Sony Cyber-shot DSC-TX5 review
The 10.2-megapixel Cyber-shot DSC-TX5 super-slim camera doesn't look particularly rugged, but it can take a fair old beating. It's also versatile and packed with useful and clever features, while its image quality isn't bad either. In a crowded marketplace, it really stands out Read more

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T900 review
The 12-megapixel, touchscreen Cyber-shot DSC-T900 is expensive, but it's easy to see where your money's gone. Despite a few design quirks, it looks great, packs in plenty of hi-tech features and, most importantly, delivers good results, both in terms of stills and hi-def movies Read more

Canon Digital IXUS 700 review
We really enjoyed shooting with the Canon Digital IXUS 700. It has an exterior design that combines form and function more elegantly than any point-and-shoot we've ever tested Read more

Pentax Optio S12 review
A new edition to the S series of ultracompacts, the Pentax Optio S12 is small but solid. Packing a whopping 12 megapixels into its ultracompact body as well as a crisp 64mm (2.5-inch) screen, this camera will give you natural and realistic images for an excellent price 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

Nikon Coolpix S230 review
The 10-megapixel Coolpix S230 ultra-compact camera offers all of the point-and-shoot basics in a stylish package. It also has an intuitive touchscreen that helps it stand out from the crowd, while picture quality is generally good. It could be speedier, but the S230 is a decent snapper overall Read more

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FS15 review
The 12.1-megapixel Lumix DMC-FS15 ultra-compact camera isn't the fastest snapper in the world, so it's not great for capturing moving subjects. Its pictures aren't flaw-free either. But it does offer spot-on features for the price, and it's a good choice if you just want to take everyday snapshots Read more

Canon Digital IXUS 80 IS review
The Canon Digital IXUS 80 IS adds optical image stabilisation while keeping the impressive image quality of its predecessor, the Digital IXUS 70. With 8 megapixels at the ready, the IXUS 80 IS does well in providing photos with warm, sharp colours Read more
