Canon Digital IXUS 700 review

We really enjoyed shooting with the Canon Digital IXUS 700. It has an exterior design that combines form and function more elegantly than any point-and-shoot we've ever tested Read more

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W55 review

This budget digital camera is a £10 upgrade to the Cyber-shot DSC-W35, which buys you a nice brushed-metal fascia and a larger LCD screen. It's not the most exciting camera in the world, but its clear and pleasing photos make it worth a gander Read more

Pentax Optio S12 review

A new edition to the S series of ultracompacts, the Pentax Optio S12 is small but solid. Packing a whopping 12 megapixels into its ultracompact body as well as a crisp 64mm (2.5-inch) screen, this camera will give you natural and realistic images for an excellent price Read more

Canon Digital IXUS 120 IS review

The 12-megapixel Digital IXUS 120 IS is difficult to resist, thanks to its combination of a tiny, attractive body, simple operation, and generally very good photos. Occasionally, its images can suffer from purple fringing, and it can also be sluggish, but this is one of the better ultra-compacts on the market Read more

Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ4 review

It may have the looks of a compact camera, but the 8-megapixel Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ4 has the power of a superzoom in a small package. It sports a large 10x zoom lens made by Leica, with a satisfying 28mm wide angle, and Panasonic's highly capable optical image stabilisation is a boon 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

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W220 review

In order to keep the price down, Sony's trimmed the 12-megapixel Cyber-shot DSC-W220's features, but left enough in so that it's still a worthwhile proposition. Also offering fairly speedy performance and decent photo quality, this is a well-rounded and attractive compact camera Read more

Nikon Coolpix S70 review

The 12.1-megapixel Coolpix S70 is an expensive compact camera, which might lead you to expect better photo quality than you'll actually get. Photos are still very good, but you're really investing in the beautiful and responsive touchscreen and the slick design Read more

Canon Digital IXUS 860 IS review

The Canon Digital IXUS 860 IS does the thinking for you. Its wealth of features include 10 scene modes, plus Canon's Digic III technology, which handles face detection and noise reduction. The screen is a large 76mm (3 inches) and the menu items accessible, so you can keep a clear head while shooting Read more
