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

Olympus u [mju:] Digital 500 review

Weatherproofed with special rubberised seals, the Olympus mju Digital 500's compact metal body will resist the elements that often put a damper on outdoor picture taking. 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

Canon PowerShot A530 review

Though the A530 is a modest 5-megapixel step down from its 6-megapixel sibling, the A540, it still has almost all of the same handy features and produces very pretty images in well-lit environments. Unfortunately, it lacks the zippy performance and large LCD that help elevate the A540 above the crowd Read more

Nikon Coolpix L10 review

The Nikon Coolpix L10 comes from a family of rock-bottom budget cameras, but they don't skim on performance. The L10 did well in our tests, both in shooting time and in keeping the noise levels under control. While this isn't a camera with lots of frills, it does its family proud as a simple point-and-shoot Read more

Nikon Coolpix L2 review

The 6-megapixel Nikon Coolpix L2 offers only the bare necessities for picture taking but, for its class, delivers excellent photos that require minimal effort. The Coolpix L2 squarely targets casual photographers though, and more experienced users may be frustrated by the camera's lack of controls Read more

Kodak EasyShare C533 review

The Kodak EasyShare C533 is a basic budget camera that doesn't pretend to be otherwise. This 5-megapixel point-and-shoot produces decent photos and responds quickly, but its flimsy-feeling build quality, 46mm LCD screen and minimalist feature set keep the C533 firmly in the bargain bin Read more

Pentax Optio W10 review

This postman-worthy camera is specially sealed to prevent damage from the elements, completely submersible in water to a depth of 1.5m for up to 30 minutes, and impenetrable to dust particles as fine as talcum powder. Sadly, it suffers from a dim display, mediocre performance and serious image artefacting Read more

Panasonic Lumix DMC-LZ3 review

The DMC-LZ3 features a 5-megapixel resolution, 6x optical zoom, optical image stabilisation and numerous ways to control image capture. It fares moderately well in bright environments, but poor performance and average photo quality lessen the allure of this attractively priced model Read more
