Fujifilm Finepix Z100fd review
The Fujifilm FinePix Z100fd wears its biggest strengths on its sleeve: a decent-sized screen, fun scroll wheel and engaging looks. Under the bonnet, the scene modes and automatic settings are up to the average user's point-and-shoot needs, with a particularly impressive face detection system Read more

Nikon Coolpix 4800 review
Outgrown your point-and-shoot compact? Not ready to commit to the expense and complication of a dSLR? The Coolpix 4800 could hold the answer. Its 8.3x digital zoom offers plenty of scope without making the whole thing too bulky, and the image quality is great for a 4-megapixel shooter Read more

HP Photosmart R927 review
HP's Photosmart R927 comes with the assumption that the user knows nothing about photography. It might be the 8-megapixel flagship of the company's camera line, but with a menu and help system that's every bit as slick at its sculpted, brushed-aluminum casing, it doesn't require you to know anything to get started Read more

Olympus mju 1200 review
The Olympus mju 1200 certainly looks the part. It's a slimline, capable point-and-shoot for those more interested in style than photography. Under its glossy exterior, you'll find some basic features and quirky controls. If you're not bothered about manual options, take a gander Read more

Nikon Coolpix 5900 review
A smattering of cor-blimey features lifts this compact point-and-shoot model above the 5-megapixel crowd, including Face-Priority Autofocus, a post-shot shadow-brightening tool, help features and blur detection. A poor low-light autofocus and an inaccurate optical viewfinder will disappoint, however Read more

Nikon Coolpix S520 review
If price is a major deciding factor in your next digital camera purchase, the Nikon Coolpix S520 is a solid-gold hit. Priced affordably, it's also the epitome of point-and-shoot compacts -- simple features and performance that boasts maximum ease and minimum effort Read more

Pentax Q review
The Pentax Q is the smallest interchangeable lens camera around, and while it has a dinky appeal, it doesn't perform as well as its rivals. Read more

Nikon Coolpix L11 review
Some budget digital cameras offer surprisingly good picture quality for very little money, such as the Nikon Coolpix L11, a simple, easy-to-use 6-megapixel point-and-shoot that produces very acceptable pictures for under £100 Read more

Fujifilm FinePix S2000HD review
The Fujifilm FinePix S2000HD is at the top of the line when it comes to superzooms, packing a 10-megapixel resolution screen and a 15x optical zoom. It's available now for around £220, and handles very well, with a chunky grip but a relatively compact feel. As with most Fujifilms, the controls are a bit fiddly, however Read more
