Canon Digital IXUS 850 IS review
Last spring, Canon impressed us with its stylish high-end shooter, the 6-megapixel Digital IXUS 800 IS. It had a great lens and produced great images, all in an attractive, pocketable, metal body. With the follow-up Digital IXUS 850 IS, Canon improves upon its previous design by squeezing in a wider lens and a higher resolution sensor Read more

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T9 review
Amateurs will appreciate the T9's ease of use, and discerning photographers will love the 6-megapixel model's above-average image quality and responsive performance. While a less-than-wide lens and poor red-eye behaviour will mar some indoor portraits, everyone will love the camera's 64mm LCD screen, its thin body and its image stabilisation 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

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

Casio Exilim Card EX-S500 review
The latest in Casio's superslim line of card cameras, the 5-megapixel Exilim EX-S500 offers a 3x optical zoom and lots of features such as a burst mode, MPEG-4 video capture, and the ever-important AF illuminator. Its photo quality doesn't distinguish it, but if you're not too picky, it's definitely worth a look Read more

Nikon Coolpix S80 review
Its minimalist exterior makes the S80 Nikon's slickest Coolpix compact camera yet, even though its touchscreen can make for fiddly operation at times. Read more

Panasonic Lumix DMC-SZ9 review
The Lumix DMC-SZ9 is a high-quality compact camera with built-in Wi-Fi and free Android and iOS apps, but few manual controls. Read more

Samsung Digimax L60 review
The Samsung Digimax L60 is a solid point-and-shoot camera with a handful of image settings, good performance and decent image quality. Its burst mode is slower than that of most cameras of its class, but if you're not shooting sports and don't mind an occasional purple halo it's certainly a strong choice 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
