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

Nikon Coolpix S1100pj review
The Nikon Coolpix S1100pj does an impressive job of letting you capture an image and project it with the same compact device. We look forward to Nikon bringing out a 3D version that will prove even more immersive. Read more

Fujifilm FinePix F70EXR review
Sporting Fujifilm's EXR sensor, the 10-megapixel FinePix F70EXR compact superzoom with 10x wideangle zoom is capable of delivering some truly impressive pictures, particularly in low light. It's sometimes susceptible to colour fringing, but its size, build and handling are all great Read more

Canon IXUS 300 HS review
The IXUS 300 HS is pricey for a compact camera, but it's a pocket-sized powerhouse. Its pictures are great, even at high ISOs, and its super-slow-motion movie mode is a real hoot. Its high-speed shooting modes are also decent. Overall, it's a very good camera 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

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

Despite some flaws, we are loving Samsung's £170 NV100HD super-sexy compact. Its elegant design is a welcomed departure from previous Samsung models, and, coupled with its amazing price and incredibly crisp screen, the NV100HD is a digital camera you can afford to take a chance on Read more

Canon PowerShot G10 review
Still the Godfather of compact cameras, the Canon G10 is a worthy successor to the G9. A wideangle lens, accessible controls and a list of features as long as your arm put dSLR power in your pocket. The 14.7-megapixel snapper is chunky by anyone's standards but it packs in enough power to make it worth it Read more

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FS5 review
If you stick with it, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FS5 is a surprisingly reliable and endlessly flexible compact camera. You'll find this point-and-shoot has plenty of options in playback mode, plus loads of features and Panasonic's excellent Mega OIS image stablisation system Read more
