Editors' choice Panasonic Lumix DMC-GF1 review

Panasonic Lumix DMC-GF1 review

Part of a new breed of camera that aims to combine the image quality and features of a digital SLR with the convenience of a compact, the 12.1-megapixel Lumix DMC-GF1 is a tantalising proposition. It costs a packet, but its photos are excellent and its build quality is really something special Read more

Ricoh GXR review

The modular GXR camera system is barmy, using interchangeable lens units that also house a sensor and image-processing engine. But it's also brilliant -- its components are superbly constructed, it offers dSLR levels of versatility, and its image quality is generally very good Read more

Ricoh GX200 review

The GX200's 69mm LCD screen packs in an amazing 460,000 pixels, twice the resolution of most -- and that's just one example of the top-end features this camera has despite its small size. Its focal length is also wider than usual, meaning it'll be good if you're into landscape and travel photography Read more

Casio Exilim EX-FH100 review

The 10.1-megapixel Exilim EX-FH100 is a compact superzoom with a twist. As well as a 10x zoom range, it can shoot photos at up to 40 frames per second and movies at up to 1,000fps. That makes it a good choice if you're in the habit of shooting action scenes Read more

Casio Exilim EX-FS10 review

Judged solely as a stills camera, the 9-megapixel Exilim EX-FS10 is too expensive. But it's really all about capturing movement and action, and it does that remarkably well, thanks to some truly unique and startlingly effective high-speed shooting technology Read more

Sony NEX-3 review

The 14.2-megapixel NEX-3 is a good option for those seeking a compact camera with interchangeable lenses. It's about £100 cheaper than its big brother, the NEX-5, but there are no serious compromises, and it will probably suit novice shooters well Read more

Samsung ST550 review

Its pictures are fairly ordinary, but the 12.2-megapixel ST550 is a stunningly successful exercise in interface design. With a front-mounted touchscreen that makes taking self-portraits a piece of cake, a rear-mounted touchscreen that delivers haptic feedback, and a motion-sensitive menu system, it's a joy to use Read more

Sony NEX-5 review

The 14.2-megapixel NEX-5 aims to offer the image quality and interchangeable lenses of a digital SLR in a smaller, simpler body. If you're stepping up from a standard compact camera, you'll probably find this remarkably small and beautifully made snapper a real delight Read more

Fujifilm FinePix F70EXR review

Sporting Fujifilm's EXR sensor, the 10-megapixel FinePix F70EXR compact superzoom with 10x wideangle zoom is capable of delivering some truly impressive pictures, particularly in low light. It's sometimes susceptible to colour fringing, but its size, build and handling are all great Read more

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W380 review

The 14.1-megapixel Cyber-shot DSC-W380 doesn't seem like the most exciting compact camera when you look at its specs, but, when you actually use it, it impresses with its straightforward operation, great photos and satisfying build quality. It's surprisingly affordable too Read more
