Casio Exilim Zoom EX-Z1200 review

The Casio Exilim Zoom EX-Z1200 is the first compact to boast an image resolution of 12 megapixels, and this heavyweight pixel count, a gigantic 71mm screen and a host of extra features are all housed in a package no bigger than most other compacts 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

Canon Digital IXUS 85 IS review

You shouldn't be afraid to take the Canon Digital IXUS 85 IS home to your parents. Despite its old-fashioned LCD display size, the specification is certainly up to scratch, boasting 10 megapixels, face detection and image stabilisation. It's an affordable option with luxurious looks 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

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

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

Fujifilm FinePix F50fd review

The Fujifilm FinePix F50fd is a high-end, premium compact digital camera: 12-megapixel sensor, mechanical image stabilisation, 69mm high-resolution screen and a top-notch face-detection system. It's worth the premium, with a barrel of features and excellent images Read more

Samsung NV24HD review

The Samsung NV24HD makes the best of the NV series' smart touch interface. The intuitive menu system does away with wading through menus and with two mode dials, you have plenty of control. Add in excellent image quality and you've got one enormously clever compact Read more
