Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T30 review
Sleek and compact as ever, the latest in Sony's T series features optical image stabilisation and a 76mm LCD screen. Its 58MB internal memory comes in handy if you take advantage of the camera's built-in slide-show mode. Good picture quality and speedy performance also recommend it Read more

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H2 review
Sony's Cyber-shot DSC-H2, is the follow-up model to the H1 and is more in step with the rest of the marchers. Its 12x zoom lens now carries the Carl Zeiss moniker, resolution has been bumped up to 6 megapixels and sensitivity has been stretched all the way out to ISO 1,000 Read more

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T50 review
Identical to the company's T30 in every way except the screen, the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T50 is small and stylish, has optical image stabilisation and produces pleasing images. It all comes down to whether you like the touchscreen interface -- you might find it fiddly, but if you use auto a lot then the extra screen space may be worth it Read more

Pentax K100D review
Following 30 years of absence, Pentax has brought the K back. The K100D does a wonderful job of balancing the needs of amateur and experienced photographers. It doesn't have some of the more fancy features that you'll find on more expensive cameras, but for its price, the K-100D is a steal Read more

Canon Digital IXUS 80 IS review
The Canon Digital IXUS 80 IS adds optical image stabilisation while keeping the impressive image quality of its predecessor, the Digital IXUS 70. With 8 megapixels at the ready, the IXUS 80 IS does well in providing photos with warm, sharp colours Read more

Canon PowerShot A710 IS review
Canon has added image stabilisation to the latest, great value model in its A series. For average situations, the A710 IS' image quality is quite good -- most casual shooters will find that the camera is more than enough for their needs, and its versatile controls make it a nice spare camera for more advanced shooters, too Read more

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ8 review
Surprisingly compact, but still big enough to shoot comfortably with two hands, the FZ8 offers 7-megapixel resolution, optical image stabilisation, raw capture and a stonking 12x optical zoom -- and its ease of use makes it great for beginners Read more

Nikon Coolpix S10 review
Nikon's Coolpix S10 is a stylish superzoom camera with an iconic swivel design. It features an excellent 10x optical zoom lens and sports a 6-megapixel CCD sensor with sensor-shift image stabilisation, to help keep that long lens steady. It's an attractive offering and produces good images, but some may find it lacking in advanced controls Read more

Leica V-Lux 1 review
A repackaged version of Panasonic's Lumix DMC-FZ50, the most attractive feature of the Leica V-Lux 1 superzoom camera is its lens: a Leica DC Vario-Elmarit 12x optical zoom. Coupled with Panasonic's optical image stabilisation, this long reach becomes even more useful. It's a lot more expensive than the Panasonic, though Read more

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H3 review
This year, we saw new superzooms without electronic viewfinders, and the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H3 is one of this new breed. This 8-megapixel compact packs in the manual features, plus a long zoom lens in a camera that's smaller -- if not lighter -- than most superzooms Read more
