GoPro Motorsports Hero Wide review

The Motorsports Hero Wide vehicle-mounted digital-camera system offers reasonable video-recording capability and picture quality for a decent price. Remarkably easy to use, this robust system is a great way to record your high-speed high jinks, but consumes batteries at a rapid rate Read more

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-G1 review

The screen on the Cyber-shot DSC-G1 is so big, you can almost gather friends around it to watch slides. With its MP3 capabilities, you can even set your photos to your favourite songs. Fitting comfortably into your jacket pocket, take the DSC-G1's show on the road Read more

Canon PowerShot A530 review

Though the A530 is a modest 5-megapixel step down from its 6-megapixel sibling, the A540, it still has almost all of the same handy features and produces very pretty images in well-lit environments. Unfortunately, it lacks the zippy performance and large LCD that help elevate the A540 above the crowd Read more

Fujifilm FinePix F650 review

For shutterbugs who want both a camera they can control and that can also fit in a pocket, Fujifilm's 6-megapixel FinePix F650 walks the line well between function and convenience. It comes with a 5x optical zoom lens and a 76mm LCD screen, and while it doesn't include any gimmicky features, it does have full manual-exposure controls Read more

Nikon Coolpix L6 review

Like the rest of Nikon's L series the L6 eschews features in favour of simplicity. This 6-megapixel camera with its 38mm-to-116mm 3x optical zoom lens does not let you select an ISO and its performance can be slow, but if you like the idea of fully automated shooting, it could be a good choice Read more

Nikon Coolpix S9 review

The Coolpix S9 is a 6-megapixel digital camera that really is ultracompact -- it's just 20mm thick and weighs only 116g. That it's so much less expensive than other ultracompacts is due to a squeeze on build quality and features -- fewer pixels in the LCD, only up to ISO 400 and no image stabilisation or manual exposure controls Read more

Nikon Coolpix L10 review

The Nikon Coolpix L10 comes from a family of rock-bottom budget cameras, but they don't skim on performance. The L10 did well in our tests, both in shooting time and in keeping the noise levels under control. While this isn't a camera with lots of frills, it does its family proud as a simple point-and-shoot Read more

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W30 review

A pocket-size shooter from Sony, the Cyber-shot DSC-W30 provides impressive photos and fast, easy operation in a simple package. A limited 3x zoom lens and a paucity of manual controls limit the DSC-W30's enthusiast appeal to those looking for a small second camera, however Read more

Pentax Optio S50 review

Yet another entry into the increasingly crowded field of 5-megapixel snapshot cameras, the Pentax Optio S50 boasts more features than such form-over-function offerings as the Canon Digital Ixus 30, but lags slightly behind Pentax's own S5i for versatility. Read more
