Panasonic Lumix DMC-FS30 review

The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FS30 is a competent compact camera, with an 8x zoom. There's nothing revolutionary about it, but it lets you point, shoot and get decent results with minimal fuss. Read more

Samsung ST6500 review

Although it struggles to differentiate itself from other Samsung models, such as the ST95, the ST6500 is a worthy touchscreen compact camera. It offers generally good picture quality and plenty of tools to play with too. Read more

Nikon Coolpix S4300 review

You name it, Nikon's simplified it. Could the Coolpix S4300 be the perfect beginner's camera? It certainly comes close. Read more

Pentax Optio WG-1 review

Tougher than old boots, the Pentax Optio WG-1 rugged camera is ready for almost anything. It takes a decent photo too, and comes with some useful bonus features. Read more

Nikon Coolpix S6150 review

Feature-packed and keenly priced, the Nikon Coolpix S6150 compact camera is a great choice for cash-conscious buyers. It's also well suited to those who would rather avoid the more technical side of photography. Read more

Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX5 review

The 10.1-megapixel Lumix DMC-LX5 is a compact and feature-packed camera that would make a good choice as a back-up for a digital SLR. The lack of a flash adjustment is a strange omission in a camera of this type, but it's worth a look if you need plenty of power in your pocket Read more

Nikon Coolpix S3100 review

The Nikon Coolpix S3100 is easy to carry, use and look at. But its image quality is pretty average, and you don't have to look hard to find other cameras that offer more features for less money. Read more

Fujifilm FinePix T200 review

The Fujifilm FinePix T200 compact superzoom offers better pictures than you might expect for the price. It's easy to use as well, and not unattractive. Read more

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ45 review

Despite a few shortcomings, the FZ45 superzoom offers excellent value. It resembles a dSLR put on a hot wash, but it's easier to use and packed full of the latest must-have features. It feels like we've seen much of what's on offer here before, however. Read more

Pentax Optio RS1500 review

The Pentax Optio RS1500's design won't suit everyone and the swappable skins are a gimmick, but it's fundamentally a very respectable budget camera. Its only real weakness is its poor build quality. Read more
