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

Olympus u [mju:] Digital 800 review

With 8 megapixels, aperture- and shutter-priority exposure controls and a top-notch built-in help guide, the compact, 3x-zoom mju Digital 800 sits solidly at the top of Olympus' weather-resistant-camera lineup. It's also one of the smallest and most affordable 8-megapixel cameras on the market Read more

Olympus IR-300 review

The 5-megapixel IR-300 is a very compact, pocketable camera that aims to be simple and accessible. It's attractive and sensibly designed, but the smallish LCD, complicated menus, low-resolution 320x240-pixel movie mode and occasional problems with colour fidelity make it difficult to recommend Read more

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-S40 review

The DSC-S40 makes one compromise to hit such a low price -- its screen is only 38mm across. Otherwise, though, it has an impressive roster of features and capabilities, including a 4.1-megapixel sensor, a Carl Zeiss 3x zoom lens, two burst modes, strong battery life and fast response times Read more

Kodak EasyShare V550 review

With its ice-blue indicator lights and flying-saucer-shaped dock, the 5-megapixel Kodak EasyShare V550 brings some UFO style to Kodak's point-and-shoot cameras. Equipped with friendly features, a 64mm LCD and 3x optical zoom, the V550 will appeal to those who want portability and simplicity wrapped in an attractive package Read more

Pentax Optio S5z review

The Optio S5z is a direct update of the smart little S5n, and is very similar -- except for the extra 13mm of LCD screen on the back. Other changes include a battery charger instead of the Optio S5n's docking station and a new Comment function that leaves a blank strip along the bottom of your photo 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
