Canon PowerShot S80 review

A fun little camera that packs a wallop in terms of features, performance and photo quality. The S80's automatic-exposure modes and intelligent processing will impress casual photographers who want good images without much fuss Read more

Nikon Coolpix S5 review

Nikon's Coolpix S5 is a slim, attractive 6-megapixel ultracompact camera that is a winner in design terms. Its 64mm LCD screen, satin silver finish and internally zooming 3x optical lens will be a hit with style-conscious casual photographers, and its iPod-style scrolling click wheel provides users with an easy interface Read more

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W7 review

Sony's 7.2-megapixel Cyber-shot DSC-W7 has the same great 64mm (2.5-inch) LCD, metal-alloy body, and 3x Carl Zeiss zoom lens as its predecessor, last year's DSC-W1, but the W7 adds 2 more megapixels and plenty of extra speed Read more

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX9 review

A slim, beautifully built pocket camera boasting Panasonic's Mega OIS optical image stabilisation which allows you to capture sharp images at slow shutter speeds without a tripod or flash. The camera is also a snappy performer speedwise, but photographers with a critical eye will pause at the less than stellar photo quality Read more

Canon Digital IXUS Wireless review

Canon has created a boon for remote-shooting fans with its Digital IXUS Wireless, a 5-megapixel ultracompact that is basically an IXUS 50 with a slightly different body and a built-in Wi-Fi transmitter. It also features a 51mm LCD, limited manual control, snappy shooting performance and middle-of-the-road image quality Read more

Canon Digital IXUS 60 review

Canon has put substance before style with the simple yet functional Digital IXUS 60, a 6-megapixel point-and-shoot camera that's light on features but heavy on image quality, performance and usability Read more

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T9 review

Amateurs will appreciate the T9's ease of use, and discerning photographers will love the 6-megapixel model's above-average image quality and responsive performance. While a less-than-wide lens and poor red-eye behaviour will mar some indoor portraits, everyone will love the camera's 64mm LCD screen, its thin body and its image stabilisation Read more

Nikon Coolpix P3 review

'Wi-Fi' is the word for the 8-megapixel Nikon Coolpix P3 -- this compact point-and-shoot incorporates an internal transmitter for uploading pictures to a nearby computer or printer. But it's the P3's excellent image quality that impresses us most. With optical vibration reduction, the P3 is a great casual shooter Read more

Nikon Coolpix P1 review

The P2 delivers good image quality and a familiar Nikon interface, but its Wi-Fi capabilities are not up to much -- you can't email or Web-post pics, only transfer them to a nearby computer or printer, which is quicker over USB anyway Read more

Nikon Coolpix L1 review

A 6-megapixel, bare-bones, pocket-size camera that delivers very good photos for snapshooters who don't mind the slightly high price. A compact and attractive camera, it's fairly lightweight and features a zoom rocker and a four-way directional pad that doubles as a control for flash, timer, macro focus and exposure compensation Read more
