Olympus u [mju:] 1000 review

The sleek but sturdy Olympus mju 1000 offers high-resolution images, a water-resistant metal body and a 64mm screen. This compact has some nice features and picture quality can be good, but noise issues and slow performance could mean poorer photos in low light Read more

Kodak EasyShare Z885 review

With plenty of manual controls and a nice, 5x lens, the 8-megapixel Kodak EasyShare Z885 offers a lot of bang for its relatively low price 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

Kodak EasyShare C643 review

The step-up model from the EasyShare C533, the equally basic Kodak EasyShare C643 sports a 3x optical zoom lens, a 61mm LCD screen and a 6-megapixel CCD. It also finds room on its body for an optical viewfinder, very useful in bright light situations, but it is let down considerably by its image quality Read more

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W50 review

The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W50 is a decent 6-megapixel ultracompact digital camera that makes up for its lack of controls with solid performance and image quality. Its compact form and easy operation make it an attractive offering for those wanting a camera they can keep on them at all times Read more

HP Photosmart R937 review

The HP Photosmart R937 looks rather odd: the lens sits right in the middle of its matte-black shell. Strangely, its unique design makes it one of the more pleasant compact cameras on the market. Behind its abnormal exterior is an 8-megapixel camera with a touchscreen menu and loads of options Read more

Canon PowerShot A530 review

Though the A530 is a modest 5-megapixel step down from its 6-megapixel sibling, the A540, it still has almost all of the same handy features and produces very pretty images in well-lit environments. Unfortunately, it lacks the zippy performance and large LCD that help elevate the A540 above the crowd Read more

Olympus FE-240 review

The attractive, compact Olympus FE-240 makes life a lot simpler by automating almost all of its settings. Its images are actually reasonably good, with accurate colours and very little lens distortion, but it is exceedingly slow Read more

Samsung S1050 review

Just like the S850, the Samsung S1050 offers several features for more experienced photographers, with exposure controls that grant a great deal of flexibility. It also includes face-tracking autofocus and a huge 76mm (3-inch) LCD. With its 10 megapixels, the S1050 is certainly a more mature option Read more

Fujifilm FinePix A600 review

The compact 6-megapixel A600 delivers decent photos for around £100. Some will like this archetypal budget snapshot camera -- a point-and-shoot with a simple feature set -- but others could be put off by the bulky design and limited control Read more
