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

Ricoh GR Digital III review

With a fixed-focal-length lens and steep price tag, the 10-megapixel GR Digital III won't appeal to the average user. But photography professionals and enthusiasts who want a 'proper' camera in a compact body will be delighted with its rock-solid build and fantastic photo quality 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

Casio Exilim EX-FH25 review

At first glance, the 10.1-megapixel Exilim EX-FH25 superzoom doesn't look particularly great. It's expensive and its 20x zoom range is nothing to get a nosebleed over. But its high-speed shooting capability really sets this camera apart from the pack, and makes it a great choice for capturing action shots from afar 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

Olympus SP-590 UZ review

As superzooms go, the SP-590 UZ, with a 26x wideangle zoom, offers one of the best combinations of price, features, performance and picture quality that we've seen so far. It won't replace a digital SLR but, if you're looking for an ultimate do-it-all compact, the SP-590's definitely worth a look Read more

Olympus mju 9000 review

The 12-megapixel mju 9000 packs a 10x optical zoom into a body no bigger than that of the average compact camera, making it unusually pocket-friendly. It's also attractively finished, responsive and delivers good results, although it has a tendency towards overexposure Read more

Canon IXUS 300 HS review

The IXUS 300 HS is pricey for a compact camera, but it's a pocket-sized powerhouse. Its pictures are great, even at high ISOs, and its super-slow-motion movie mode is a real hoot. Its high-speed shooting modes are also decent. Overall, it's a very good camera Read more

Nikon Coolpix L110 review

The budget, 12.1-megapixel Coolpix L110 superzoom with 15x zoom makes you wonder whether more expensive models are sufficiently superior to warrant spending the extra moolah. With solid pictures, build quality and handling, it offers fantastic value for money 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
