Pentax Optio I-10 review
The 12.1-megapixel Optio I-10 is a handsome compact camera, with real retro appeal. Its picture quality isn't going to make anyone's head explode, but it offers a 5x wide-angle zoom, plenty of features to play around with, and the ability to shoot 720p movies Read more

Fujifilm FinePix Z33WP review
We can't help but like the 10-megapixel Fujifilm FinePix Z33WP, even though it's not without its faults. It looks so neat and appealing that its comparatively low price comes as a surprise, and it's waterproof up to 3m, making it a good choice for casual snappers looking for a camera to take on holiday Read more

Canon PowerShot SX200 IS review
The 12-megapixel PowerShot SX200 IS with 12x wideangle zoom is a very versatile do-it-all camera. It's great for learning about photography too, because it has decent manual controls in addition to idiot-proof automatic modes. Its picture quality won't blow your mind, but it's not at all bad Read more

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

Samsung PL150 review
The 12.4-megapixel PL150 has a front-mounted screen that comes in very handy when shooting self-portraits and group shots, and filming yourself speaking as part of a pompous video diary. Its picture quality deteriorates at full zoom, but otherwise it's good, and the camera feels well-made Read more

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX550 review
The 12.1-megapixel Lumix DMC-FX550 compact camera offers a surprising amount of manual control and oozes hi-tech features, including a touchscreen interface and 5x super-wide zoom. It's also capable of shooting decent pictures, and offers decent value for money 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

Casio Exilim EX-Z2000 review
The 14.1-megapixel Exilim EX-Z2000 is a competent compact camera. Its build quality is good, its 5x wide-angle zoom is handy, and its pictures are bright, colourful and crisp. Also, considering how many features it packs in, its price is surprisingly low Read more

Pentax Optio W80 review
The rugged, 12-megapixel Optio W80 is an attractive little beast that can withstand a good deal of physical punishment. It's over-reliant on its menu system, but it's a versatile snapper, offering a 5x wideangle zoom, a high-def movie mode and a sensitivity range that goes all the way up to ISO 6,400 Read more

Nikon Coolpix L19 review
The inexpensive, 8-megapixel Coolpix L19 is an unpretentious and sturdy compact camera that's well suited to the rough and tumble of family use. The resolution is modest and you get very little manual control, but, in a perverse kind of way, it's a very likeable camera Read more
