Editors' choice Canon Digital IXUS 800 IS review

Canon Digital IXUS 800 IS review

The Canon Digital IXUS 800 IS is a very strong, compact digital camera that produces great pictures. Its price is slightly high compared to that of its little siblings, the IXUS 60 and IXUS 65, but its great image stabilisation and subsequent blur-free photos are worth the extra few quid Read more

Olympus FE-190 review

With a small frame and a smaller price tag, the Olympus FE-190 hopes to attract the fashionably frugal. This 6-megapixel digicam doesn't offer the manual controls more advanced photographers desire, but its other aspects make up for its automation, particularly its solid images Read more

Samsung Digimax L60 review

The Samsung Digimax L60 is a solid point-and-shoot camera with a handful of image settings, good performance and decent image quality. Its burst mode is slower than that of most cameras of its class, but if you're not shooting sports and don't mind an occasional purple halo it's certainly a strong choice Read more

Canon Digital IXUS 65 review

It may be small, but the Canon Digital IXUS 65 is fierce. This little 6-megapixel point-and-shoot manages to pack zippy performance and good photos into a package you can fit in your trouser pocket. A couple of small design issues don't stop it being a great compact camera Read more

HP Photosmart M437 review

With one of the smallest price tags on the market, the HP Photosmart M437 looks like an appealing, simple little camera. Its 5-megapixel sensor and 51mm LCD won't turn many heads, but its skimpy £80 price will attract anyone looking for a budget snapper Read more

Nikon Coolpix L11 review

Some budget digital cameras offer surprisingly good picture quality for very little money, such as the Nikon Coolpix L11, a simple, easy-to-use 6-megapixel point-and-shoot that produces very acceptable pictures for under £100 Read more

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W50 review

The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W50 is a decent 6-megapixel ultracompact digital camera that makes up for its lack of controls with solid performance and image quality. Its compact form and easy operation make it an attractive offering for those wanting a camera they can keep on them at all times Read more

Olympus FE-180 review

Olympus's 6-megapixel FE-180 is a rare example of a camera with a well-built automatic system -- there are hardly any manual controls, but it still takes a decent image. Basically, the camera runs almost completely on autopilot. It's just the thing for a casual photographer on a budget Read more

HP Photosmart M537 review

The HP Photosmart M537 is neither large nor small, shiny nor sleek, but despite its plain styling, it's extremely easy to use. With comfortable buttons on its back controlling an sensible interface, you can choose from a generous amount of onboard features, making for a sophisticated simplicity 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
