Sony Cyber-shot DSC-WX1 review

Sony has packed an impressive amount of technology into the 10.2-megapixel Cyber-shot DSC-WX1, while keeping it tiny and lightweight. Capable of delivering some very good photos, it's also one of the quickest cameras we've tested in its class, making it well worth considering Read more

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W290 review

The Cyber-shot DSC-W290 is a compelling package, offering a 5x wideangle zoom and 12-megapixel resolution in a compact, attractive body for a reasonable price. Photo quality and performance are also solid. Combine that with a terrific design and you've got a winner 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

Pentax X70 review

Pentax's 12-megapixel X70 is a strong first attempt at a superzoom camera. It's not the fastest performer, but its build quality is solid, the 24x optical zoom is flexible and fun, and its photos are good compared to those of rivals. It also offers plenty of shooting options, while being easy to use Read more

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W220 review

In order to keep the price down, Sony's trimmed the 12-megapixel Cyber-shot DSC-W220's features, but left enough in so that it's still a worthwhile proposition. Also offering fairly speedy performance and decent photo quality, this is a well-rounded and attractive compact camera Read more

Canon PowerShot A2100 IS review

The 12.1-megapixel Canon PowerShot A2100 IS combines very good photo quality with the benefits of a 6x optical zoom and optical image stabilisation. Some aspects of its performance are relatively slow, but it still represents good value for a point-and-shoot compact camera Read more

Nikon Coolpix P100 review

The 10.3-megapixel Coolpix P100 is amazingly compact for a superzoom camera with a 26x zoom. It's also chock-full of shooting options, so, while its picture quality isn't the best we've seen, it's a good choice for those who want to be able to get their hands dirty and experiment Read more

Samsung WB1000 review

The 12-megapixel WB1000 offers more control over your photos than the vast majority of other compact cameras, making it a good option for digital SLR users seeking a pocket snapper. Its photo quality and performance are what you'd expect from a compact, but it's a beautifully made machine Read more

Canon PowerShot SX110 IS review

What the relatively compact, 9-megapixel PowerShot SX110 IS megazoom camera sacrifices in speed is more than made up for by its arguably best-in-class picture quality. It's also reasonably priced, and offers enough features to appeal to both inexperienced and seasoned users Read more

Canon PowerShot SX120 IS review

Rival compact superzooms may be speedier, have more features and sport sleeker designs, but the 10-megapixel PowerShot SX120 IS with 10x zoom has an ace up its sleeve: its best-in-class photos. Clean, sharp and offering plenty of detail, its photos also deliver vivid and generally excellent colours Read more
