Pentax Optio S6 review

Pentax's slimmest offering, the Optio S6, is a well-designed digital camera that will please casual shooters with its ease of use and build quality. Though some photo-quality shortcomings and sluggish shooting mar its overall value, it's a good choice for anyone looking for a pocketable camera that produces decent snapshots and looks great while doing it Read more

Nikon Coolpix L6 review

Like the rest of Nikon's L series the L6 eschews features in favour of simplicity. This 6-megapixel camera with its 38mm-to-116mm 3x optical zoom lens does not let you select an ISO and its performance can be slow, but if you like the idea of fully automated shooting, it could be a good choice 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

Casio Exilim EX-Z600 review

Slide this little camera out of your pocket, and people are sure to go gaga over its large and bright LCD. In typical Casio Exilim fashion, the 6-megapixel EX-Z600 is slender, stylish, highly portable and easy to use -- even for beginners. And with its budget-range price, you can spend the extra cash on more presents for yourself Read more

Pentax Optio S5z review

The Optio S5z is a direct update of the smart little S5n, and is very similar -- except for the extra 13mm of LCD screen on the back. Other changes include a battery charger instead of the Optio S5n's docking station and a new Comment function that leaves a blank strip along the bottom of your photo Read more

Pentax Optio S50 review

Yet another entry into the increasingly crowded field of 5-megapixel snapshot cameras, the Pentax Optio S50 boasts more features than such form-over-function offerings as the Canon Digital Ixus 30, but lags slightly behind Pentax's own S5i for versatility. Read more

Nikon Coolpix S9 review

The Coolpix S9 is a 6-megapixel digital camera that really is ultracompact -- it's just 20mm thick and weighs only 116g. That it's so much less expensive than other ultracompacts is due to a squeeze on build quality and features -- fewer pixels in the LCD, only up to ISO 400 and no image stabilisation or manual exposure controls Read more

HP Photosmart M437 review

With one of the smallest price tags on the market, the HP Photosmart M437 looks like an appealing, simple little camera. Its 5-megapixel sensor and 51mm LCD won't turn many heads, but its skimpy £80 price will attract anyone looking for a budget snapper Read more

Olympus FE-180 review

Olympus's 6-megapixel FE-180 is a rare example of a camera with a well-built automatic system -- there are hardly any manual controls, but it still takes a decent image. Basically, the camera runs almost completely on autopilot. It's just the thing for a casual photographer on a budget Read more
