Canon Digital IXUS 870 IS review
The 10-megapixel IXUS 870 IS is the follow-up to the popular 860 IS, and what a worthy successor it is. It's capable of producing truly excellent pictures for a camera of its size and it has excellent components for its price, including a wide-angle lens and optical image stabilisation Read more

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W220 review
In order to keep the price down, Sony's trimmed the 12-megapixel Cyber-shot DSC-W220's features, but left enough in so that it's still a worthwhile proposition. Also offering fairly speedy performance and decent photo quality, this is a well-rounded and attractive compact camera Read more

Canon PowerShot SX110 IS review
What the relatively compact, 9-megapixel PowerShot SX110 IS megazoom camera sacrifices in speed is more than made up for by its arguably best-in-class picture quality. It's also reasonably priced, and offers enough features to appeal to both inexperienced and seasoned users 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 Digital IXUS 120 IS review
The 12-megapixel Digital IXUS 120 IS is difficult to resist, thanks to its combination of a tiny, attractive body, simple operation, and generally very good photos. Occasionally, its images can suffer from purple fringing, and it can also be sluggish, but this is one of the better ultra-compacts on the market Read more

Samsung WB1000 review
The 12-megapixel WB1000 offers more control over your photos than the vast majority of other compact cameras, making it a good option for digital SLR users seeking a pocket snapper. Its photo quality and performance are what you'd expect from a compact, but it's a beautifully made machine Read more
