Nikon Coolpix L1 review

A 6-megapixel, bare-bones, pocket-size camera that delivers very good photos for snapshooters who don't mind the slightly high price. A compact and attractive camera, it's fairly lightweight and features a zoom rocker and a four-way directional pad that doubles as a control for flash, timer, macro focus and exposure compensation Read more

Panasonic Lumix DMC-LZ3 review

The DMC-LZ3 features a 5-megapixel resolution, 6x optical zoom, optical image stabilisation and numerous ways to control image capture. It fares moderately well in bright environments, but poor performance and average photo quality lessen the allure of this attractively priced model Read more

Nikon Coolpix S4 review

Resurrecting the swivel lens after nearly three years, the S4 comes in a compact package, with 6-megapixel resolution, a 10x zoom lens, a 64mm LCD, and Nikon's signature ease-of-use features. But a lack of manual controls makes this a poor choice for shooting indoors Read more

Nikon Coolpix P1 review

The P2 delivers good image quality and a familiar Nikon interface, but its Wi-Fi capabilities are not up to much -- you can't email or Web-post pics, only transfer them to a nearby computer or printer, which is quicker over USB anyway Read more

Olympus u [mju:] Digital 800 review

With 8 megapixels, aperture- and shutter-priority exposure controls and a top-notch built-in help guide, the compact, 3x-zoom mju Digital 800 sits solidly at the top of Olympus' weather-resistant-camera lineup. It's also one of the smallest and most affordable 8-megapixel cameras on the market Read more

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX550 review

The 12.1-megapixel Lumix DMC-FX550 compact camera offers a surprising amount of manual control and oozes hi-tech features, including a touchscreen interface and 5x super-wide zoom. It's also capable of shooting decent pictures, and offers decent value for money too 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

Olympus u [mju:] 1000 review

The sleek but sturdy Olympus mju 1000 offers high-resolution images, a water-resistant metal body and a 64mm screen. This compact has some nice features and picture quality can be good, but noise issues and slow performance could mean poorer photos in low light Read more
