Casio Exilim EX-G1 review

The 12.1-megapixel Exilim EX-G1 is a solid first effort by Casio at making a rugged camera. Although its feature line-up and photo quality don't set any new standards for tough cameras, it's certainly capable of taking a good beating, and its appearance is distinctive Read more

Nikon Coolpix L20 review

The smart-looking, 10-megapixel Coolpix L20 is a budget compact camera that's easy to handle and straightforward to use. All but very beginners will find the omission of ISO adjustment options baffling, but, otherwise, it's a simple, sturdy, practical camera that takes decent pictures Read more

Olympus mju Tough-6010 review

Ernest Shackleton would probably have been mightily taken with the shockproof, waterproof and freezeproof mju Tough-6010. Its picture quality isn't going to blow anybody's mind, but it looks smart, offers good value for money, and can withstand a fair degree of punishment 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

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 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

Canon PowerShot A480 review

Considering how cheap it is, the 10-megapixel PowerShot A480 takes good photos. In fact, you'd be hard-pressed to better them at this price point. You should look elsewhere if you're after anything besides basic snapshots, but, otherwise, this small, attractive and fuss-free snapper delivers the goods 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
