Canon PowerShot S90 review

The 10-megapixel PowerShot S90 is brilliant. At last, we have a compact camera that really does have dSLR-style features, really does approach dSLR image quality and really will fit in your pocket. As well as offering a straightforward interface, it's extremely well-built and elegant to boot Read more

Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZX1 review

The 12.1-megapixel Lumix DMC-ZX1 offers an 8x super-wideangle zoom in a compact body, and manages to produce clearer and sharper pictures than the majority of its rivals. It also offers solid build quality and straightforward controls. As such, buying it is almost a no-brainer Read more

Panasonic Lumix DMC-GF2 review

The touchscreen Panasonic Lumix DMC-GF2 subtly refines its predecessor, the GF1. It's well worth a look if you're after a compact camera with swappable lenses. Read more

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-TX5 review

The 10.2-megapixel Cyber-shot DSC-TX5 super-slim camera doesn't look particularly rugged, but it can take a fair old beating. It's also versatile and packed with useful and clever features, while its image quality isn't bad either. In a crowded marketplace, it really stands out Read more

Nikon Coolpix S8200 review

The Nikon Coolpix S8200 is a great superzoom. Its photos are first-class and, although we were slightly disappointed by its video performance, we'd strongly recommend it nevertheless. Read more

Canon IXUS 115 HS review

The Canon IXUS 115 HS compact camera outshines many of its rivals in terms of performance, features and usability. It's not exactly a munter either. Read more

Canon IXUS 220 HS review

The Canon IXUS 220 HS offers a fair selection of features and pretty good performance, wrapped up in a small, stylish stainless-steel shell. Its price is rather hard to swallow, though. Read more

Olympus mju Tough-8000 review

If you're looking for a compact camera that can withstand extraordinary levels of abuse, you might want to check out the mju Tough-8000, particularly as it also functions perfectly well as an everyday camera. The lens could be sharper but, otherwise, you have to look pretty hard to find any flaws with this beast Read more
