Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ6 review

The 10.1-megapixel Lumix DMC-TZ6, with a super-wideangle 12x zoom, is a really rather special compact camera. Other cameras may be smaller, cheaper or offer more manual control, but excellent picture quality, a superb build and finish, and fantastic versatility mean the TZ6 is difficult to beat Read more

Canon EOS 1000D review

The Canon EOS 1000D reflects the narrowing gap between compacts and digital SLRs. With its lightweight build and 10.1-megapixel CMOS sensor, the dSLR is an unintimidating camera. Will its compact-style features pack enough punch to sway buyers from other entry-level shooters? Read more

Olympus mju-7040 review

The 14-megapixel mju-7040 is an attractive and flexible compact camera, packing a speedy 7x wide-angle zoom into a diminutive body. Its 2GB of internal storage, one-click 720p movie-recording mode and in-built photo-browsing software are useful too Read more

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W55 review

This budget digital camera is a £10 upgrade to the Cyber-shot DSC-W35, which buys you a nice brushed-metal fascia and a larger LCD screen. It's not the most exciting camera in the world, but its clear and pleasing photos make it worth a gander Read more

Olympus E-420 review

Olympus' entry-level dSLR is the world's smallest and lightest digital SLR. An upgrade of the E-410, the E-420 boasts a larger, better, 69mm LCD, improved autofocus in live view mode, face detection and slightly faster continuous shooting Read more

Canon EOS 450D review

The Canon EOS 450D delivers hands-down, best-in-class photo quality. Its colour accuracy, dynamic range and consistently good noise clearly put this 12-megapixel model in front of the pack, even though its features and design do little to impress. It's certainly worth the price hike over its rivals Read more

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ7 review

Compared to digital SLRs and some other superzoom cameras, the small, lightweight 6-megapixel Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ7 feels almost like a toy. But with its 12x optically stabilised lens, manual controls, extended selection of scene modes and VGA movie capture, it's clear that its capabilities far outstrip its size and weight Read more

Canon Digital IXUS 970 IS review

When it comes to performance, you can't go wrong with a Canon. The Canon Digital IXUS 970 IS follows a long line of accurate and sharp point-and-shoot compacts. Adding a long 5x optical zoom, its speedy results are complemented by detailed, crisp images Read more

Canon PowerShot S90 review

The 10-megapixel PowerShot S90 is brilliant. At last, we have a compact camera that really does have dSLR-style features, really does approach dSLR image quality and really will fit in your pocket. As well as offering a straightforward interface, it's extremely well-built and elegant to boot Read more
