Kodak EasyShare C875 review

Kodak succeeds in getting straight to the point with its EasyShare C875, the high-end member of the EasyShare C series of snapshot cameras. This solid 8-megapixel point-and-shoot doesn't have any outrageous gimmicks, but it produces good pictures and offers plenty of advanced controls 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

Samsung NV11 review

The Samsung NV11 is one sensitive camera. Instead of using a joypad or a touchscreen, this 10-megapixel camera uses touch sensor buttons at the bottom and right of its screen to navigate menus and settings. Using its snapshot-friendly features is as simple as a slide of your finger Read more

Canon PowerShot A550 review

With quick performance and decent photos, the Canon PowerShot A550 is a solid budget camera. It doesn't have many special features, but it's a strong choice if you don't want to spend a lot for your snapshots 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

Canon Digital IXUS 65 review

It may be small, but the Canon Digital IXUS 65 is fierce. This little 6-megapixel point-and-shoot manages to pack zippy performance and good photos into a package you can fit in your trouser pocket. A couple of small design issues don't stop it being a great compact camera Read more

Casio Exilim EX-Z1000 review

Casio's Exilim EX-Z1000 is the 10-megapixel follow up to the 8-megapixel Exilim EX-Z850, but with this model it's a case of swings and roundabouts. It forgoes the optical viewfinder, the manual exposure controls and the shooting flexibility of the EX-Z850 in favour of a 16:9-aspect ratio, a 71mm LCD and a more refined interface 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

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

Canon PowerShot A650 IS review

The Canon PowerShot A650 IS proves that you don't need to invest in a dSLR to get manual options and large, detailed pictures. Featuring 12 megapixels and a range of shooting modes, the A650 IS gives you a great opportunity to control your images than most compact cameras Read more
