Sony Cyber-shot DSC-TX5 review

The 10.2-megapixel Cyber-shot DSC-TX5 super-slim camera doesn't look particularly rugged, but it can take a fair old beating. It's also versatile and packed with useful and clever features, while its image quality isn't bad either. In a crowded marketplace, it really stands out Read more

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T900 review

The 12-megapixel, touchscreen Cyber-shot DSC-T900 is expensive, but it's easy to see where your money's gone. Despite a few design quirks, it looks great, packs in plenty of hi-tech features and, most importantly, delivers good results, both in terms of stills and hi-def movies 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

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FT1 review

Other ruggedised compact cameras might be tougher, but the 12-megapixel Lumix DMC-FT1 is very well specified for its class, with a 4.6x wideangle zoom and hi-def movie mode, making it a great all-rounder. If versatility is more important to you than having the hardest camera available, it'll be worth a gander Read more

Nikon Coolpix P6000 review

Nikon's 13.5-megapixel P6000 looks so good on paper you might wonder whether you need a digital SLR at all. Its sensor matches the pixel count of any low-medium range dSLR, its 4x zoom is more than the average kit lens, it shoots raw files, has a full set of exposure modes and there's vibration reduction too Read more

Nikon Coolpix S620 review

The 12-megapixel Coolpix S620 is compact, responsive and pleasant to use, providing a better overall experience than its big brother, the S630. The smile- and blink-detection modes are slightly confusing, but this speedy camera is great for taking impromptu shots, and an appealing device overall Read more

Canon IXUS 130 review

The 14.1-megapixel IXUS 130 compact camera is a thing of beauty, with a supremely elegant and satisfying design. Highly pocketable and easy to use, it's an extremely practical camera too. Its picture quality is average, but those seeking a small camera with real class should check it out Read more

Nikon Coolpix S610 review

It's hard to stand out from the crowd, especially since it's become easier to pack gadgets full of features these days. The compact Nikon Coolpix S610 is no exception with a 10-megapixel sensor, image stabilisation, a 4x wideangle zoom, face, smile and blink detection and a nifty automatic scene mode selection Read more

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-TX1 review

Although its photos are fairly ordinary, the 10.2-megapixel Cyber-shot DSC-TX1 is a very impressive fusion of style and technology. Among the clever features up its super-slim sleeve are its full-resolution high-speed shooting, excellent low-light mode and touchscreen interface Read more

Nikon Coolpix S3000 review

The 12-megapixel Coolpix S3000 is a good little compact camera for a budget price. If you want cutting-edge tech, look elsewhere, but, if you want a pocket-friendly snapper that's easy to use, attractive and capable of taking decent photos, it may well fit the bill. Its 4x wide-angle zoom is handy too Read more
