Canon PowerShot A640 review
With lots of manual settings and a reasonably low price tag, Canon's PowerShot A640 looks appealing. Though it lacks the flexibility of higher-end cameras and the stylish portability of more compact shooters, the 10-megapixel A640 is a smart, fully featured camera with some surprising benefits -- like a fold-out LCD Read more

Fujifilm FinePix Real 3D W1 review
Fujifilm deserves a substantial pat on the back for creating the FinePix Real 3D W1. Not only does it function as a normal compact camera, but it can also use its two lenses to produce strikingly effective 3D images. This snapper's not without its downsides, but it's capable of some impressive results Read more

Nikon Coolpix S610 review
It's hard to stand out from the crowd, especially since it's become easier to pack gadgets full of features these days. The compact Nikon Coolpix S610 is no exception with a 10-megapixel sensor, image stabilisation, a 4x wideangle zoom, face, smile and blink detection and a nifty automatic scene mode selection Read more

Pentax Optio A30 review
An understated 10-megapixel compact, the Pentax Optio A30's cutesy menu system and fully automatic 'green mode' make this as user-friendly as lower-spec cameras in the Optio range. But with a high resolution and optical image stabilisation, this merits its higher price Read more

Ricoh CX3 review
The 10-megapixel CX3 is no ordinary compact superzoom -- it's packed with features aimed at true photo enthusiasts, rather than casual snapshooters. Its picture quality is limited by its small sensor, but its 10.7x zoom range is great, its LCD display is excellent and its 10mm macro mode is fantastic Read more

Olympus u [mju:] 1000 review
The sleek but sturdy Olympus mju 1000 offers high-resolution images, a water-resistant metal body and a 64mm screen. This compact has some nice features and picture quality can be good, but noise issues and slow performance could mean poorer photos in low light Read more

Nikon Coolpix L100 review
The 10-megapixel Coolpix L100 is a budget superzoom aimed at beginners. While it's got few frills and is easy to use, it also boasts a solid build and good picture quality. We're slightly baffled by the lack of manual ISO control, and the LCD could be better, but this is a decent camera otherwise Read more

Olympus SP-570 UZ review
The Olympus SP-570 UZ is an extremely promising superzoom, with the widest optical zoom range of any compact camera at 20x, plus built-in image stabilisation, a 1cm macro mode, full manual controls and the ability to shoot at an incredible ISO 6,400 -- and it's got a very tempting price tag too Read more
