Olympus mju Tough-8000 review

If you're looking for a compact camera that can withstand extraordinary levels of abuse, you might want to check out the mju Tough-8000, particularly as it also functions perfectly well as an everyday camera. The lens could be sharper but, otherwise, you have to look pretty hard to find any flaws with this beast Read more

Fujifilm FinePix F50fd review

The Fujifilm FinePix F50fd is a high-end, premium compact digital camera: 12-megapixel sensor, mechanical image stabilisation, 69mm high-resolution screen and a top-notch face-detection system. It's worth the premium, with a barrel of features and excellent images 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

The Lumix DMC-FX100 is Panasonic's entry into this year's 12-megapixel compact camera derby, and distinguishes itself by including a zoom lens with a 28mm wide-angle setting, lens-shift stabilisation and 3.6x optical zoom Read more

Fujifilm FinePix F60fd review

With a big 76mm (3-inch) LCD screen and features such as face detection and scene recognition, the Fujifilm FinePix F60fd is a good little compact. The picture quality is good, turning out crisp shots, but we must say we were bogged down in fiddly, often counter-intuitive controls Read more

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

Kodak EasyShare V1253 review

The Kodak EasyShare V1253 is one of the slimmer and simpler 12-megapixel compacts on the market. It has the ability to shoot 720p HD movies, and while it lacks optical image stabilisation, it has 23 scene modes that produce well-saturated colours and pleasing pictures for most snapshooters Read more

Pentax Optio A40 review

We associate Pentax compacts with cheery, child-like styling, but the top-of-the-range Optio A40 is striving to be taken rather more seriously. Optical image stabilisation, a 12-megapixel resolution, fast performance and excellent image quality all bolster its case -- it's still cute, though Read more

Olympus FE-300 review

The Olympus FE-300 is one of the lightest, least-expensive 12-megapixel compact cameras. Despite its small size, its controls are easily accessible and comfortable. Plus, it includes Perfect Shot Preview, which helps you take a shot without much trial and error. Sounds perfect Read more
