Nikon Coolpix S210 review
The Nikon Coolpix S210 does exactly what it says on the tin. It's small and compact; it won't leave you with an emptied wallet; and it takes decent pictures. Start shooting and you'll find it focuses quickly and your shots come out with well-balanced colours Read more

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

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

Samsung L830 review
Considering its low price, the Samsung L830 offers a lot of camera for experienced, budget-minded photographers. It gives snappers manual exposure modes and colour channel controls, plus a handful of scene presets and automatic shooting, so you can be as hands-on as you want 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

Samsung PL80 review
The 12.2-megapixel PL80 compact camera offers a good design and specs for the money, including a 5x wide-angle zoom. Its picture quality is fairly mediocre, but it's a simple snapper to operate. Undemanding users who don't want to spend too much should consider it 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 M1073 IS review
The Kodak EasyShare M1073 IS is a 10.2-megapixel point-and-shoot. While we've seen some scorching-hot cameras from Kodak in recent months, the blocky M1073 doesn't quite inspire the same kind of love at first sight. It does have a good 69mm LCD, optical image stabilisation and face detection, though Read more

Canon PowerShot A3100 IS review
The 12.1-megapixel PowerShot A3100 IS with 4x zoom makes a good first impression. Its pictures and feature set won't induce violent spasms of excitement, but its smart metal body, satisfying dimensions and straightforward controls are points in its favour Read more
