Fujifilm FinePix F650 review

For shutterbugs who want both a camera they can control and that can also fit in a pocket, Fujifilm's 6-megapixel FinePix F650 walks the line well between function and convenience. It comes with a 5x optical zoom lens and a 76mm LCD screen, and while it doesn't include any gimmicky features, it does have full manual-exposure controls 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

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

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

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

Olympus IR-300 review

The 5-megapixel IR-300 is a very compact, pocketable camera that aims to be simple and accessible. It's attractive and sensibly designed, but the smallish LCD, complicated menus, low-resolution 320x240-pixel movie mode and occasional problems with colour fidelity make it difficult to recommend 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

Fujifilm FinePix F470 review

Just 20mm thin and very light, the F470 has a good, sunlight-friendly 64mm LCD but little else to recommend it -- its mundane features and mediocre image quality hamper its appeal, but if you don't need high ISO, it offers better value for money than other Fujifilm cameras Read more

Panasonic Lumix DMC-LZ5 review

The modest Panasonic Lumix DMC-LZ5 tops Panasonic's midrange line of compact, 6x-zoom snapshot cameras. It incorporates a 37mm-to-222mm Leica lens, optical image stabilisation and numerous ways to control image capture, though it lacks manual exposure modes Read more
