HP Photosmart R927 review
HP's Photosmart R927 comes with the assumption that the user knows nothing about photography. It might be the 8-megapixel flagship of the company's camera line, but with a menu and help system that's every bit as slick at its sculpted, brushed-aluminum casing, it doesn't require you to know anything to get started Read more

Pentax Q review
The Pentax Q is the smallest interchangeable lens camera around, and while it has a dinky appeal, it doesn't perform as well as its rivals. Read more

Canon Digital IXUS 970 IS review
When it comes to performance, you can't go wrong with a Canon. The Canon Digital IXUS 970 IS follows a long line of accurate and sharp point-and-shoot compacts. Adding a long 5x optical zoom, its speedy results are complemented by detailed, crisp images Read more

Nikon Coolpix S4 review
Resurrecting the swivel lens after nearly three years, the S4 comes in a compact package, with 6-megapixel resolution, a 10x zoom lens, a 64mm LCD, and Nikon's signature ease-of-use features. But a lack of manual controls makes this a poor choice for shooting indoors Read more

Canon IXUS 210 review
The 14.1-megapixel IXUS 210 offers a sophisticated design and a bevy of 'smart' technologies that mean you can concentrate on taking snaps instead of constantly reading the manual. Its 5x zoom is useful too, and its touchscreen interface is excellent Read more

Canon PowerShot SX200 IS review
The 12-megapixel PowerShot SX200 IS with 12x wideangle zoom is a very versatile do-it-all camera. It's great for learning about photography too, because it has decent manual controls in addition to idiot-proof automatic modes. Its picture quality won't blow your mind, but it's not at all bad Read more

Olympus SP-560 UZ review
We loved its predecessor and we love the Olympus SP-560 UZ even more. Keeping the comfortable design, this superzoom's whopping lens stands out as its most prominent feature. Plus, it's packed with plenty of useful, advanced options, all available at a low price Read more
