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

Nikon Coolpix S230 review
The 10-megapixel Coolpix S230 ultra-compact camera offers all of the point-and-shoot basics in a stylish package. It also has an intuitive touchscreen that helps it stand out from the crowd, while picture quality is generally good. It could be speedier, but the S230 is a decent snapper overall Read more

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FS15 review
The 12.1-megapixel Lumix DMC-FS15 ultra-compact camera isn't the fastest snapper in the world, so it's not great for capturing moving subjects. Its pictures aren't flaw-free either. But it does offer spot-on features for the price, and it's a good choice if you just want to take everyday snapshots 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

Nikon Coolpix S710 review
The Coolpix S710 is a full-featured, 14-megapixel ultra-compact that, despite a limited low-light performance, takes good photos. It's held back by its slow performance, but, if you can overlook that, the S710 is a sound choice for those seeking a point-and-shoot companion for their digital SLR Read more

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FP8 review
The 12.1-megapixel Lumix DMC-FP8 doesn't look like anything special, but it successfully tackles a problem that plagues most other ultra-compact cameras: slow performance. It's also easy to use, small and lightweight, and produces good photos. As such, it's well worth a look for people prone to pointing and shooting Read more

Nikon Coolpix S640 review
The 12.2-megapixel Coolpix S640 ultra-compact camera doesn't excel in any one area, but it's a good all-rounder that should serve snapshooters well. There's no high-definition movie mode, but its pictures below ISO 200 are excellent, it has a high-end feel and it offers decent performance Read more
