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

Casio Exilim Pro EX-P505 review
Photo cameras make poor camcorders, and camcorders take terrible photos. However, Casio's Exilim Pro EX-P505 does inch us closer to a device that's equally adept with both functions Read more

Canon Digital IXUS 50 review
If you're looking for an ultracompact snapshot camera and don't need manual controls, lots of scene modes or a powerful electronic flash, the marginally better image quality of this unit over its IXUS 40 predecessor may lure you into the Canon fold 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

Canon PowerShot A700 review
The compact Canon PowerShot A700 offers abundant manual controls, respectable image quality and acceptable ISO 800 performance, appealing to both the enthusiast photographer or serious beginner who wants some control over exposure and focus.

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 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
