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

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

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

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

Casio Exilim EX-FH25 review
At first glance, the 10.1-megapixel Exilim EX-FH25 superzoom doesn't look particularly great. It's expensive and its 20x zoom range is nothing to get a nosebleed over. But its high-speed shooting capability really sets this camera apart from the pack, and makes it a great choice for capturing action shots from afar Read more

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ200 review
A long zoom and a bright lens make the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ200 a tempting halfway-house between a compact and dSLR. Read more

Samsung ST550 review
Its pictures are fairly ordinary, but the 12.2-megapixel ST550 is a stunningly successful exercise in interface design. With a front-mounted touchscreen that makes taking self-portraits a piece of cake, a rear-mounted touchscreen that delivers haptic feedback, and a motion-sensitive menu system, it's a joy to use Read more

Ricoh GR Digital III review
With a fixed-focal-length lens and steep price tag, the 10-megapixel GR Digital III won't appeal to the average user. But photography professionals and enthusiasts who want a 'proper' camera in a compact body will be delighted with its rock-solid build and fantastic photo quality 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

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ18 review
The Panasonic DMC-FZ18 is a mammoth superzoom, packing in 18x zoom lens and 8 megapixels. Despite its large dimensions, it's great fun to use, and is an uncluttered and responsive dSLR-like interface giving access to a wealth of features. It's all the fun without actually being a dSLR Read more
