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

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 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

Canon Digital IXUS 960 IS review
The Canon Digital IXUS 960 IS pushes the boat out with its 12.1-megapixel CCD sensor. Along with a titanium body and 3.7x optical zoom lens, you'll find this rugged compact is actually quite comfortable and has plenty of features and a high ISO setting. Set sail with this IXUS 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

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

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W120 review
Sony packs a surprising number of features in its Cyber-shot DSC-W120, a 7-megapixel shooter that comes in a stylish range of colours, including pink, blue and the more traditional black and silver. A better-than-usual 4x optical zoom and in-camera slideshow headline the feature list Read more

Canon PowerShot S3 IS review
An upgrade to 6 megapixels and a 51mm LCD from the lovely PowerShot S2 IS, the S3 IS fast and responsive with a flip and twist LCD and a high-quality lens with effective optical image stabilisation. Its combination of features, performance and relatively compact design certainly gives superzoom fans a compelling alternative Read more
