Casio Exilim EX-Z70 review
This ultracompact 7-megapixel digital camera from Casio powers up in just 1.2 seconds and can take a shot every 1.3 seconds. A Quick Shot mode lets you snap off shots even more rapidly by foregoing focusing, but you may suffer some loss of image quality Read more

Olympus FE-240 review
The attractive, compact Olympus FE-240 makes life a lot simpler by automating almost all of its settings. Its images are actually reasonably good, with accurate colours and very little lens distortion, but it is exceedingly slow Read more

HP Photosmart R847 review
With its sliding lens cover, the HP Photosmart R847 reveals a great lens and a sturdy body that can take pictures up to ISO 1,600. You can also change sensitivity and even tweak your photos while they're in the camera, or just keep things automatic. After all, this is a camera designed to be easy to use Read more

Nikon Coolpix L4 review
The £90 Coolpix L4 is the least expensive of Nikon's low-end L-series line of digital cameras. The L4 has a small, 4-megapixel sensor, a 3x optical zoom lens and a handful of scene preset modes but few high-end settings. Though slow and not very versatile, it produces some pretty good pictures for its budget price Read more

Olympus u [mju:] 730 review
The Olympus mju 730 is a pretty camera with some impressive design aspects -- it has a slim, rectangular metal body with several striking characteristics that set it apart from other style-minded snapshot cameras -- however slow performance and image problems let it down somewhat Read more

Nikon Coolpix L3 review
The Nikon Coolpix L3 is the midrange member of Nikon's simple, inexpensive L-series digital cameras. The 5-megapixel camera sports a 3x optical zoom lens, a handful of useful scene modes and a small price tag -- and this little shooter produces good-looking images for the price Read more

Olympus SP-560 UZ review
We loved its predecessor and we love the Olympus SP-560 UZ even more. Keeping the comfortable design, this superzoom's whopping lens stands out as its most prominent feature. Plus, it's packed with plenty of useful, advanced options, all available at a low price 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
