Canon Digital IXUS 980 IS review
Top dog for the moment, the Canon Digital IXUS 980 IS has the highest resolution in its family -- 15 megapixels. It delivers excellent photo quality, offers plenty of shooting options, and its looks are characteristic of Canon's recent willingness to play with design Read more

Canon Digital IXUS 120 IS review
The 12-megapixel Digital IXUS 120 IS is difficult to resist, thanks to its combination of a tiny, attractive body, simple operation, and generally very good photos. Occasionally, its images can suffer from purple fringing, and it can also be sluggish, but this is one of the better ultra-compacts on the market Read more

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W220 review
In order to keep the price down, Sony's trimmed the 12-megapixel Cyber-shot DSC-W220's features, but left enough in so that it's still a worthwhile proposition. Also offering fairly speedy performance and decent photo quality, this is a well-rounded and attractive compact camera Read more

Nikon Coolpix S70 review
The 12.1-megapixel Coolpix S70 is an expensive compact camera, which might lead you to expect better photo quality than you'll actually get. Photos are still very good, but you're really investing in the beautiful and responsive touchscreen and the slick design Read more

Canon PowerShot A495 review
The 10-megapixel PowerShot A495 is an affordable compact camera that offers good photos for the price. The biggest downside is its fairly slow shooting performance, but at this price you can't complain too much. It's very straightforward to use too Read more

Nikon Coolpix S230 review
The 10-megapixel Coolpix S230 ultra-compact camera offers all of the point-and-shoot basics in a stylish package. It also has an intuitive touchscreen that helps it stand out from the crowd, while picture quality is generally good. It could be speedier, but the S230 is a decent snapper overall Read more

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FS15 review
The 12.1-megapixel Lumix DMC-FS15 ultra-compact camera isn't the fastest snapper in the world, so it's not great for capturing moving subjects. Its pictures aren't flaw-free either. But it does offer spot-on features for the price, and it's a good choice if you just want to take everyday snapshots Read more

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W350 review
The 14.1-megapixel Cyber-shot DSC-W350 is a great point-and-shoot camera, with just enough features to justify its price, an attractive design and straightforward operation. Like most cameras in its class, moving subjects aren't its forte, but it's capable of taking some very good photos Read more

Nikon Coolpix S570 review
The 12-megapixel Coolpix S570 is a thoroughly respectable ultra-compact camera that feels more expensive than it is. For someone seeking a reasonably priced snapper for portrait and landscape shots, where speedy performance is less of an issue, the S570 should work well Read more

Canon PowerShot SX110 IS review
What the relatively compact, 9-megapixel PowerShot SX110 IS megazoom camera sacrifices in speed is more than made up for by its arguably best-in-class picture quality. It's also reasonably priced, and offers enough features to appeal to both inexperienced and seasoned users Read more
