Nikon Coolpix S3000 review
The 12-megapixel Coolpix S3000 is a good little compact camera for a budget price. If you want cutting-edge tech, look elsewhere, but, if you want a pocket-friendly snapper that's easy to use, attractive and capable of taking decent photos, it may well fit the bill. Its 4x wide-angle zoom is handy too Read more

Sigma DP2s review
The DP2s is a compact camera with a big sensor, a minimum of controls and a distinct lack of bells and whistles. If you're an experienced photographer who wants a camera that does what you tell it to and takes great pictures, you should check it out Read more

Fujifilm FinePix Z700EXR review
The FinePix Z700EXR offers good value for money, packing in a 12-megapixel sensor, a 5x optical zoom and a touchscreen interface. While Fujifilm's EXR high-sensitivity and high-dynamic-range modes aren't as impressive as they once were, it's still a decent snapper Read more

Canon PowerShot SX210 IS review
The PowerShot SX210 IS isn't exactly strong on innovation, but it packs an impressive set of specs, including a class-leading 14x zoom and 14.1-megapixel resolution. As with most compact cameras, you won't get top-notch picture quality, but this camera does put plenty of power in your pocket Read more

Fujifilm FinePix S1500 review
The 10-megapixel FinePix S1500 is relatively inexpensive for a superzoom, so it's all the more surprising that its build quality and finish are so good. Its picture quality won't blow anyone's mind, but a solid set of manual controls means it's well-suited to cost-conscious beginner photographers Read more

BenQ DC E1000 review
With its minimalist charm and plenty of features, the BenQ DC E1000 is a diamond in the rough. Its screen is truly enormous at 76mm (3 inches), and the camera features a 3x optical zoom, face detection and shutter and aperture priority. This compact is definitely a great find Read more

Kodak EasyShare Z8612 IS review
The Kodak EasyShare Z8612 IS fits a superzoom lens on to a compact body. A slick, contemporary design complements its svelte profile, but it still manages to hold a 12x zoom. Optical image stabilisation is on board, as are manual controls, making this shooter easy to handle Read more

Nikon Coolpix S210 review
The Nikon Coolpix S210 does exactly what it says on the tin. It's small and compact; it won't leave you with an emptied wallet; and it takes decent pictures. Start shooting and you'll find it focuses quickly and your shots come out with well-balanced colours Read more

Casio Exilim EX-Z19 review
The Casio Exilim EX-Z19 is head-and-shoulders above most of the cameras in the sub-£100 bargain basement, thanks to excellent build quality, a wealth of tweakable shooting options and decent images. It may be short on specs, features and low-light performance, but for that price you can't go wrong Read more
