Canon IXUS 220 HS review
The Canon IXUS 220 HS offers a fair selection of features and pretty good performance, wrapped up in a small, stylish stainless-steel shell. Its price is rather hard to swallow, though. 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

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H20 review
Why carry around an ordinary compact if you can shoehorn a 10x superzoom into your pocket instead? Sony's new 10-megapixel Cyber-shot DSC-H20 also packs in a 720p HD movie mode, SteadyShot image stabilisation and manual shutter speed and aperture control 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

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

Fujifilm FinePix HS10 review
The 10.3-megapixel FinePix HS10 is expensive and chunky, but it's also one of the best superzooms on the market. Unlike many rivals, it maintains sharpness throughout its 30x zoom length, it handles well and it's responsive. Despite a few rough edges, its strengths far outweigh its weaknesses Read more

Olympus SP-590 UZ review
As superzooms go, the SP-590 UZ, with a 26x wideangle zoom, offers one of the best combinations of price, features, performance and picture quality that we've seen so far. It won't replace a digital SLR but, if you're looking for an ultimate do-it-all compact, the SP-590's definitely worth a look Read more
