Canon Digital IXUS 850 IS review
Last spring, Canon impressed us with its stylish high-end shooter, the 6-megapixel Digital IXUS 800 IS. It had a great lens and produced great images, all in an attractive, pocketable, metal body. With the follow-up Digital IXUS 850 IS, Canon improves upon its previous design by squeezing in a wider lens and a higher resolution sensor Read more

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W130 review
With a quick shutter and a shiny, attractive shell, the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W130 makes a very good pocket point-and-shoot camera. It's an improvement upon previous models with its 4x zoom lens with a longer reach and onboard editing helps you tweak and share your shots Read more

Canon PowerShot A470 review
Solid budget models are becoming less expensive and offering better performance -- the Canon PowerShot A470 is one of the best examples of this trend. It isn't the prettiest camera available and it doesn't have any flashy features, but for the price, it's fast and it produces surprisingly good pictures Read more

Samsung Digimax L60 review
The Samsung Digimax L60 is a solid point-and-shoot camera with a handful of image settings, good performance and decent image quality. Its burst mode is slower than that of most cameras of its class, but if you're not shooting sports and don't mind an occasional purple halo it's certainly a strong choice Read more

Casio Exilim EX-S770 review
This slim and attractive 7-megapixel point-and-shoot camera offers great control with a wider than usual LCD. Casio's Best Shot modes give users more than two dozen scene presets and while the Quick Shot mode takes some getting used to, you'll soon be taking fast, focused photos Read more

Olympus FE-190 review
With a small frame and a smaller price tag, the Olympus FE-190 hopes to attract the fashionably frugal. This 6-megapixel digicam doesn't offer the manual controls more advanced photographers desire, but its other aspects make up for its automation, particularly its solid images Read more

Kodak EasyShare C875 review
Kodak succeeds in getting straight to the point with its EasyShare C875, the high-end member of the EasyShare C series of snapshot cameras. This solid 8-megapixel point-and-shoot doesn't have any outrageous gimmicks, but it produces good pictures and offers plenty of advanced controls Read more

Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ3 review
The Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ3 puts a lot of lens into a small package -- 10x optical zoom, plus optical image stabilisation, as well as a 76mm LCD display, make it a serious superzoom for under £250. It also boasts excellent performance, although it has some minor image quality issues Read more

Canon Digital IXUS 800 IS review
The Canon Digital IXUS 800 IS is a very strong, compact digital camera that produces great pictures. Its price is slightly high compared to that of its little siblings, the IXUS 60 and IXUS 65, but its great image stabilisation and subsequent blur-free photos are worth the extra few quid Read more
