Casio Exilim EX-FS10 review
Judged solely as a stills camera, the 9-megapixel Exilim EX-FS10 is too expensive. But it's really all about capturing movement and action, and it does that remarkably well, thanks to some truly unique and startlingly effective high-speed shooting technology 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

Olympus mju Tough-6000 review
The 10-megapixel mju Tough-6000 is a perfectly normal-looking, pocket-sized compact that just happens to be able to survive extraordinary amounts of abuse. Happily, its rugged nature doesn't detract from its photo quality or practicality either, making the 6000 extremely difficult to dislike Read more

Fujifilm FinePix J12 review
Dispensing with all forms of gimmickry, the J12 is an elegant, straightforward, 8-megapixel compact digital camera that produces sharp and clear images. It's not perfect but, for the price, it's so good that it makes its rivals look stupid Read more

Canon PowerShot A495 review
The 10-megapixel PowerShot A495 is an affordable compact camera that offers good photos for the price. The biggest downside is its fairly slow shooting performance, but at this price you can't complain too much. It's very straightforward to use too Read more

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX10 review
The Lumix DMC-FX10 steps up to the plate with 6 megapixels, a 3x optical zoom lens and a 64mm LCD -- nothing to set the world on fire, but add in Panasonic's effective optical image stabilisation and a sub-£130 price, and you get a very good deal Read more

Say hello to the zippy, multi-coloured Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T2. Available in blue, pink and green, it will coordinate perfectly with your other kit. Plus, it's got plenty of get-up-and-go and is raring to start snapping. Slip one into your back pocket for your best colourful captures Read more

Fujifilm FinePix Z3 Zoom review
Any camera that shares a name with a sporty BMW touring car had better be good-looking, and the Fujifilm FinePix Z3 Zoom is certainly that. It may not be top of the class for resolution, but the feature set more than makes up for it, and the performance and image quality are both good, especially when shooting in dimly lit situations Read more

Casio Exilim EX-S10 review
It's slim, trim and perfect for pockets, but the Casio Exilim EX-S10 doesn't compromise features for size. Even standards like face detection and the flash have a number of extra options that are tweakable. Boasting a giant screen too, this camera is more than just a slender frame Read more
