Canon PowerShot SX100 IS review
There's a lot of competition, but the Canon PowerShot SX100 IS certainly keeps up. It makes headway by keeping a compact size with a mighty 10x zoom lens. A full complement of manual and semimanual controls keep it in the running, and its superb photo quality pushes it towards the front of the pack Read more

Panasonic Lumix DMC-LZ2B review
The 5-megapixel DMC-LZ2's vibration-damping optical image stabilisation is especially useful at the telephoto end of this compact's 6x zoom. High-performance burst shooting and easy operation increase the DMC-LZ2's appeal, but its lack of manual controls will disappoint photo enthusiasts Read more

Olympus mju-7040 review
The 14-megapixel mju-7040 is an attractive and flexible compact camera, packing a speedy 7x wide-angle zoom into a diminutive body. Its 2GB of internal storage, one-click 720p movie-recording mode and in-built photo-browsing software are useful too Read more

Fujifilm FinePix F80EXR review
The 12-megapixel FinePix F80EXR is a versatile, 10x compact superzoom that offers good value for money. Fujifilm's EXR sensor technology no longer looks as fascinating as it once did, but the camera offers a good 720p movie mode and decent photo quality Read more

Samsung WB500 review
The 10-megapixel WB500 compact superzoom with an ultra-wideangle 10x zoom ticks all the boxes, has no serious flaws and represents good value for money. There are more exciting cameras on the market, but the WB500 is well worth a look, offering good image quality and design Read more

Canon IXUS 1000 HS review
The Canon IXUS 1000 HS is another competent entry in the long-zooming compact-camera arena. There's little that lifts the 1000 above its ever-swelling pack of rivals, however. Read more

Canon PowerShot A710 IS review
Canon has added image stabilisation to the latest, great value model in its A series. For average situations, the A710 IS' image quality is quite good -- most casual shooters will find that the camera is more than enough for their needs, and its versatile controls make it a nice spare camera for more advanced shooters, too Read more

Canon PowerShot A2000 IS review
The PowerShot A2000 IS is an uncomplicated, 10-megapixel compact that produces above-average pictures but fails to excite. With countless rivals offering more interesting features, you can't help but feel that this is the Ford Focus of digital cameras Read more

Kodak EasyShare Z915 review
The 10-megapixel EasyShare Z915 is well worth a look if you want a pocket-friendly superzoom that offers plenty of features, simple operation, a comfortable and sturdy design, and generally good photo quality. It's reasonably priced too, and, for its class, delivers speedy performance Read more
