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

Olympus mju 790 SW review

The Olympus mju 790 SW is a compact that loves the active life. Waterproof and shockproof, it doesn't forsake smooth styling to be robust, and while the toughness will hit you in the pocket, Olympus hasn't skimped on photo quality or features 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

HP Photosmart R847 review

With its sliding lens cover, the HP Photosmart R847 reveals a great lens and a sturdy body that can take pictures up to ISO 1,600. You can also change sensitivity and even tweak your photos while they're in the camera, or just keep things automatic. After all, this is a camera designed to be easy to use Read more

Nikon Coolpix L10 review

The Nikon Coolpix L10 comes from a family of rock-bottom budget cameras, but they don't skim on performance. The L10 did well in our tests, both in shooting time and in keeping the noise levels under control. While this isn't a camera with lots of frills, it does its family proud as a simple point-and-shoot Read more

Casio Exilim EX-S12 review

If the 12-megapixel Exilim EX-S12 were any thinner, it'd be invisible. It's not just a looker though, as it also has more technological tricks up its sleeve than you'll ever have time to try. But those who want great image quality above all else might find they'd like to swap all the gadgetry for a better lens Read more

Casio Exilim EX-Z19 review

The Casio Exilim EX-Z19 is head-and-shoulders above most of the cameras in the sub-£100 bargain basement, thanks to excellent build quality, a wealth of tweakable shooting options and decent images. It may be short on specs, features and low-light performance, but for that price you can't go wrong Read more

Olympus mju 830 review

The Olympus mju 830 is no fair-weather friend. Its sturdy metal body with rubber seals means it's splashproof, and while you won't want to take it swimming, it can certainly withstand the weather. There's a wealth of scene modes available, helping to tick all the point-and-shoot boxes 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
