Nikon Coolpix P1 review
The P2 delivers good image quality and a familiar Nikon interface, but its Wi-Fi capabilities are not up to much -- you can't email or Web-post pics, only transfer them to a nearby computer or printer, which is quicker over USB anyway Read more

Olympus u [mju:] Digital 800 review
With 8 megapixels, aperture- and shutter-priority exposure controls and a top-notch built-in help guide, the compact, 3x-zoom mju Digital 800 sits solidly at the top of Olympus' weather-resistant-camera lineup. It's also one of the smallest and most affordable 8-megapixel cameras on the market Read more

Olympus u [mju:] 1000 review
The sleek but sturdy Olympus mju 1000 offers high-resolution images, a water-resistant metal body and a 64mm screen. This compact has some nice features and picture quality can be good, but noise issues and slow performance could mean poorer photos in low light Read more

Kodak EasyShare V1273 review
With an all-steel casing, the 12-megapixel Kodak EasyShare V1273 is one of the best-looking, well-built compact cameras on the market. It has a larger than normal touchscreen LCD, and it produces bright and colourful photos, which cope well with high ISOs Read more

Casio Exilim EX-Z19 review
The Casio Exilim EX-Z19 is head-and-shoulders above most of the cameras in the sub-£100 bargain basement, thanks to excellent build quality, a wealth of tweakable shooting options and decent images. It may be short on specs, features and low-light performance, but for that price you can't go wrong Read more

HP Photosmart R847 review
With its sliding lens cover, the HP Photosmart R847 reveals a great lens and a sturdy body that can take pictures up to ISO 1,600. You can also change sensitivity and even tweak your photos while they're in the camera, or just keep things automatic. After all, this is a camera designed to be easy to use Read more

Kodak EasyShare C643 review
The step-up model from the EasyShare C533, the equally basic Kodak EasyShare C643 sports a 3x optical zoom lens, a 61mm LCD screen and a 6-megapixel CCD. It also finds room on its body for an optical viewfinder, very useful in bright light situations, but it is let down considerably by its image quality Read more

Casio Exilim EX-Z60 review
With its slim, metal body and rounded edges, the 6-megapixel Casio Exilim EX-Z60 looks more like a slightly oversized high-tech business-card case than a camera. It boasts enough style to impress a fashionista, adequate speed to please football mums, and sufficient features to keep a tweaker happy Read more

Olympus SP-350 review
The smart-looking Olympus SP-350 is not only one of the most affordable 8-megapixel cameras on the market but also one of the smallest. Its 24 scene modes will appeal to casual photographers, while enthusiasts will appreciate a range of more sophisticated features Read more

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W50 review
The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W50 is a decent 6-megapixel ultracompact digital camera that makes up for its lack of controls with solid performance and image quality. Its compact form and easy operation make it an attractive offering for those wanting a camera they can keep on them at all times Read more
