Pentax Optio S5n review

From the compact size and the tweedle-beep that it makes on start-up to the bright contrasty LCD and the icon-based menus, the 5-megapixel Optio S5n is a cute little camera that'll find a home in your heart as well as your pocket. Read more

Kodak EasyShare V610 review

With the EasyShare V610, Kodak takes its innovative dual-lens camera design to its logical conclusion by pairing a typical compact-camera zoom lens with a second 130mm-to-380mm lens for an effective 10x optical zoom range. The V610 also features a large 71mm LCD, impressive for a pocketable compact Read more

Nikon Coolpix S5 review

Nikon's Coolpix S5 is a slim, attractive 6-megapixel ultracompact camera that is a winner in design terms. Its 64mm LCD screen, satin silver finish and internally zooming 3x optical lens will be a hit with style-conscious casual photographers, and its iPod-style scrolling click wheel provides users with an easy interface Read more

Kodak EasyShare Z7590 review

On paper, the Kodak EasyShare Z7590 looks great -- 10x optical zoom and a host of shooting modes seems very good value for £250. But mediocre image quality spoils the fun, with a wide variety of digital artefacts reducing the camera's desirability Read more

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ7 review

Compared to digital SLRs and some other superzoom cameras, the small, lightweight 6-megapixel Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ7 feels almost like a toy. But with its 12x optically stabilised lens, manual controls, extended selection of scene modes and VGA movie capture, it's clear that its capabilities far outstrip its size and weight Read more

Nikon Coolpix S10 review

Nikon's Coolpix S10 is a stylish superzoom camera with an iconic swivel design. It features an excellent 10x optical zoom lens and sports a 6-megapixel CCD sensor with sensor-shift image stabilisation, to help keep that long lens steady. It's an attractive offering and produces good images, but some may find it lacking in advanced controls Read more

Canon PowerShot S3 IS review

An upgrade to 6 megapixels and a 51mm LCD from the lovely PowerShot S2 IS, the S3 IS fast and responsive with a flip and twist LCD and a high-quality lens with effective optical image stabilisation. Its combination of features, performance and relatively compact design certainly gives superzoom fans a compelling alternative Read more

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX9 review

A slim, beautifully built pocket camera boasting Panasonic's Mega OIS optical image stabilisation which allows you to capture sharp images at slow shutter speeds without a tripod or flash. The camera is also a snappy performer speedwise, but photographers with a critical eye will pause at the less than stellar photo quality Read more
