Sony Cyber-shot DSC-S600 review

The chunky DSC-S600 offers remarkable flexibility despite its bargain price. Its 6-megapixel resolution and moderately wide 31mm-to-93mm lens, in conjunction with decent low-light photos and extended shutter-speed latitude in moderate light, combine to produce a versatile point-and-shoot camera Read more

Kodak EasyShare V610 review

With the EasyShare V610, Kodak takes its innovative dual-lens camera design to its logical conclusion by pairing a typical compact-camera zoom lens with a second 130mm-to-380mm lens for an effective 10x optical zoom range. The V610 also features a large 71mm LCD, impressive for a pocketable compact Read more

Casio Exilim Pro EX-P505 review

Photo cameras make poor camcorders, and camcorders take terrible photos. However, Casio's Exilim Pro EX-P505 does inch us closer to a device that's equally adept with both functions Read more

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX9 review

A slim, beautifully built pocket camera boasting Panasonic's Mega OIS optical image stabilisation which allows you to capture sharp images at slow shutter speeds without a tripod or flash. The camera is also a snappy performer speedwise, but photographers with a critical eye will pause at the less than stellar photo quality Read more

Canon PowerShot A610 review

The PowerShot A610 packs a lot of muscle into its compact body.

Panasonic Lumix DMC-LZ2B review

The 5-megapixel DMC-LZ2's vibration-damping optical image stabilisation is especially useful at the telephoto end of this compact's 6x zoom. High-performance burst shooting and easy operation increase the DMC-LZ2's appeal, but its lack of manual controls will disappoint photo enthusiasts Read more
