Sony Cyber-shot DSC-TX5 review
The 10.2-megapixel Cyber-shot DSC-TX5 super-slim camera doesn't look particularly rugged, but it can take a fair old beating. It's also versatile and packed with useful and clever features, while its image quality isn't bad either. In a crowded marketplace, it really stands out Read more

Casio Exilim EX-Z200 review
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

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T900 review
The 12-megapixel, touchscreen Cyber-shot DSC-T900 is expensive, but it's easy to see where your money's gone. Despite a few design quirks, it looks great, packs in plenty of hi-tech features and, most importantly, delivers good results, both in terms of stills and hi-def movies 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

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FP8 review
The 12.1-megapixel Lumix DMC-FP8 doesn't look like anything special, but it successfully tackles a problem that plagues most other ultra-compact cameras: slow performance. It's also easy to use, small and lightweight, and produces good photos. As such, it's well worth a look for people prone to pointing and shooting Read more

Nikon Coolpix S3000 review
The 12-megapixel Coolpix S3000 is a good little compact camera for a budget price. If you want cutting-edge tech, look elsewhere, but, if you want a pocket-friendly snapper that's easy to use, attractive and capable of taking decent photos, it may well fit the bill. Its 4x wide-angle zoom is handy too Read more

Pentax Optio P70 review
The 12-megapixel Optio P70 boasts an exemplary ultra-compact design, has great features and offers relatively good pictures for the target audience -- those who want to step up from taking snaps with their phone. We wish it was speedier though, and its low-light shots aren't great Read more

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FP3 review
You won't get dSLR-quality photos from the 14.1-megapixel Lumix DMC-FP3 compact camera, but it is remarkably quick, so split-second photo opportunities need not pass you by. It also offers a 4x optical zoom, a touch-sensitive display and 720p movie-capture capability in a super-slim, attractive body Read more

Canon PowerShot A3100 IS review
The 12.1-megapixel PowerShot A3100 IS with 4x zoom makes a good first impression. Its pictures and feature set won't induce violent spasms of excitement, but its smart metal body, satisfying dimensions and straightforward controls are points in its favour Read more
