Olympus IR-500 review

The IR-500 may be a limited digicam, with only a 4-megapixel sensor and a 2.8x optical zoom lens, but it presents its captured pictures and video on its lovely 64mm LCD in a bewildering variety of ways -- it has nine PowerPoint-like transition effects, including zoom, faders, swivels and Venetian blinds and sorted by shooting date as a visual diary Read more

Nikon Coolpix S4 review

Resurrecting the swivel lens after nearly three years, the S4 comes in a compact package, with 6-megapixel resolution, a 10x zoom lens, a 64mm LCD, and Nikon's signature ease-of-use features. But a lack of manual controls makes this a poor choice for shooting indoors Read more

Olympus FE-120 review

Although it lacks gor-blimey features and manual controls, the Olympus FE-120 offers budget-minded snapshot photographers decent image quality and a street price that qualifies as a genuine bargain for a 6-megapixel camera Read more

Nikon Coolpix S2 review

Tiny size, acceptable but not outstanding image quality, and a lack of manual controls make the ultracompact Nikon Coolpix S2 a fine choice for snapshot photographers who want a good selection of fun features 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 5900 review

A smattering of cor-blimey features lifts this compact point-and-shoot model above the 5-megapixel crowd, including Face-Priority Autofocus, a post-shot shadow-brightening tool, help features and blur detection. A poor low-light autofocus and an inaccurate optical viewfinder will disappoint, however Read more

Fujifilm FinePix S9500 Zoom review

Fujifilm's FinePix S9500 shows just how close digital SLR wannabes are getting to the real thing. This is one EVF-equipped camera that can compete in both the SLR and non-SLR arenas. It boasts a 10.7x optical zoom and 9 megapixels, but it can't quite compete with the real thing on image quality Read more

Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX1 review

Aside from its 8-megapixel resolution, the compact Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX1 justifies its premium price with a vast array of boiling-hot features, including the world's first incorporation of a 16:9 CCD imager, a crisp 4x Leica zoom lens, and a nimble optical stabilisation system. It's a portable for those serious about their photography Read more

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W5 review

Decent image quality, a versatile burst mode and convenient AA battery power make this Sony suitable for photo fans who want a pocketable camera with a useful set of features. Limited manual control and too many features hidden in the menus are among the few problems Read more

Nikon Coolpix 4800 review

Outgrown your point-and-shoot compact? Not ready to commit to the expense and complication of a dSLR? The Coolpix 4800 could hold the answer. Its 8.3x digital zoom offers plenty of scope without making the whole thing too bulky, and the image quality is great for a 4-megapixel shooter Read more
