Pentax Optio S55 review
The Pentax Optio S55, an ultracompact model with a 3x optical zoom, is tailored slightly more toward the novice than the company's popular S5z. It offers a 64mm LCD and point-and-shoot simplicity Read more

Fujifilm FinePix F470 review
Just 20mm thin and very light, the F470 has a good, sunlight-friendly 64mm LCD but little else to recommend it -- its mundane features and mediocre image quality hamper its appeal, but if you don't need high ISO, it offers better value for money than other Fujifilm cameras Read more

Casio Exilim EX-Z700 review
Performance and size make the ultracompact Exilim EX-Z700 great for quick snapshots. The comfortable, well-built camera powers up in just 1.2 seconds and can take a shot every 1.5 seconds thereafter. Colours and fine details are reproduced well, but some distortion was observed on the extreme left of photos during testing 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

Nikon Coolpix L10 review
The Nikon Coolpix L10 comes from a family of rock-bottom budget cameras, but they don't skim on performance. The L10 did well in our tests, both in shooting time and in keeping the noise levels under control. While this isn't a camera with lots of frills, it does its family proud as a simple point-and-shoot 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

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
