Nikon Coolpix S3100 review
The Nikon Coolpix S3100 is easy to carry, use and look at. But its image quality is pretty average, and you don't have to look hard to find other cameras that offer more features for less money. Read more

Ricoh CX4 review
It's not going to kick-start any trends, but the workmanlike CX4 is another solid showing from Ricoh in every sense of the word. Its zoom capability and above-average screen resolution is what raises this camera above the pile. Read more

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ100 review
The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ100 is a superzoom with a 24x zoom and a hefty price tag. It's not a bad camera, but there are better alternatives that cost less. Read more

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FS37 review
The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FS37 isn't quite a superzoom, but it's larger and more expensive than many compacts, offering a useful balance of performance and versatility. It looks pretty smart while it's at it, too. Read more

Leica V-Lux 20 review
The Leica V-Lux 20 is a capable but overpriced compact superzoom. It's essentially the Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ10 with a Leica badge. Read more

Nikon Coolpix S01 review
The Coolpix S01 is a camera so small it could make Q-branch blush. It's cheap and produces decent pictures, too. Read more

Pentax Optio RS1500 review
The Pentax Optio RS1500's design won't suit everyone and the swappable skins are a gimmick, but it's fundamentally a very respectable budget camera. Its only real weakness is its poor build quality. Read more

Fujifilm FinePix F300EXR review
This camera's great zoom range, metal build and cracking LCD screen are occasionally let down by rather dull, listless images lacking in contrast. The Fujifilm FinePix F300EXR's noisy zoom and overly sensitive mic are also considerable pitfalls. Read more

The Nikon Coolpix S5100 is a reasonably priced, attractive and generally competent pocket camera for those who really do just want to point and shoot. Read more
