Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W290 review
The Cyber-shot DSC-W290 is a compelling package, offering a 5x wideangle zoom and 12-megapixel resolution in a compact, attractive body for a reasonable price. Photo quality and performance are also solid. Combine that with a terrific design and you've got a winner Read more

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-WX1 review
Sony has packed an impressive amount of technology into the 10.2-megapixel Cyber-shot DSC-WX1, while keeping it tiny and lightweight. Capable of delivering some very good photos, it's also one of the quickest cameras we've tested in its class, making it well worth considering Read more

Pentax X70 review
Pentax's 12-megapixel X70 is a strong first attempt at a superzoom camera. It's not the fastest performer, but its build quality is solid, the 24x optical zoom is flexible and fun, and its photos are good compared to those of rivals. It also offers plenty of shooting options, while being easy to use Read more

Nikon Coolpix P100 review
The 10.3-megapixel Coolpix P100 is amazingly compact for a superzoom camera with a 26x zoom. It's also chock-full of shooting options, so, while its picture quality isn't the best we've seen, it's a good choice for those who want to be able to get their hands dirty and experiment Read more

Nikon Coolpix S710 review
The Coolpix S710 is a full-featured, 14-megapixel ultra-compact that, despite a limited low-light performance, takes good photos. It's held back by its slow performance, but, if you can overlook that, the S710 is a sound choice for those seeking a point-and-shoot companion for their digital SLR Read more

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FP8 review
The 12.1-megapixel Lumix DMC-FP8 doesn't look like anything special, but it successfully tackles a problem that plagues most other ultra-compact cameras: slow performance. It's also easy to use, small and lightweight, and produces good photos. As such, it's well worth a look for people prone to pointing and shooting Read more

Nikon Coolpix S640 review
The 12.2-megapixel Coolpix S640 ultra-compact camera doesn't excel in any one area, but it's a good all-rounder that should serve snapshooters well. There's no high-definition movie mode, but its pictures below ISO 200 are excellent, it has a high-end feel and it offers decent performance Read more

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FS15 review
The 12.1-megapixel Lumix DMC-FS15 ultra-compact camera isn't the fastest snapper in the world, so it's not great for capturing moving subjects. Its pictures aren't flaw-free either. But it does offer spot-on features for the price, and it's a good choice if you just want to take everyday snapshots Read more

Nikon Coolpix S570 review
The 12-megapixel Coolpix S570 is a thoroughly respectable ultra-compact camera that feels more expensive than it is. For someone seeking a reasonably priced snapper for portrait and landscape shots, where speedy performance is less of an issue, the S570 should work well Read more
