Panasonic Lumix DMC-FS11 review

Panasonic's compact cameras are usually solidly built and well designed, and the 14.1-megapixel Lumix DMC-FS11 is no exception. While it's not the most versatile snapper in the world -- its pictures suffer from noise in low light -- it is highly pocketable, very simple to use and pretty affordable too Read more

Nikon Coolpix L2 review

The 6-megapixel Nikon Coolpix L2 offers only the bare necessities for picture taking but, for its class, delivers excellent photos that require minimal effort. The Coolpix L2 squarely targets casual photographers though, and more experienced users may be frustrated by the camera's lack of controls 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

Panasonic NV-GS500 review

Panasonic's NV-GS500 doesn't so much improve on the NV-GS400 as simplify it, however it does now have the ability to display widescreen video. It retains the same lens and trio, so videos and photos look almost identical, but many manual controls and features have either been moved to the menus or eliminated altogether Read more

Canon PowerShot A530 review

Though the A530 is a modest 5-megapixel step down from its 6-megapixel sibling, the A540, it still has almost all of the same handy features and produces very pretty images in well-lit environments. Unfortunately, it lacks the zippy performance and large LCD that help elevate the A540 above the crowd Read more

Nikon Coolpix L22 review

The compact, 12-megapixel Coolpix L22 with 3.6x zoom proves that budget cameras really can be good. Its lack of manual ISO control is a strange omission, but it's well made, simple to use and capable of taking some impressive photos, such as you might expect from a camera of twice the price Read more

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

Canon PowerShot SX210 IS review

The PowerShot SX210 IS isn't exactly strong on innovation, but it packs an impressive set of specs, including a class-leading 14x zoom and 14.1-megapixel resolution. As with most compact cameras, you won't get top-notch picture quality, but this camera does put plenty of power in your pocket Read more

Sigma SD15 review

The Sigma SD15 is an oddly eccentric fourth attempt at a high-end digital SLR by a manufacturer still better known for its accessories. Good results are achievable, but, by golly, you have to work for them. Read more

Nikon Coolpix P50 review

The Nikon Coolpix P50 has an old-fashioned, boxy feel with a helpful chunky grip. It's a solidly built, easy-to-use, nuts-and-bolts kind of camera. It offers a surprisingly high degree of control over image settings, and as a result its photos are excellent quality for the price Read more
