Canon PowerShot SX30 IS review
Canon's attempt to trump all comers in the superzoom market with the PowerShot SX30 IS and its 35x optical zoom is largely successful, although it suffers from inherent compromises and the same plasticky build that plagues its predecessors. 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

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX37 review
The Panasonic FX37 may just look like a normal digital camera, but its compact body is full of impressive features, most notably the 5x optical wideangle zoom lens and the Intelligent ISO system, which combine to turn out high-quality images. It's one of the smartest cameras on the market Read more

Samsung NX100 review
The Samsung NX100 offers the straightforward operation of a compact camera while adding a larger, dSLR-size sensor, and the ability to swap lenses. The end result is largely a success. Read more

Ricoh Caplio R7 review
The Ricoh Caplio R7 is a camera that takes charge. Available in orange, silver and black flavours, this camera boasts a mini joystick plus the standard clickpad to navigate settings. Changing the white balance and exposure has never been easier and that certainly shows a bit of design gumption Read more

Fujifilm FinePix S200EXR review
The 12-megapixel FinePix S200EXR offers the features, controls and handling of a digital SLR at a much lower price, and its EXR sensor technology means it outguns its superzoom rivals. We'd like to see the clever EXR features better integrated with the rest of the camera's controls, though Read more

Canon PowerShot G9 review
Look again -- it's not the G7 all over again but the updated Canon PowerShot G9. Although it strikes a similar pose to the G7, it's more than just a pretty face. The G9 has improved photo quality and restored RAW format support while maintaining excellent performance. Old is new again 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

The Samsung WB850F's a superzoom compact with punchy output and built-in GPS and Wi-Fi. It's a travel photographer's camera that has it all. Read more
