Casio Exilim EX-Z70 review

This ultracompact 7-megapixel digital camera from Casio powers up in just 1.2 seconds and can take a shot every 1.3 seconds. A Quick Shot mode lets you snap off shots even more rapidly by foregoing focusing, but you may suffer some loss of image quality Read more

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T99 review

If looking stylish while taking photos is as important to you as capturing good-looking images, the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T99 will probably appeal, but there are much better compact cameras available for the price. Read more

Nikon Coolpix S8000 review

The 14.2-megapixel Coolpix S8000 superzoom packs a 10x zoom into a compact body at a reasonable price. Its image quality isn't the best we've ever clapped eyes on, but it is straightforward to use, fast and responsive. It also offers a particularly good LCD display on the back Read more

Pentax Optio I-10 review

The 12.1-megapixel Optio I-10 is a handsome compact camera, with real retro appeal. Its picture quality isn't going to make anyone's head explode, but it offers a 5x wide-angle zoom, plenty of features to play around with, and the ability to shoot 720p movies Read more

Nikon Coolpix L20 review

The smart-looking, 10-megapixel Coolpix L20 is a budget compact camera that's easy to handle and straightforward to use. All but very beginners will find the omission of ISO adjustment options baffling, but, otherwise, it's a simple, sturdy, practical camera that takes decent pictures 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

Olympus FE-240 review

The attractive, compact Olympus FE-240 makes life a lot simpler by automating almost all of its settings. Its images are actually reasonably good, with accurate colours and very little lens distortion, but it is exceedingly slow Read more

Fujifilm FinePix S1500 review

The 10-megapixel FinePix S1500 is relatively inexpensive for a superzoom, so it's all the more surprising that its build quality and finish are so good. Its picture quality won't blow anyone's mind, but a solid set of manual controls means it's well-suited to cost-conscious beginner photographers Read more

Kodak EasyShare ZD710 review

The Kodak EasyShare ZD710 is a well-designed superzoom with a relatively small size and price alike. It certainly presents a step up over most compacts in terms of manual control. As a first camera for would-be enthusiasts, the simplicity of operation is a bonus Read more
