Ricoh CX2 review
The 9.3-megapixel CX2 compact superzoom with 10.7x zoom offers capabilities that wouldn't be out of place on a cutting-edge digital SLR, including plenty of focusing options and an excellent dynamic-range mode. It also feels very well-made and responsive Read more

Canon Digital IXUS 990 IS review
It's hard to tell exactly where in the line the 12.1-megapixel Canon Digital IXUS 990 IS sits, but it bears all the usual IXUS hallmarks: an elegant design and straightforward controls combined with hi-tech automation and decent picture quality. An excellent LCD screen is a welcome bonus 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

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

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

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 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

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

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 P90 review
With a 24x super-wideangle lens, the 12-megapixel Coolpix P90 is a versatile superzoom that combines a good range of features with decent picture quality and performance. As with most superzooms, it's not a substitute for a digital SLR, but it's vastly more sophisticated than a compact Read more
