Casio Exilim EX-F1 review

If you've ever missed a great photo waiting for automatic focus or a flash, you'll know the importance of high-speed shooting. Casio's Exilim EX-F1 takes it to the extreme, capable of capturing up to 60 full-resolution snaps -- or a mind-boggling 1,200 low-res pics -- in a single second Read more

Canon Digital IXUS 800 IS review

The Canon Digital IXUS 800 IS is a very strong, compact digital camera that produces great pictures. Its price is slightly high compared to that of its little siblings, the IXUS 60 and IXUS 65, but its great image stabilisation and subsequent blur-free photos are worth the extra few quid Read more

Fujifilm FinePix S6500fd review

The 6-megapixel Fujifilm FinePix S6500fd isn't the longest superzoom by any means -- its 10x zoom only just qualifies it for the category. But size isn't everything, and with some excellent dSLR-like features, the S6500 is an attractive package -- especially at its current price Read more

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H2 review

Sony's Cyber-shot DSC-H2, is the follow-up model to the H1 and is more in step with the rest of the marchers. Its 12x zoom lens now carries the Carl Zeiss moniker, resolution has been bumped up to 6 megapixels and sensitivity has been stretched all the way out to ISO 1,000 Read more

Waterproof to a depth of 1.5m, this compact, 5-megapixel point-and-shoot camera is ideal for snorkelling, swimming and other aquatic fun. A few performance issues aside, the slim Pentax Optio WP delivers plenty of user-friendly features and perfectly acceptable snapshot image quality Read more

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T9 review

Amateurs will appreciate the T9's ease of use, and discerning photographers will love the 6-megapixel model's above-average image quality and responsive performance. While a less-than-wide lens and poor red-eye behaviour will mar some indoor portraits, everyone will love the camera's 64mm LCD screen, its thin body and its image stabilisation 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

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
