall, it's a quality package. Read more

Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX5 review

The 10.1-megapixel Lumix DMC-LX5 is a compact and feature-packed camera that would make a good choice as a back-up for a digital SLR. The lack of a flash adjustment is a strange omission in a camera of this type, but it's worth a look if you need plenty of power in your pocket Read more

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ45 review

Despite a few shortcomings, the FZ45 superzoom offers excellent value. It resembles a dSLR put on a hot wash, but it's easier to use and packed full of the latest must-have features. It feels like we've seen much of what's on offer here before, however. Read more

Pentax X90 review

The Pentax X90 is an easy-to-use superzoom that offers decent picture quality and plenty of features. It's good value for money too, although it does feel rather plasticky. Read more

Ricoh G700 review

The Ricoh G700 compact camera is undeniably rugged, but its high cost and unimpressive picture quality mean it won't be worth buying for the vast majority of people. Read more
