Fujifilm FinePix XP30 review

The Fujifilm FinePix XP30 rugged camera is easy to use, fairly tough and cheaper than most of its rivals. When it comes to picture quality, though, it often leaves something to be desired. Read more

The Samsung's strength is its combination of features, performance and value for money. It's not the best-handling high-end compact, but it does the job. The question is: do cameras like this have a future when they're up against a new generation of big-sensor hybrids? Read more

Fujifilm FinePix F300EXR review

This camera's great zoom range, metal build and cracking LCD screen are occasionally let down by rather dull, listless images lacking in contrast. The Fujifilm FinePix F300EXR's noisy zoom and overly sensitive mic are also considerable pitfalls. Read more

Panasonic Lumix DMC-G2 review

The 12.1-megapixel Lumix DMC-G2 is a great Micro Four Thirds camera. It feels very well made and it shoots vivid, sharp pictures. Its heaps of complicated features can make it disorientating to use, but there's plenty to get your teeth stuck into, and the touchscreen is a welcome extra Read more

Canon PowerShot S95 review

The Canon PowerShot S95 is a high-performance snapshot camera that doesn't claim to be an alternative to a dSLR, but costs almost as much. You're paying for a smaller form factor, solid feature set and equally solid build. Read more

Samsung ST5500 review

The 14.2-megapixel Samsung ST5500 offers the double whammy of a huge 3.7-inch touchscreen at the back and retractable 7x optical zoom at the front, making for a surprisingly able point-and-shoot. Read more
