Kodak EasyShare P880 review

The 8-megapixel Kodak EasyShare P880, at the top of the company's flagship Performance Series, offers a wide-angle zoom lens, as well as design elements, features and specs that grant the camera its category status. But it delivers them in an uneven and frequently disappointing implementation Read more

Olympus mju 830 review

The Olympus mju 830 is no fair-weather friend. Its sturdy metal body with rubber seals means it's splashproof, and while you won't want to take it swimming, it can certainly withstand the weather. There's a wealth of scene modes available, helping to tick all the point-and-shoot boxes Read more

Olympus u [mju:] Digital 800 review

With 8 megapixels, aperture- and shutter-priority exposure controls and a top-notch built-in help guide, the compact, 3x-zoom mju Digital 800 sits solidly at the top of Olympus' weather-resistant-camera lineup. It's also one of the smallest and most affordable 8-megapixel cameras on the market Read more

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX50 review

The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX50 is a good-looking little compact -- available in silver or black -- that benefits from a large, 76mm LCD and a highly legible menu system. It can keep up with its competitors when it comes to performance, too, but it's let down by severe noise in its images Read more

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ30 review

Though a dSLR would give you better performance, additional features and better image quality, the FZ30 is a viable alternative for photographers who want maximum flexibility for a (relatively) small cash outlay Read more

Fujifilm FinePix S8000fd review

If you don't want to carry around a huge dSLR and a gaggle of lenses, the Fujifilm FinePix S8000fd might be your solution. With its 18x optical zoom equivalent to 27mm, this camera covers a wide area. It's ideal for both portraits and landscapes and leaves behind the hassle of extra lenses Read more

Nikon Coolpix P1 review

The P2 delivers good image quality and a familiar Nikon interface, but its Wi-Fi capabilities are not up to much -- you can't email or Web-post pics, only transfer them to a nearby computer or printer, which is quicker over USB anyway Read more

Pentax Optio A10 review

Pentax's Optio A10 boasts some impressive specs, including 8-megapixel resolution, sensor-shifting shake reduction, ISO 800 sensitivity and a high-resolution 232,000-pixel 64mm (2.5-inch) LCD. It produces decent images under a variety of conditions, but suffers from excessive noise above ISO 200 Read more

Nikon Coolpix L19 review

The inexpensive, 8-megapixel Coolpix L19 is an unpretentious and sturdy compact camera that's well suited to the rough and tumble of family use. The resolution is modest and you get very little manual control, but, in a perverse kind of way, it's a very likeable camera Read more

If price is a major deciding factor in your next digital camera purchase, the Nikon Coolpix S520 is a solid-gold hit. Priced affordably, it's also the epitome of point-and-shoot compacts -- simple features and performance that boasts maximum ease and minimum effort Read more
