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 Casio Exilim EX-Z200 ticks almost every box on a point-and-shoot wishlist. Its large LCD screen and wide-angle lens plus optical image stabilisation and features galore add to the company's signature build quality and friendly interface, making it one of the best compacts available Read more

Casio Exilim EX-FC100 review

Particularly suited to action photography, the 9-megapixel Exilim EX-FC100 offers continuous shooting speeds that are out of this world, as well as plenty of other hi-tech tricks. It also takes good photos, which makes up for the fact that it's not the most beautiful camera in the world Read more

Ricoh GXR review

The modular GXR camera system is barmy, using interchangeable lens units that also house a sensor and image-processing engine. But it's also brilliant -- its components are superbly constructed, it offers dSLR levels of versatility, and its image quality is generally very good 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

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W290 review

The Cyber-shot DSC-W290 is a compelling package, offering a 5x wideangle zoom and 12-megapixel resolution in a compact, attractive body for a reasonable price. Photo quality and performance are also solid. Combine that with a terrific design and you've got a winner Read more

Casio Exilim Pro EX-FH20 review

The Casio Exilim EX-FH20 is the latest of Casio's wonder-cameras that can shoot photos and videos at incredibly fast speeds. While the FH20 isn't as fast as the record-breaking F1, it also comes at a reduced size, with an impressive superzoom and a bevy of useful everyday features Read more

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ150 review

We pushed the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ150 superzoom to the limit, and it impressed us every step of the way. An optical viewfinder and better wind-noise suppression would earn it top marks, but it's hard to fault otherwise. Read more

Olympus mju 5000 review

The 12-megapixel mju 5000 is an extremely stylish and well-made compact camera. With unusual but excellent controls, a 5x zoom and 8 frames per second shooting, it's also a pleasure to use and takes great pictures. We're not entirely sold on the supported memory-card formats though Read more
