The 14.1-megapixel IXUS 130 compact camera is a thing of beauty, with a supremely elegant and satisfying design. Highly pocketable and easy to use, it's an extremely practical camera too. Its picture quality is average, but those seeking a small camera with real class should check it out Read more

The Digital IXUS 110 IS isn't the smallest compact camera on the market, but you won't find many that are better-looking. Boasting an understated design and elegant control layout, it also shoots excellent 720p videos, sports a good screen and offers useful face-detection capability Read more

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-R1 review

An easily rotated LCD screen, plenty of manual controls, a sharp Carl Zeiss lens and a 10-megapixel sensor recommend the DSC-R1, an intriguing bridge between the world of user-friendly prosumer cameras and the more complicated world of high-quality digital SLRs Read more

Casio Exilim Card EX-S100 review

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T9 review

Amateurs will appreciate the T9's ease of use, and discerning photographers will love the 6-megapixel model's above-average image quality and responsive performance. While a less-than-wide lens and poor red-eye behaviour will mar some indoor portraits, everyone will love the camera's 64mm LCD screen, its thin body and its image stabilisation Read more
