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

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

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.

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

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FT1 review
Other ruggedised compact cameras might be tougher, but the 12-megapixel Lumix DMC-FT1 is very well specified for its class, with a 4.6x wideangle zoom and hi-def movie mode, making it a great all-rounder. If versatility is more important to you than having the hardest camera available, it'll be worth a gander Read more

Olympus mju 9000 review
The 12-megapixel mju 9000 packs a 10x optical zoom into a body no bigger than that of the average compact camera, making it unusually pocket-friendly. It's also attractively finished, responsive and delivers good results, although it has a tendency towards overexposure Read more
