Nikon Coolpix S600 review

The Nikon Coolpix S600 is an attractive 10-megapixel compact. Its small dimensions and elegant brushed metal case means it won't be out of place at a party. It's one of the fastest performers in the Coolpix range and produces good images, particularly out of doors Read more

Olympus SP-570 UZ review

The Olympus SP-570 UZ is an extremely promising superzoom, with the widest optical zoom range of any compact camera at 20x, plus built-in image stabilisation, a 1cm macro mode, full manual controls and the ability to shoot at an incredible ISO 6,400 -- and it's got a very tempting price tag too Read more

Samsung NV40 review

Although there were some problems with purple fringing and image noise, the Samsung NV40's user interface is so good that we'd still recommend it. This 10.5-megapixel snapper's price is so close to the £100 mark that it'd be a crime not to consider it at least Read more

Nikon Coolpix S52c review

We've often wondered why cameras don't come equipped with wireless transfer as standard, especially as Bluetooth and, increasingly, Wi-Fi are ubiquitous in mobile phones. The Nikon Coolpix S52c bucks this trend -- it's a 9-megapixel snapper that allows for wireless email, upload and back-up of images Read more

Canon PowerShot A1000 IS review

The Canon PowerShot A1000 IS might not blow your socks off with its design, but if you want a 10-megapixel pocket camera with the convenience of AA batteries, an optical viewfinder, optical image stabilisation and a low price, this camera has them -- and it takes good photos, too Read more

Nikon Coolpix L100 review

The 10-megapixel Coolpix L100 is a budget superzoom aimed at beginners. While it's got few frills and is easy to use, it also boasts a solid build and good picture quality. We're slightly baffled by the lack of manual ISO control, and the LCD could be better, but this is a decent camera otherwise Read more

Fujifilm FinePix S1000fd review

As enormous great 18x and 20x zoom lenses become more common, we're also seeing smaller superzooms, such as the 10-megapixel Fujifilm FinePix S1000fd. On top of its 12x optical zoom lens, it helps the user with straightforward controls and uses easily available AA batteries and SD memory cards Read more

BenQ DC C1050 review

The BenQ DC C1050 has snuck on to the market with a surprisingly affordable 10-megapixel compact camera for the budget-conscious buyer. It's straightforward with very few features, and while it won't win any awards for innovation, it's tasteful, reliable and simple to use Read more

Fujifilm FinePix J100 review

The Fujifilm FinePix J100 is very simple. We'd even call it the consummate point-and-shoot, mainly because you can't do anything else with it. Despite a few quirks, this camera has a decent 5x zoom -- but one thing is for sure: the prominence of 'baby mode' suggests this isn't a camera for the party scene Read more
