Pentax Optio M900 review

If you only have £100 or less to spend on a friendly beginner camera, the Pentax Optio M900 offers a fair return for a modest investment. But an outlay of just £50 more will get you a better camera in Nikon's similar S5100 -- and better pictures, too. Read more

Fujifilm FinePix J100 review

The Fujifilm FinePix J100 is very simple. We'd even call it the consummate point-and-shoot, mainly because you can't do anything else with it. Despite a few quirks, this camera has a decent 5x zoom -- but one thing is for sure: the prominence of 'baby mode' suggests this isn't a camera for the party scene Read more

Samsung PL80 review

The 12.2-megapixel PL80 compact camera offers a good design and specs for the money, including a 5x wide-angle zoom. Its picture quality is fairly mediocre, but it's a simple snapper to operate. Undemanding users who don't want to spend too much should consider it Read more

Kodak EasyShare Z700 review

The surprising amount of manual control with programmed, aperture-priority and shutter-priority modes, the 5x zoom lens with unexpected telephoto reach and the Z700's decent image quality all exceed what you might expect from a camera in this class Read more

Olympus FE-200 review

The 6-megapixel Olympus FE-200 boasts the nicest lens in its series, with a wide 28mm-to-140mm zoom. A digital image stabilisation mode helps reduce shaking when zooming in but the wait of 7.3 seconds between shots may frustrate some users Read more

Kodak EasyShare Z1275 review

The Kodak EasyShare Z1275 is an attempt to bring 12 megapixels to the masses, and it's certainly affordable. The usual Kodak bells and whistles are present, including 20 scene modes and panorama stitch function, but the star of the show is the 5x optical zoom lens Read more

Olympus Stylus mju 780 review

A couple of nice touches help to elevate the retro-styled Olympus Stylus mju 780 above 7-megapixel, 64mm LCD mediocrity. It offers 5x optical zoom, unusual in a camera of this class, and mechanical image stabilisation to cope with it, plus it's weatherproof Read more

Samsung ST90 review

The cheap but not entirely cheerful Samsung ST90 suffers from below-average image quality and an ungainly menu system. There are plenty of superior cameras available for a similar price. Read more
