Olympus FE-300 review

The Olympus FE-300 is one of the lightest, least-expensive 12-megapixel compact cameras. Despite its small size, its controls are easily accessible and comfortable. Plus, it includes Perfect Shot Preview, which helps you take a shot without much trial and error. Sounds perfect Read more

Nikon Coolpix L3 review

The Nikon Coolpix L3 is the midrange member of Nikon's simple, inexpensive L-series digital cameras. The 5-megapixel camera sports a 3x optical zoom lens, a handful of useful scene modes and a small price tag -- and this little shooter produces good-looking images for the price Read more

Olympus SP-320 review

With Olympus's 7-megapixel models, the SP-320 and the SP-310, the company caters to the casual photographer who wants a camera with more manual options than are offered by entry-level point-and-shoot models. The only difference between the two is the digital image stabilisation available on the Olympus SP-320 Read more

The Nikon Coolpix L12 is a 7-megapixel budget camera that boasts two high-end features with optical Vibration Reduction that shifts the camera's 35-105mm equivalent lens to reduce shake.

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.

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

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

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

Olympus FE-180 review

Olympus's 6-megapixel FE-180 is a rare example of a camera with a well-built automatic system -- there are hardly any manual controls, but it still takes a decent image. Basically, the camera runs almost completely on autopilot. It's just the thing for a casual photographer on a budget Read more

The Casio Exilim Zoom EX-Z1050 has a 10-megapixel sensor, 3x zoom lens and 66mm LCD screen. It's easy to use and produces photos that are neutral in colour and mostly free of artefacts. It encounters few problems with noise, even at ISO 800 Read more
