Pentax Optio S12 review

A new edition to the S series of ultracompacts, the Pentax Optio S12 is small but solid. Packing a whopping 12 megapixels into its ultracompact body as well as a crisp 64mm (2.5-inch) screen, this camera will give you natural and realistic images for an excellent price Read more

Olympus Tough TG-310 review

The ruggedised Olympus Tough TG-310 is certainly a robust camera, but there are plenty of more resilient models out there. Its average performance and some usability issues don't do much to further this camera's cause. Read more

Pentax Optio RZ18 review

At £160 the Pentax Optio RZ18 superzoom's sharp, colourful pictures are far better than its price and build quality might lead you to expect. Read more

Pentax Optio Z10 review

It's not easy for a camera company to make a small, good-looking camera that takes nice pictures. With its sliding lens cover design, the Pentax Optio Z10 favours a long 7x optical zoom lens and nice image quality -- all excellent qualities for a pocketable compact camera Read more

Olympus C-770 Ultra Zoom review

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

Fujifilm FinePix F550EXR review

A list of features as long as your arm and an equally lengthy optical zoom all work in the Fujifilm FinePix F550EXR's favour. But this superzoom has a number of flaws that prevent it from achieving greatness. Read more

Canon Digital IXUS 80 IS review

The Canon Digital IXUS 80 IS adds optical image stabilisation while keeping the impressive image quality of its predecessor, the Digital IXUS 70. With 8 megapixels at the ready, the IXUS 80 IS does well in providing photos with warm, sharp colours Read more

Canon Digital IXUS 75 review

Don't look directly at it, or the Canon Digital IXUS 75 will hypnotise you. Any worries you might have over its price tag, lack of features and average megapixels and zoom will be eased by its massive screen and smart styling. You've been sufficiently warned -- this camera is a charmer Read more

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FS37 review

The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FS37 isn't quite a superzoom, but it's larger and more expensive than many compacts, offering a useful balance of performance and versatility. It looks pretty smart while it's at it, too. Read more
