Panasonic Lumix DMC-LZ1B review

Priced lower than its 5-megapixel Lumix DMC-LZ2 sibling, this affordable point-and-shoot offers the same 6x zoom lens with optical image stabilisation. Panasonic trimmed about a million pixels to create this 4-megapixel version, but its image quality is almost as good as the higher-res model's Read more

Nikon Coolpix 4600 review

Light on manual settings, the 4600 has several novice-friendly features to make up for it, including Blur Warning, D-lighting, and Best Shot Selector. Add its small size, solid construction and 3x optical zoom, and it's worth considering if you're a casual snapshot photographer on a tight budget Read more

Nikon Coolpix 4800 review

Outgrown your point-and-shoot compact? Not ready to commit to the expense and complication of a dSLR? The Coolpix 4800 could hold the answer. Its 8.3x digital zoom offers plenty of scope without making the whole thing too bulky, and the image quality is great for a 4-megapixel shooter Read more

Olympus IR-500 review

The IR-500 may be a limited digicam, with only a 4-megapixel sensor and a 2.8x optical zoom lens, but it presents its captured pictures and video on its lovely 64mm LCD in a bewildering variety of ways -- it has nine PowerPoint-like transition effects, including zoom, faders, swivels and Venetian blinds and sorted by shooting date as a visual diary Read more

Nikon Coolpix L4 review

The £90 Coolpix L4 is the least expensive of Nikon's low-end L-series line of digital cameras. The L4 has a small, 4-megapixel sensor, a 3x optical zoom lens and a handful of scene preset modes but few high-end settings. Though slow and not very versatile, it produces some pretty good pictures for its budget price Read more

Canon PowerShot A520 review

The PowerShot A510's grander sibling offers the full range of manual controls that photo enthusiasts require, plenty of scene modes, respectable zoom range, 4 megapixels and a very reasonable price tag Read more
