Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ4 review

It may have the looks of a compact camera, but the 8-megapixel Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ4 has the power of a superzoom in a small package. It sports a large 10x zoom lens made by Leica, with a satisfying 28mm wide angle, and Panasonic's highly capable optical image stabilisation is a boon Read more

Ricoh G600 review

If you live life on the edge, you need gadgets to match. The Ricoh G600 is a camera designed for extreme(ish) conditions: this 10-megapixel snapper is waterproof, dustproof and drop-proof. Though the frame is rubberised and the controls oversized, giving it a toy-like quality, the G600 produces good-quality pictures nonetheless Read more

Kodak EasyShare ZD710 review

The Kodak EasyShare ZD710 is a well-designed superzoom with a relatively small size and price alike. It certainly presents a step up over most compacts in terms of manual control. As a first camera for would-be enthusiasts, the simplicity of operation is a bonus Read more

Nikon Coolpix P50 review

The Nikon Coolpix P50 has an old-fashioned, boxy feel with a helpful chunky grip. It's a solidly built, easy-to-use, nuts-and-bolts kind of camera. It offers a surprisingly high degree of control over image settings, and as a result its photos are excellent quality for the price Read more

Pentax Optio M60 review

The Optio range has always stuck to the company's simple, accessible philosophy, and the Pentax Optio M60 is no exception. This 10-megapixel point-and-shoot compact camera is very slim and light, looks very cute and packs a few interesting features, for a very friendly price of less than £100 Read more

Fujifilm Finepix Z100fd review

The Fujifilm FinePix Z100fd wears its biggest strengths on its sleeve: a decent-sized screen, fun scroll wheel and engaging looks.

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FS11 review

Panasonic's compact cameras are usually solidly built and well designed, and the 14.1-megapixel Lumix DMC-FS11 is no exception. While it's not the most versatile snapper in the world -- its pictures suffer from noise in low light -- it is highly pocketable, very simple to use and pretty affordable too Read more

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H50 review

Superzooms split the dSLR and compact camps, but the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H50 sweetens the deal with a full 18x zoom lens and a handy fold-out LCD screen. There's a wealth of features in the sturdy body, all of which can be tweaked. Images look great and features kept us entertained Read more
