Fujifilm FinePix S200EXR review

The 12-megapixel FinePix S200EXR offers the features, controls and handling of a digital SLR at a much lower price, and its EXR sensor technology means it outguns its superzoom rivals. We'd like to see the clever EXR features better integrated with the rest of the camera's controls, though 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

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

Panasonic Lumix DMC-G2 review

The 12.1-megapixel Lumix DMC-G2 is a great Micro Four Thirds camera. It feels very well made and it shoots vivid, sharp pictures. Its heaps of complicated features can make it disorientating to use, but there's plenty to get your teeth stuck into, and the touchscreen is a welcome extra 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

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

Canon Digital IXUS 100 IS review

The super-slim, 12-megapixel Digital IXUS 100 IS is a gem. It's easy to use, attractively styled, supremely pocket-friendly and takes much better pictures than you'd expect for a camera of this size. While most of its ultra-compact rivals are cheaper, the 100 IS has class in abundance Read more

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H20 review

Why carry around an ordinary compact if you can shoehorn a 10x superzoom into your pocket instead? Sony's new 10-megapixel Cyber-shot DSC-H20 also packs in a 720p HD movie mode, SteadyShot image stabilisation and manual shutter speed and aperture control Read more

Samsung NV100HD review

Despite some flaws, we are loving Samsung's £170 NV100HD super-sexy compact. Its elegant design is a welcomed departure from previous Samsung models, and, coupled with its amazing price and incredibly crisp screen, the NV100HD is a digital camera you can afford to take a chance on Read more

Fujifilm FinePix HS10 review

The 10.3-megapixel FinePix HS10 is expensive and chunky, but it's also one of the best superzooms on the market. Unlike many rivals, it maintains sharpness throughout its 30x zoom length, it handles well and it's responsive. Despite a few rough edges, its strengths far outweigh its weaknesses Read more
