Canon IXUS 1000 HS review

The Canon IXUS 1000 HS is another competent entry in the long-zooming compact-camera arena. There's little that lifts the 1000 above its ever-swelling pack of rivals, however. Read more

Olympus SP-620UZ review

A long zoom in a beefy body at a low price. This £160 Olympus SP-620UZ has impressive specs that will help it achieve impressive results. 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

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FT5 review

The Lumix DMC-FT5 is a truly rugged compact camera that's happy being dropped, drowned and frozen. Read more

Samsung WB2000 review

The Samsung WB2000 may resemble just another point-and-shoot compact camera at first glance, but its AMOLED screen, fast writing speeds, intuitive operation, raw-file support and rugged build quality mark it out as slightly more than run of the mill. Read more

Samsung EX-1 review

The Samsung's strength is its combination of features, performance and value for money. It's not the best-handling high-end compact, but it does the job. The question is: do cameras like this have a future when they're up against a new generation of big-sensor hybrids? Read more

Nikon 1 V1 review

With compact lenses and a sturdy body, the Nikon 1 V1 should last you a lifetime. That's just as well as it doesn't come cheap. Read more
