Best Compact Digital Cameras Reviews | Editors' Top-rated Compact Digital Cameras

Priced lower than its 5-megapixel Lumix DMC-LZ2 sibling, this affordable point-and-shoot offers the same 6x zoom lens with optical image stabilisation. Panasonic trimmed about a million pixels to create this 4-megapixel version, but its image quality is almost as good as the higher-res model's Read more

Kodak EasyShare Max Z990 review

Kodak's EasyShare Max Z990 delivers a long 30x zoom for very little money, but some colours weren't rendered as well as we'd have hoped. Read more

Fujifilm FinePix S2000HD review

The Fujifilm FinePix S2000HD is at the top of the line when it comes to superzooms, packing a 10-megapixel resolution screen and a 15x optical zoom. It's available now for around £220, and handles very well, with a chunky grip but a relatively compact feel. As with most Fujifilms, the controls are a bit fiddly, however Read more

Kodak EasyShare Z981 review

The Kodak EasyShare Z981 might be something of a plastic brick that delivers over-saturated images, but £240 for a camera with a 26x zoom is a bargain. Its price is the Z981's saving grace. Read more

Samsung NV40 review

Although there were some problems with purple fringing and image noise, the Samsung NV40's user interface is so good that we'd still recommend it. This 10.5-megapixel snapper's price is so close to the £100 mark that it'd be a crime not to consider it at least Read more

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-P200 review

This replacement for the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-P150 adds no significant capabilities to the skimpy feature set of its predecessor. It retains its position as one of the most compact 7-megapixel models, however, offering good performance, outstanding battery life and adequate photo quality Read more

Nikon Coolpix S610 review

It's hard to stand out from the crowd, especially since it's become easier to pack gadgets full of features these days. The compact Nikon Coolpix S610 is no exception with a 10-megapixel sensor, image stabilisation, a 4x wideangle zoom, face, smile and blink detection and a nifty automatic scene mode selection 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
