Pentax Optio WP review

Waterproof to a depth of 1.5m, this compact, 5-megapixel point-and-shoot camera is ideal for snorkelling, swimming and other aquatic fun. A few performance issues aside, the slim Pentax Optio WP delivers plenty of user-friendly features and perfectly acceptable snapshot image quality Read more

Casio Exilim Card EX-S500 review

The latest in Casio's superslim line of card cameras, the 5-megapixel Exilim EX-S500 offers a 3x optical zoom and lots of features such as a burst mode, MPEG-4 video capture, and the ever-important AF illuminator. Its photo quality doesn't distinguish it, but if you're not too picky, it's definitely worth a look Read more

Nikon Coolpix 7600 review

This 7-megapixel, 3x optical-zoom model squarely targets the snapshot set, but it delivers where it really counts: helpful features and very good picture quality Read more

Pentax Optio W10 review

This postman-worthy camera is specially sealed to prevent damage from the elements, completely submersible in water to a depth of 1.5m for up to 30 minutes, and impenetrable to dust particles as fine as talcum powder. Sadly, it suffers from a dim display, mediocre performance and serious image artefacting Read more

Olympus u [mju:] Digital 800 review

With 8 megapixels, aperture- and shutter-priority exposure controls and a top-notch built-in help guide, the compact, 3x-zoom mju Digital 800 sits solidly at the top of Olympus' weather-resistant-camera lineup. It's also one of the smallest and most affordable 8-megapixel cameras on the market 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

Kodak EasyShare V550 review

With its ice-blue indicator lights and flying-saucer-shaped dock, the 5-megapixel Kodak EasyShare V550 brings some UFO style to Kodak's point-and-shoot cameras. Equipped with friendly features, a 64mm LCD and 3x optical zoom, the V550 will appeal to those who want portability and simplicity wrapped in an attractive package Read more

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T5 review

A built-in tripod mount, 32MB of internal memory, a longer-lasting battery, a more powerful flash and a lower price tag are among the reasons that Sony's Cyber-shot DSC-T5 is a more appealing camera than its older sibling, the T7. Sadly, it shares the T7's below-par image quality Read more

Olympus SP-350 review

The smart-looking Olympus SP-350 is not only one of the most affordable 8-megapixel cameras on the market but also one of the smallest. Its 24 scene modes will appeal to casual photographers, while enthusiasts will appreciate a range of more sophisticated features Read more
