Pentax Optio E70 review
The attractive, 10-megapixel Optio E70 is an inexpensive compact camera that offers decent performance, features and image quality for the price. It doesn't offer a great deal of shooting flexibility, but the E70's simple to use and has large, easy-to-read controls, making it a good camera for beginners Read more

Samsung ST50 review
The 12-megapixel ST50 super-slim camera has a real air of quality about it, thanks to a weighty stainless-steel body and high-quality LCD display. With its 'smart auto' mode, the camera can also take care of all the picture settings for you, if you fancy giving your brain a rest Read more

Nikon Coolpix L20 review
The smart-looking, 10-megapixel Coolpix L20 is a budget compact camera that's easy to handle and straightforward to use. All but very beginners will find the omission of ISO adjustment options baffling, but, otherwise, it's a simple, sturdy, practical camera that takes decent pictures Read more

Fujifilm FinePix Z700EXR review
The FinePix Z700EXR offers good value for money, packing in a 12-megapixel sensor, a 5x optical zoom and a touchscreen interface. While Fujifilm's EXR high-sensitivity and high-dynamic-range modes aren't as impressive as they once were, it's still a decent snapper Read more

Nikon Coolpix L22 review
The compact, 12-megapixel Coolpix L22 with 3.6x zoom proves that budget cameras really can be good. Its lack of manual ISO control is a strange omission, but it's well made, simple to use and capable of taking some impressive photos, such as you might expect from a camera of twice the price Read more

Pentax Optio P70 review
The 12-megapixel Optio P70 boasts an exemplary ultra-compact design, has great features and offers relatively good pictures for the target audience -- those who want to step up from taking snaps with their phone. We wish it was speedier though, and its low-light shots aren't great Read more

Kodak EasyShare V803 review
V803's smooth curves and array of colours make it rather comely, so if you're after an inexpensive 8-megapixel compact camera in your favourite hue, it's worth a look Read more

Kodak EasyShare M853 review
Slap bang in the middle of Kodak's M range of simple point-and-shoot digital cameras, the M853 is a steal for under £80. Eminently pocketable and available in a wide range of colours, it does lack many advanced features, but its user-friendliness may make up for that Read more

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FP3 review
You won't get dSLR-quality photos from the 14.1-megapixel Lumix DMC-FP3 compact camera, but it is remarkably quick, so split-second photo opportunities need not pass you by. It also offers a 4x optical zoom, a touch-sensitive display and 720p movie-capture capability in a super-slim, attractive body Read more

BenQ DC-T700 review
The BenQ DC-T700 is slim and sleek, but still manages to cram in the features. With an enormous screen, sharp lens and responsive touchscreen, the T700 is well designed and built, despite being just 15mm thick -- we kept confusing it with our mobile phone Read more
