Samsung ST50 review
The 12-megapixel ST50 super-slim camera has a real air of quality about it, thanks to a weighty stainless-steel body and high-quality LCD display. With its 'smart auto' mode, the camera can also take care of all the picture settings for you, if you fancy giving your brain a rest Read more

Pentax Optio E60 review
The Optio E60 is a relatively inexpensive ultra-compact that produces good pictures for a camera in its class. It's also extremely easy to use, thanks to large controls and a reliable auto mode. Limited features, however, mean the E60 isn't one for those who like to experiment Read more

Pentax Optio S6 review
Pentax's slimmest offering, the Optio S6, is a well-designed digital camera that will please casual shooters with its ease of use and build quality. Though some photo-quality shortcomings and sluggish shooting mar its overall value, it's a good choice for anyone looking for a pocketable camera that produces decent snapshots and looks great while doing it Read more

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T5 review
A built-in tripod mount, 32MB of internal memory, a longer-lasting battery, a more powerful flash and a lower price tag are among the reasons that Sony's Cyber-shot DSC-T5 is a more appealing camera than its older sibling, the T7. Sadly, it shares the T7's below-par image quality Read more

Casio Exilim EX-S12 review
If the 12-megapixel Exilim EX-S12 were any thinner, it'd be invisible. It's not just a looker though, as it also has more technological tricks up its sleeve than you'll ever have time to try. But those who want great image quality above all else might find they'd like to swap all the gadgetry for a better lens Read more

Kodak EasyShare M381 review
The 12.4-megapixel EasyShare M381 ultra-compact camera doesn't offer as many features as most other snappers in its price range, but its simplicity is part of its appeal. With a 5x zoom and a good auto mode, it's a decent choice for casual snapshooters on a budget Read more

Olympus u [mju:] 720 SW review
The Olympus mju 720 SW is the most hardy ยต to date. This ultracompact 7.1-megapixel camera is both shockproof and waterproof -- it can be safely dropped from heights up to 1.5m and is fully submersible up to 3m. Sleek, responsive and outfitted with image stabilisation, it makes a rugged and welcome travel companion Read more

Pentax Optio P70 review
The 12-megapixel Optio P70 boasts an exemplary ultra-compact design, has great features and offers relatively good pictures for the target audience -- those who want to step up from taking snaps with their phone. We wish it was speedier though, and its low-light shots aren't great Read more

Canon Digital IXUS i7 review
At 23mm thick and weighing only 122g, the IXUS i7 fits easily into almost any pocket, and it comes in a variety of pastel shades. It offers a 7-megapixel resolution, allows the use of 4GB and larger SD memory cards and has 2.4x optical zoom. Its grainy image quality and sluggish performance leave much to be desired, though Read more

If you want a cheap, simple and small digital camera, and you're happy to accept some compromise in terms of features and image quality, the Samsung ST30 is a pretty good option. Read more
