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

Olympus Tough TG-310 review

The ruggedised Olympus Tough TG-310 is certainly a robust camera, but there are plenty of more resilient models out there. Its average performance and some usability issues don't do much to further this camera's cause. 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 2 review

The highly versatile Leica V-Lux 2 superzoom is enjoyable to use and capable of capturing some fantastic shots. But this camera is basically the same as a Panasonic model that's almost half the price. Read more
