Pentax Optio A40 review

Pentax Optio A40 review

We associate Pentax compacts with cheery, child-like styling, but the top-of-the-range Optio A40 is striving to be taken rather more seriously. Optical image stabilisation, a 12-megapixel resolution, fast performance and excellent image quality all bolster its case -- it's still cute, though Read more

Nikon Coolpix P50 review

The Nikon Coolpix P50 has an old-fashioned, boxy feel with a helpful chunky grip. It's a solidly built, easy-to-use, nuts-and-bolts kind of camera. It offers a surprisingly high degree of control over image settings, and as a result its photos are excellent quality for the price Read more

Kodak EasyShare V1273 review

With an all-steel casing, the 12-megapixel Kodak EasyShare V1273 is one of the best-looking, well-built compact cameras on the market. It has a larger than normal touchscreen LCD, and it produces bright and colourful photos, which cope well with high ISOs Read more

Casio Exilim EX-Z19 review

The Casio Exilim EX-Z19 is head-and-shoulders above most of the cameras in the sub-£100 bargain basement, thanks to excellent build quality, a wealth of tweakable shooting options and decent images. It may be short on specs, features and low-light performance, but for that price you can't go wrong 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

Kodak EasyShare V1253 review

The Kodak EasyShare V1253 is one of the slimmer and simpler 12-megapixel compacts on the market. It has the ability to shoot 720p HD movies, and while it lacks optical image stabilisation, it has 23 scene modes that produce well-saturated colours and pleasing pictures for most snapshooters Read more

Casio Exilim Zoom EX-Z1050 review

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

Nikon Coolpix L22 review

The compact, 12-megapixel Coolpix L22 with 3.6x zoom proves that budget cameras really can be good. Its lack of manual ISO control is a strange omission, but it's well made, simple to use and capable of taking some impressive photos, such as you might expect from a camera of twice the price Read more

Nikon Coolpix S52c review

We've often wondered why cameras don't come equipped with wireless transfer as standard, especially as Bluetooth and, increasingly, Wi-Fi are ubiquitous in mobile phones. The Nikon Coolpix S52c bucks this trend -- it's a 9-megapixel snapper that allows for wireless email, upload and back-up of images Read more
