Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX3 review

The 10-megapixel Lumix DMC-LX3 is a compact, elegant camera that offers an enthusiast-friendly feature set and takes sharp, saturated photos. Shot times could be better and the camera's not without its quirks, but the LX3 is well worth considering if you need something more discreet than a digital SLR Read more

Canon Digital IXUS Wireless review

Canon has created a boon for remote-shooting fans with its Digital IXUS Wireless, a 5-megapixel ultracompact that is basically an IXUS 50 with a slightly different body and a built-in Wi-Fi transmitter. It also features a 51mm LCD, limited manual control, snappy shooting performance and middle-of-the-road image quality Read more

Olympus u [mju:] 810 Digital review

The versatile, water-resistant 8-megapixel Olympus mju 810 Digital adapts to dim environments as readily as it braves damp ones. Thanks to a combination of high sensitivity (up to ISO 3,200), digital image stabilisation and Olympus's Bright Capture pixel-pooling technology, the mju 810 can take and display acceptable pictures in low light Read more

Nikon Coolpix S01 review

The Coolpix S01 is a camera so small it could make Q-branch blush. It's cheap and produces decent pictures, too. Read more

Canon PowerShot A640 review

With lots of manual settings and a reasonably low price tag, Canon's PowerShot A640 looks appealing. Though it lacks the flexibility of higher-end cameras and the stylish portability of more compact shooters, the 10-megapixel A640 is a smart, fully featured camera with some surprising benefits -- like a fold-out LCD Read more

Nikon Coolpix 7600 review

This 7-megapixel, 3x optical-zoom model squarely targets the snapshot set, but it delivers where it really counts: helpful features and very good picture quality Read more

Pentax Optio S5n review

From the compact size and the tweedle-beep that it makes on start-up to the bright contrasty LCD and the icon-based menus, the 5-megapixel Optio S5n is a cute little camera that'll find a home in your heart as well as your pocket. Read more

Fujifilm FinePix J12 review

Dispensing with all forms of gimmickry, the J12 is an elegant, straightforward, 8-megapixel compact digital camera that produces sharp and clear images. It's not perfect but, for the price, it's so good that it makes its rivals look stupid Read more

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ50 review

Superzooms are nothing new but some are emerging that offer a viable substitute for an SLR. With a 35mm-to-420mm, 12x optical zoom and a 10.1-megapixel CCD sensor, the Lumix DMC-FZ50 is an attractive option for photographers who crave artistic control but don't want to bother with interchangeable lenses Read more

Fujifilm FinePix S9500 Zoom review

Fujifilm's FinePix S9500 shows just how close digital SLR wannabes are getting to the real thing. This is one EVF-equipped camera that can compete in both the SLR and non-SLR arenas. It boasts a 10.7x optical zoom and 9 megapixels, but it can't quite compete with the real thing on image quality Read more
