Sony Cyber-shot DSC-WX5 review

The diminutive Sony Cyber-shot DSC-WX5 is a well-built compact camera that will let you take 3D images. Packing plenty of hi-tech features, it offers decent value for money, even if it does feel gimmicky on occasions. 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

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FS5 review

If you stick with it, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FS5 is a surprisingly reliable and endlessly flexible compact camera. You'll find this point-and-shoot has plenty of options in playback mode, plus loads of features and Panasonic's excellent Mega OIS image stablisation system Read more

Samsung ST6500 review

Although it struggles to differentiate itself from other Samsung models, such as the ST95, the ST6500 is a worthy touchscreen compact camera. It offers generally good picture quality and plenty of tools to play with too. Read more

Editors' choice Canon PowerShot G11 review

Canon PowerShot G11 review

The pro-orientated, 10-megapixel PowerShot G11 is expensive and heavy, but it's one of the best serious compacts on the market. Its cast-iron body and chunky external dials are excellent, its image quality is good, and its 5x wideangle zoom is sharp right through its focal range and right to the edges of the frame, too Read more

Samsung SH100 review

The Samsung SH100 offers the decent performance you'd expect from a camera of its price. The addition of Wi-Fi connectivity makes it more appealing than rival snappers if you often post images online. 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

Canon IXUS 220 HS review

The Canon IXUS 220 HS offers a fair selection of features and pretty good performance, wrapped up in a small, stylish stainless-steel shell. Its price is rather hard to swallow, though. Read more

Olympus mju 5000 review

The 12-megapixel mju 5000 is an extremely stylish and well-made compact camera. With unusual but excellent controls, a 5x zoom and 8 frames per second shooting, it's also a pleasure to use and takes great pictures. We're not entirely sold on the supported memory-card formats though Read more

Samsung PL70 review

The PL70 is Samsung's top of the range point and shoot camera. It boasts a handy 28mm wide-angle 5x zoom, HD movies, a barrage of face-detection options and a rather neat brushed-metal design. A good range of smart options make your life easier, while its images are colourful and well defined Read more
