Canon PowerShot S90 review
The 10-megapixel PowerShot S90 is brilliant. At last, we have a compact camera that really does have dSLR-style features, really does approach dSLR image quality and really will fit in your pocket. As well as offering a straightforward interface, it's extremely well-built and elegant to boot Read more

Olympus mju Tough-8000 review
If you're looking for a compact camera that can withstand extraordinary levels of abuse, you might want to check out the mju Tough-8000, particularly as it also functions perfectly well as an everyday camera. The lens could be sharper but, otherwise, you have to look pretty hard to find any flaws with this beast Read more

Canon PowerShot S95 review
The Canon PowerShot S95 is a high-performance snapshot camera that doesn't claim to be an alternative to a dSLR, but costs almost as much. You're paying for a smaller form factor, solid feature set and equally solid build. Read more

Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX5 review
The 10.1-megapixel Lumix DMC-LX5 is a compact and feature-packed camera that would make a good choice as a back-up for a digital SLR. The lack of a flash adjustment is a strange omission in a camera of this type, but it's worth a look if you need plenty of power in your pocket Read more
