Casio Exilim EX-F1 review

If you've ever missed a great photo waiting for automatic focus or a flash, you'll know the importance of high-speed shooting. Casio's Exilim EX-F1 takes it to the extreme, capable of capturing up to 60 full-resolution snaps -- or a mind-boggling 1,200 low-res pics -- in a single second Read more

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

Canon Digital IXUS 60 review

Canon has put substance before style with the simple yet functional Digital IXUS 60, a 6-megapixel point-and-shoot camera that's light on features but heavy on image quality, performance and usability Read more

Canon PowerShot S3 IS review

An upgrade to 6 megapixels and a 51mm LCD from the lovely PowerShot S2 IS, the S3 IS fast and responsive with a flip and twist LCD and a high-quality lens with effective optical image stabilisation. Its combination of features, performance and relatively compact design certainly gives superzoom fans a compelling alternative Read more

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T9 review

Amateurs will appreciate the T9's ease of use, and discerning photographers will love the 6-megapixel model's above-average image quality and responsive performance. While a less-than-wide lens and poor red-eye behaviour will mar some indoor portraits, everyone will love the camera's 64mm LCD screen, its thin body and its image stabilisation Read more

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX10 review

The Lumix DMC-FX10 steps up to the plate with 6 megapixels, a 3x optical zoom lens and a 64mm LCD -- nothing to set the world on fire, but add in Panasonic's effective optical image stabilisation and a sub-£130 price, and you get a very good deal Read more

Nikon Coolpix S5 review

Nikon's Coolpix S5 is a slim, attractive 6-megapixel ultracompact camera that is a winner in design terms. Its 64mm LCD screen, satin silver finish and internally zooming 3x optical lens will be a hit with style-conscious casual photographers, and its iPod-style scrolling click wheel provides users with an easy interface Read more
