Fujifilm FinePix F200EXR review
The FinePix F200EXR is a great camera, but it's Fujifilm's new EXR sensor that's the star of the show, capturing a level of detail that can't be matched by rivals. The controls can be confusing and you might notice some barrel distortion, but overall, the F200EXR sets new standards for compact-camera performance Read more

Samsung ST1000 review
The 12.2-megapixel ST1000 is a classy camera, with a great design and top-notch, ultra-high-resolution touchscreen. The real stars of the show, though, are its Wi-Fi, bluetooth and GPS features. We've seen wireless cameras before, but Samsung's finally shown how it should be done Read more

Samsung NV9 review
The NV9 is a very tempting 10-megapixel super-slim camera. It offers far more than you'd expect for its £120 price, including an attractively finished and robust metal body, a 5x zoom, a built-in MP3 player and surprisingly good picture quality. It's not perfect but, for the price, it's pretty close Read more

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX37 review
The Panasonic FX37 may just look like a normal digital camera, but its compact body is full of impressive features, most notably the 5x optical wideangle zoom lens and the Intelligent ISO system, which combine to turn out high-quality images. It's one of the smartest cameras on the market Read more

Canon PowerShot G11 review
The pro-orientated, 10-megapixel PowerShot G11 is expensive and heavy, but it's one of the best serious compacts on the market. Its cast-iron body and chunky external dials are excellent, its image quality is good, and its 5x wideangle zoom is sharp right through its focal range and right to the edges of the frame, too Read more

Casio Exilim EX-FC100 review
Particularly suited to action photography, the 9-megapixel Exilim EX-FC100 offers continuous shooting speeds that are out of this world, as well as plenty of other hi-tech tricks. It also takes good photos, which makes up for the fact that it's not the most beautiful camera in the world Read more

Olympus mju 5000 review
The 12-megapixel mju 5000 is an extremely stylish and well-made compact camera. With unusual but excellent controls, a 5x zoom and 8 frames per second shooting, it's also a pleasure to use and takes great pictures. We're not entirely sold on the supported memory-card formats though 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

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FS25 review
The 12-megapixel Lumix DMC-FS25 provides the chance to get all the usual Panasonic tech in a cheaper, but still very decent, package. Detail in its pictures lacks bite, but the results are still good, and the design is robust and efficient, making for a worthwhile compact camera overall Read more

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX40 review
When you start using the 12-megapixel Lumix DMC-FX40, you'll realise why it's pricey -- the build quality and design are outstanding. Picture definition could be better, but the FX40 comes pretty close to being the perfect travel camera, thanks to a very versatile 5x super-wideangle lens Read more
