Samsung PL60 review
The 10.2-megapixel PL60 may be inexpensive, but it's also stylish, practical and satisfying to use. You'll get good pictures whether or not you use the hi-tech shooting functions on offer, and the PL60 is capable of picking out more detail than many 12-megapixel snappers. It's a good buy at this price Read more

Canon PowerShot A470 review
Solid budget models are becoming less expensive and offering better performance -- the Canon PowerShot A470 is one of the best examples of this trend.

The IXUS 95 stakes its claim with beautiful design, an optical viewfinder and better-than-ever face-detection Read more
