Canon Digital IXUS 900 Ti review
Stylish without being inconvenient or awkward, the 10-megapixel Canon Digital IXUS 900 Ti is just the right size to fit into a jacket pocket. It produces very solid photos with nicely saturated colours. But while it's heavy on style, it's pretty light on features that its siblings offer Read more

Canon Digital IXUS 850 IS review
Last spring, Canon impressed us with its stylish high-end shooter, the 6-megapixel Digital IXUS 800 IS. It had a great lens and produced great images, all in an attractive, pocketable, metal body. With the follow-up Digital IXUS 850 IS, Canon improves upon its previous design by squeezing in a wider lens and a higher resolution sensor Read more

Olympus FE-190 review
With a small frame and a smaller price tag, the Olympus FE-190 hopes to attract the fashionably frugal. This 6-megapixel digicam doesn't offer the manual controls more advanced photographers desire, but its other aspects make up for its automation, particularly its solid images Read more

Samsung Digimax L85 review
The Samsung Digimax L85 is a functional 8-megapixel digital camera. Its chunky, retro design belies its very flexible, high-end feature set, including the unique ability to output HDMI. As long as you don't mind its propensity for fringing on edges and the lack of a fast burst mode, you'll find the Samsung Digimax L85 a versatile, quality shooter Read more

Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ3 review
The Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ3 puts a lot of lens into a small package -- 10x optical zoom, plus optical image stabilisation, as well as a 76mm LCD display, make it a serious superzoom for under £250. It also boasts excellent performance, although it has some minor image quality issues Read more

Casio Exilim EX-S770 review
This slim and attractive 7-megapixel point-and-shoot camera offers great control with a wider than usual LCD. Casio's Best Shot modes give users more than two dozen scene presets and while the Quick Shot mode takes some getting used to, you'll soon be taking fast, focused photos Read more

Canon PowerShot A470 review
Solid budget models are becoming less expensive and offering better performance -- the Canon PowerShot A470 is one of the best examples of this trend. It isn't the prettiest camera available and it doesn't have any flashy features, but for the price, it's fast and it produces surprisingly good pictures Read more

Canon PowerShot A640 review
With lots of manual settings and a reasonably low price tag, Canon's PowerShot A640 looks appealing. Though it lacks the flexibility of higher-end cameras and the stylish portability of more compact shooters, the 10-megapixel A640 is a smart, fully featured camera with some surprising benefits -- like a fold-out LCD Read more
