Casio Exilim EX-S10 review

It's slim, trim and perfect for pockets, but the Casio Exilim EX-S10 doesn't compromise features for size. Even standards like face detection and the flash have a number of extra options that are tweakable. Boasting a giant screen too, this camera is more than just a slender frame Read more

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX40 review

When you start using the 12-megapixel Lumix DMC-FX40, you'll realise why it's pricey -- the build quality and design are outstanding. Picture definition could be better, but the FX40 comes pretty close to being the perfect travel camera, thanks to a very versatile 5x super-wideangle lens Read more

Samsung PL70 review

The PL70 is Samsung's top of the range point and shoot camera. It boasts a handy 28mm wide-angle 5x zoom, HD movies, a barrage of face-detection options and a rather neat brushed-metal design. A good range of smart options make your life easier, while its images are colourful and well defined Read more

The Olympus mju 760 is a good compact camera -- it's light and pocketable with logical, simple features and it comes in a choice of four colours. Its images aren't perfect but it's ideal for carrying with you wherever you go Read more

Canon PowerShot A495 review

The 10-megapixel PowerShot A495 is an affordable compact camera that offers good photos for the price. The biggest downside is its fairly slow shooting performance, but at this price you can't complain too much. It's very straightforward to use too Read more

Canon PowerShot SX200 IS review

The 12-megapixel PowerShot SX200 IS with 12x wideangle zoom is a very versatile do-it-all camera. It's great for learning about photography too, because it has decent manual controls in addition to idiot-proof automatic modes. Its picture quality won't blow your mind, but it's not at all bad Read more

Nikon Coolpix S3000 review

The 12-megapixel Coolpix S3000 is a good little compact camera for a budget price. If you want cutting-edge tech, look elsewhere, but, if you want a pocket-friendly snapper that's easy to use, attractive and capable of taking decent photos, it may well fit the bill. Its 4x wide-angle zoom is handy too Read more

Casio Exilim EX-Z2000 review

The 14.1-megapixel Exilim EX-Z2000 is a competent compact camera. Its build quality is good, its 5x wide-angle zoom is handy, and its pictures are bright, colourful and crisp. Also, considering how many features it packs in, its price is surprisingly low Read more

Pentax Optio W80 review

The rugged, 12-megapixel Optio W80 is an attractive little beast that can withstand a good deal of physical punishment. It's over-reliant on its menu system, but it's a versatile snapper, offering a 5x wideangle zoom, a high-def movie mode and a sensitivity range that goes all the way up to ISO 6,400 Read more
