Panasonic Lumix DMC-S3 review

The Panasonic Lumix DMC-S3 is by no means perfect, but it's still head and shoulders above most other budget compact cameras. It's also very light, and refreshingly easy to operate. Read more

Canon IXUS 130 review

The 14.1-megapixel IXUS 130 compact camera is a thing of beauty, with a supremely elegant and satisfying design. Highly pocketable and easy to use, it's an extremely practical camera too. Its picture quality is average, but those seeking a small camera with real class should check it out Read more

The Nikon Coolpix S2500 costs only £90, so you can't expect perfection. But this compact camera is small, easy to use, and offers pretty impressive performance and features for the price. Read more

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-TX7 review

The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-TX7 is capable of capturing colourful, detailed images. This compact camera's touchscreen controls are also clearly labelled and easily navigated, but we're not sure it's the best option in its price range. Read more
