Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W170 review
Underneath its plain exterior, the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W170 hides a wealth of clever features and an extremely intuitive graphical interface. It also includes a viewfinder -- a compact rarity, these days -- and good a face detection system among its many tweakable options Read more

Canon PowerShot A470 review
Solid budget models are becoming less expensive and offering better performance -- the Canon PowerShot A470 is one of the best examples of this trend. It isn't the prettiest camera available and it doesn't have any flashy features, but for the price, it's fast and it produces surprisingly good pictures Read more

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W270 review
The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W270's specs certainly gives this compact a fighting chance among its fierce competition. From its 5x wideangle zoom, automatic scene detection, HD movie mode, plus all kinds of face detection, this slim snapper could be one to keep handy Read more

Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZX3 review
The 14.1-megapixel Lumix DMC-ZX3 is a great little camera that packs an 8x super-wide-angle zoom into an impressively compact body. Panasonic's gone overboard with the 'intelligent' features, but it's capable of taking some good photos and can record 720p movies too 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

Casio Exilim EX-S10 review
It's slim, trim and perfect for pockets, but the Casio Exilim EX-S10 doesn't compromise features for size. Even standards like face detection and the flash have a number of extra options that are tweakable. Boasting a giant screen too, this camera is more than just a slender frame Read more

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX40 review
When you start using the 12-megapixel Lumix DMC-FX40, you'll realise why it's pricey -- the build quality and design are outstanding. Picture definition could be better, but the FX40 comes pretty close to being the perfect travel camera, thanks to a very versatile 5x super-wideangle lens 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

Olympus u [mju:] 760 review
The Olympus mju 760 is a good compact camera -- it's light and pocketable with logical, simple features and it comes in a choice of four colours. Its images aren't perfect but it's ideal for carrying with you wherever you go Read more

Canon PowerShot A495 review
The 10-megapixel PowerShot A495 is an affordable compact camera that offers good photos for the price. The biggest downside is its fairly slow shooting performance, but at this price you can't complain too much. It's very straightforward to use too Read more
