Fujifilm FinePix F200EXR review
The FinePix F200EXR is a great camera, but it's Fujifilm's new EXR sensor that's the star of the show, capturing a level of detail that can't be matched by rivals. The controls can be confusing and you might notice some barrel distortion, but overall, the F200EXR sets new standards for compact-camera performance Read more

Samsung ST1000 review
The 12.2-megapixel ST1000 is a classy camera, with a great design and top-notch, ultra-high-resolution touchscreen. The real stars of the show, though, are its Wi-Fi, bluetooth and GPS features. We've seen wireless cameras before, but Samsung's finally shown how it should be done Read more

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-WX1 review
Sony has packed an impressive amount of technology into the 10.2-megapixel Cyber-shot DSC-WX1, while keeping it tiny and lightweight. Capable of delivering some very good photos, it's also one of the quickest cameras we've tested in its class, making it well worth considering Read more

Samsung ST100 review
The Samsung ST100's dual screens have their uses but you'll have to pay extra to get them, and, discounting those, it's a fairly standard point-and-shoot camera. It's fun but it should be cheaper. Read more

Casio Exilim EX-FC100 review
Particularly suited to action photography, the 9-megapixel Exilim EX-FC100 offers continuous shooting speeds that are out of this world, as well as plenty of other hi-tech tricks. It also takes good photos, which makes up for the fact that it's not the most beautiful camera in the world Read more
