Sony Cyber-shot DSC-N2 review

Sony's Cyber-shot DSC-N2 isn't especially stylish, but its big, 76mm touchscreen and its 10-megapixel sensor make it an attractive little compact as well as a worthy upgrade to the N1. The touchscreen-driven control scheme, however, results in a menu system that's awkward to use and a display that's not quite crisp or colourful enough to frame shots Read more

With a chunky-but-comfortable design, 7-megapixel sensor and 4x optical zoom lens, the A560 is a solid budget camera. Quick performance and decent photos make it a strong choice for the price Read more

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W55 review

This budget digital camera is a £10 upgrade to the Cyber-shot DSC-W35, which buys you a nice brushed-metal fascia and a larger LCD screen. It's not the most exciting camera in the world, but its clear and pleasing photos make it worth a gander Read more

Canon PowerShot A630 review

Canon's PowerShot A630 is an 8-megapixel version of its older sibling, the 10-megapixel A640, with an identical design. It's not a great shooter in low light, but otherwise it performs well for its class, with photographer-friendly manual settings and colourful, crisp images. If you're after a solid all-round point-and-shoot, you won't be disappointed 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

Samsung NV10 review

Part of Samsung's quirky, attractive NV series, the NV10 is an ultracompact 10-megapixel shooter with 3x optical zoom. Its Smart Touch interface takes some getting used to, but its vividly coloured images and impressive range of manual options certainly make it worth a look Read more

Olympus u [mju:] 760 review

The Olympus mju 760 is a good compact camera -- it's light and pocketable with logical, simple features and it comes in a choice of four colours. Its images aren't perfect but it's ideal for carrying with you wherever you go Read more

Canon Digital IXUS 800 IS review

The Canon Digital IXUS 800 IS is a very strong, compact digital camera that produces great pictures. Its price is slightly high compared to that of its little siblings, the IXUS 60 and IXUS 65, but its great image stabilisation and subsequent blur-free photos are worth the extra few quid Read more
