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

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

Samsung PL70 review

The PL70 is Samsung's top of the range point and shoot camera. It boasts a handy 28mm wide-angle 5x zoom, HD movies, a barrage of face-detection options and a rather neat brushed-metal design. A good range of smart options make your life easier, while its images are colourful and well defined Read more

Canon Digital IXUS 80 IS review

The Canon Digital IXUS 80 IS adds optical image stabilisation while keeping the impressive image quality of its predecessor, the Digital IXUS 70. With 8 megapixels at the ready, the IXUS 80 IS does well in providing photos with warm, sharp colours Read more

Nikon Coolpix S570 review

The 12-megapixel Coolpix S570 is a thoroughly respectable ultra-compact camera that feels more expensive than it is. For someone seeking a reasonably priced snapper for portrait and landscape shots, where speedy performance is less of an issue, the S570 should work well Read more

Samsung PL60 review

The 10.2-megapixel PL60 may be inexpensive, but it's also stylish, practical and satisfying to use. You'll get good pictures whether or not you use the hi-tech shooting functions on offer, and the PL60 is capable of picking out more detail than many 12-megapixel snappers. It's a good buy at this price Read more

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX55 review

The 8-megapixel Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX55 squeezes a 3.6x optical zoom into its slender ultracompact frame, and its Leica lens goes as wide as 28mm, proving very useful for group portraits and landscapes. Easy to use and with crisp images, it's the ideal pocket camera 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
