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

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-S600 review

With 35 scene modes that cover every picture-taking situation, plus a user-definable scene mode, the EX-S600 puts the brains back into no-brainer snapshooting. Unfortunately, these assets are outweighed by its limited 3x zoom range and mediocre photo quality 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

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

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

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

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
