Canon Digital IXUS 110 IS review
The Digital IXUS 110 IS isn't the smallest compact camera on the market, but you won't find many that are better-looking. Boasting an understated design and elegant control layout, it also shoots excellent 720p videos, sports a good screen and offers useful face-detection capability Read more

Fujifilm FinePix J150w review
The 10-megapixel FinePix J150w may well be the perfect pocket-sized camera, combining smart styling with crisp, clear pictures, straightforward controls and a 5x wideangle zoom. It also represents excellent value for money. Casual snappers will be hard-pressed to find a better compact camera Read more

Sigma DP1 review
The DP1 is the companion camera to Sigma's SD14. It uses the same unique three-layer Foveon sensor, but this time in a compact body with a fixed focal-length lens. It's designed for photographers looking for simplicity, clarity and quality rather than gimmicks, and are prepared to invest serious cash in their hobby Read more

Olympus mju 9010 review
Olympus has provided the mju 9010 with a 10x optical zoom and an HD movie mode, but they aren't its only tricks. It also has an in-camera panorama mode, 2GB of internal storage and a set of 'Magic Filters'. It looks a pretty good deal compared to other compact superzooms at this price, too Read more

Fujifilm FinePix J110w review
The FinePix J110w offers 10 megapixels, a 5x wideangle zoom and a metal body for a remarkably low price. It doesn't sacrifice style in the process either, boasting an elegant, minimalist design. It also takes good pictures, with crisp detail and strong colours, making for an impressive compact camera overall Read more

Canon Digital IXUS 200 IS review
Canon has played it safe with the Digital IXUS 200 IS, aiming for steady evolution rather than technical innovation. The result is a perfectly decent compact camera. It offers good colours and details at low ISOs, its touchscreen is effective and its 5x extra-wideangle zoom is very useful Read more

Nikon Coolpix S1000pj review
The world's first camera with an integrated projector, the 12.1-megapixel Coolpix S1000pj's most interesting feature will either have you chortling with delight or feeling totally unimpressed. But it's not all about the projector -- the S1000pj is a pretty good compact in its own right Read more

Canon PowerShot D10 review
The 12-megapixel PowerShot D10 adds a welcome splash of style to the ruggedised camera market. Although it's not as shockproof as some of its rivals and the basic 3x zoom is nothing to shout about, it's waterproof to an impressive 10m and the lens is unusually sharp for this class of camera Read more

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FS25 review
The 12-megapixel Lumix DMC-FS25 provides the chance to get all the usual Panasonic tech in a cheaper, but still very decent, package. Detail in its pictures lacks bite, but the results are still good, and the design is robust and efficient, making for a worthwhile compact camera overall Read more

Nikon Coolpix S620 review
The 12-megapixel Coolpix S620 is compact, responsive and pleasant to use, providing a better overall experience than its big brother, the S630. The smile- and blink-detection modes are slightly confusing, but this speedy camera is great for taking impromptu shots, and an appealing device overall Read more
