Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX7V review

Sony could command far more than £250 or so for the impressive Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX7V compact camera. With a 10x zoom, tonnes of features, and a 16.2-megapixel sensor, it's shot to the top of our shopping list. Read more

Canon PowerShot A800 review

If you're on a budget, the Canon PowerShot A800 should be among the first compact cameras you consider. It's very straightforward, takes a decent photo and represents extremely good value for money. 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

Samsung PL90 review

With a flip-out USB connection arm at its base, the Samsung PL90 has purloined a good idea from the pocket-camcorder market, and edges ahead of compact rivals around the £100 mark. Read more

Kodak EasyShare M550 review

The EasyShare M550 isn't bad but there are better compact cameras available for under £100, including other models from Kodak. Read more

Olympus FE-4050 review

The user-friendly Olympus FE-4050 is a marginally pared-down version of its big brother, the FE-5050, with slightly wider dimensions and a more plasticky build. Read more

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-J10 review

The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-J10 is a compact camera that dares to be different. Unfortunately, its performance is fairly average and its limited storage space could well prove a problem. Read more

Pentax Optio M900 review

If you only have £100 or less to spend on a friendly beginner camera, the Pentax Optio M900 offers a fair return for a modest investment. But an outlay of just £50 more will get you a better camera in Nikon's similar S5100 -- and better pictures, too. Read more

Vivitar iTwist F536 review

Unless you take loads of self-portraits and really need a fold-out screen, there's very little reason to buy the Vivitar iTwist F536. It's a poor compact camera. Read more
