Olympus FE-115 review

The Olympus FE-115 is all about simplicity. This clunky 5-megapixel shooter sports a 3x optical zoom lens, seven shooting modes and not much else. It's inexpensive and takes decent pictures, but does suffer from extremely slow performance and lack of basic image settings -- it's a good idea to look around before you buy Read more

Pentax Optio M900 review

If you only have £100 or less to spend on a friendly beginner camera, the Pentax Optio M900 offers a fair return for a modest investment. But an outlay of just £50 more will get you a better camera in Nikon's similar S5100 -- and better pictures, too. Read more

Samsung L74 Wide review

The 7-megapixel Samsung L74 Wide, as its name suggests, sports a wide-angle lens, which is great for taking photos of landscapes and groups of friends. Samsung also includes shake reduction for steady shots and includes a unique on-camera guidebook with information on world landmarks Read more

Canon PowerShot A3100 IS review

The 12.1-megapixel PowerShot A3100 IS with 4x zoom makes a good first impression. Its pictures and feature set won't induce violent spasms of excitement, but its smart metal body, satisfying dimensions and straightforward controls are points in its favour Read more

Olympus mju 7000 review

The 12-megapixel mju 7000 isn't going to make anyone wet their pants with excitement, but it's a capable snapper nonetheless. With a 7x zoom range, it offers serious telephoto capability in a compact body that can slip into your shirt pocket, and its pictures are good too Read more

Kodak EasyShare C743 review

The Kodak EasyShare C743 is an affordable point-and-shoot camera that doesn't stand out in its class. Its feature set delivers the basics and it does benefit from an optical viewfinder, however the image quality leaves a lot to be desired, with shots looking fuzzy and fine details appearing smudged and blurred Read more

Fujifilm FinePix S1000fd review

As enormous great 18x and 20x zoom lenses become more common, we're also seeing smaller superzooms, such as the 10-megapixel Fujifilm FinePix S1000fd. On top of its 12x optical zoom lens, it helps the user with straightforward controls and uses easily available AA batteries and SD memory cards Read more

Casio Exilim EX-Z1 review

The 10-megapixel Exilim EX-Z1 super-slim camera with 3x zoom boasts a sleek and attractive design and comes in a range of appealing colours. Its pictures won't blow your mind, but it does benefit from a widescreen LCD display, which is useful for taking reasonably high-resolution 848x480-pixel movies Read more

Samsung Digimax S800 review

Samsung categorises its S-series cameras as point-and-shoots, but they have so many controls they could reach beyond the majority of simple snapshot cameras. Unfortunately, unintuitive menus and poor image quality keep the 8.1-megapixel Samsung Digimax S800 from reaching its potential Read more
