Olympus mju-7010 review
The 12-megapixel mju-7010 is a great little camera that combines a compact body with a 7x wideangle zoom. Its pictures could be crisper and other cameras have longer zoom ranges without costing more, but the mju-7010 is so slim and neat that it's hard to resist Read more

Casio Exilim EX-FH100 review
The 10.1-megapixel Exilim EX-FH100 is a compact superzoom with a twist. As well as a 10x zoom range, it can shoot photos at up to 40 frames per second and movies at up to 1,000fps. That makes it a good choice if you're in the habit of shooting action scenes Read more

Ricoh Caplio R7 review
The Ricoh Caplio R7 is a camera that takes charge. Available in orange, silver and black flavours, this camera boasts a mini joystick plus the standard clickpad to navigate settings. Changing the white balance and exposure has never been easier and that certainly shows a bit of design gumption Read more

What the relatively compact, 9-megapixel PowerShot SX110 IS megazoom camera sacrifices in speed is more than made up for by its arguably best-in-class picture quality. It's also reasonably priced, and offers enough features to appeal to both inexperienced and seasoned users Read more

Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZX3 review
The 14.1-megapixel Lumix DMC-ZX3 is a great little camera that packs an 8x super-wide-angle zoom into an impressively compact body. Panasonic's gone overboard with the 'intelligent' features, but it's capable of taking some good photos and can record 720p movies too Read more
