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

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-TX1 review
Although its photos are fairly ordinary, the 10.2-megapixel Cyber-shot DSC-TX1 is a very impressive fusion of style and technology. Among the clever features up its super-slim sleeve are its full-resolution high-speed shooting, excellent low-light mode and touchscreen interface Read more

Nikon Coolpix S630 review
The smart-looking, 12-megapixel Coolpix S630 is a technically advanced compact camera with a 7x optical zoom. Offering decent picture quality and surprisingly good definition at low ISOs, it's also very beginner-friendly, although there's plenty of features to get to grips with if you want to Read more

Samsung i85 review
Samsung thinks we don't just want a camera but an MP3 player, movie player, world tour guide and storage device all rolled into one. The i85 is the result: a stylish 8-megapixel compact with a 5x zoom and enough features to keep you entertained on the plane and informed when you get to where you're going 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

Fujifilm FinePix Real 3D W1 review
Fujifilm deserves a substantial pat on the back for creating the FinePix Real 3D W1. Not only does it function as a normal compact camera, but it can also use its two lenses to produce strikingly effective 3D images. This snapper's not without its downsides, but it's capable of some impressive results 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

Samsung WB5000 review
Samsung's plunged into the superzoom pool with the 12.5-megapixel WB5000. With a 24x zoom, manual controls and the ability to shoot raw files, it's a versatile beast to be sure. It also has an excellent LCD display, and is straightforward to use, although its rendering of fine detail could be better Read more

Ricoh CX3 review
The 10-megapixel CX3 is no ordinary compact superzoom -- it's packed with features aimed at true photo enthusiasts, rather than casual snapshooters. Its picture quality is limited by its small sensor, but its 10.7x zoom range is great, its LCD display is excellent and its 10mm macro mode is fantastic Read more

Nikon Coolpix S8000 review
The 14.2-megapixel Coolpix S8000 superzoom packs a 10x zoom into a compact body at a reasonable price. Its image quality isn't the best we've ever clapped eyes on, but it is straightforward to use, fast and responsive. It also offers a particularly good LCD display on the back Read more
