Canon IXUS 300 HS review
The IXUS 300 HS is pricey for a compact camera, but it's a pocket-sized powerhouse. Its pictures are great, even at high ISOs, and its super-slow-motion movie mode is a real hoot. Its high-speed shooting modes are also decent. Overall, it's a very good camera Read more

Panasonic Lumix DMC-G2 review
The 12.1-megapixel Lumix DMC-G2 is a great Micro Four Thirds camera. It feels very well made and it shoots vivid, sharp pictures. Its heaps of complicated features can make it disorientating to use, but there's plenty to get your teeth stuck into, and the touchscreen is a welcome extra Read more

Samsung EX-1 review
The Samsung's strength is its combination of features, performance and value for money. It's not the best-handling high-end compact, but it does the job. The question is: do cameras like this have a future when they're up against a new generation of big-sensor hybrids? Read more

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX5V review
Sony has unleashed the full force of its boffins' brains on the 10.2-megapixel Cyber-shot DSC-HX5V superzoom. An uncanny panorama mode, GPS, super-fast autofocus and a 10x zoom are among the numerous treats on offer. The aggressive noise-reduction software is almost the only downside Read more

Sigma DP2s review
The DP2s is a compact camera with a big sensor, a minimum of controls and a distinct lack of bells and whistles. If you're an experienced photographer who wants a camera that does what you tell it to and takes great pictures, you should check it out Read more

Samsung PL150 review
The 12.4-megapixel PL150 has a front-mounted screen that comes in very handy when shooting self-portraits and group shots, and filming yourself speaking as part of a pompous video diary. Its picture quality deteriorates at full zoom, but otherwise it's good, and the camera feels well-made Read more
