Nikon Coolpix L11 review

Some budget digital cameras offer surprisingly good picture quality for very little money, such as the Nikon Coolpix L11, a simple, easy-to-use 6-megapixel point-and-shoot that produces very acceptable pictures for under £100 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

GoPro Motorsports Hero Wide review

The Motorsports Hero Wide vehicle-mounted digital-camera system offers reasonable video-recording capability and picture quality for a decent price. Remarkably easy to use, this robust system is a great way to record your high-speed high jinks, but consumes batteries at a rapid rate 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

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

Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ1 review

Panasonic's 5-megapixel Lumix DMC-TZ1 has a big 10x zoom, an ergonomically pleasing design and some cool features. It suffers somewhat from image-quality and a lack of manual controls that may well frustrate keen photographers, but casual photographers will appreciate its long lens and compact frame 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 S55 review

The Pentax Optio S55, an ultracompact model with a 3x optical zoom, is tailored slightly more toward the novice than the company's popular S5z. It offers a 64mm LCD and point-and-shoot simplicity 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
