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

Olympus FE-180 review
Olympus's 6-megapixel FE-180 is a rare example of a camera with a well-built automatic system -- there are hardly any manual controls, but it still takes a decent image. Basically, the camera runs almost completely on autopilot. It's just the thing for a casual photographer on a budget Read more

Casio Exilim EX-Z70 review
This ultracompact 7-megapixel digital camera from Casio powers up in just 1.2 seconds and can take a shot every 1.3 seconds. A Quick Shot mode lets you snap off shots even more rapidly by foregoing focusing, but you may suffer some loss of image quality Read more

Canon PowerShot A430 review
The 4-megapixel Canon PowerShot A430 is an upgraded version of the bottom-of-the-line 3-megapixel A410, which it replaces as Canon's cheap, no-frills digital camera. Despite some irritating image-quality problems, the A430 is a nice, simple point-and-shoot camera with solid performance and a decent feature set Read more

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W50 review
The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W50 is a decent 6-megapixel ultracompact digital camera that makes up for its lack of controls with solid performance and image quality. Its compact form and easy operation make it an attractive offering for those wanting a camera they can keep on them at all times Read more

Nikon Coolpix L3 review
The Nikon Coolpix L3 is the midrange member of Nikon's simple, inexpensive L-series digital cameras. The 5-megapixel camera sports a 3x optical zoom lens, a handful of useful scene modes and a small price tag -- and this little shooter produces good-looking images for the price Read more

Fujifilm FinePix A600 review
The compact 6-megapixel A600 delivers decent photos for around £100. Some will like this archetypal budget snapshot camera -- a point-and-shoot with a simple feature set -- but others could be put off by the bulky design and limited control Read more

Nikon Coolpix L4 review
The £90 Coolpix L4 is the least expensive of Nikon's low-end L-series line of digital cameras. The L4 has a small, 4-megapixel sensor, a 3x optical zoom lens and a handful of scene preset modes but few high-end settings. Though slow and not very versatile, it produces some pretty good pictures for its budget price Read more

Samsung S1050 review
Just like the S850, the Samsung S1050 offers several features for more experienced photographers, with exposure controls that grant a great deal of flexibility. It also includes face-tracking autofocus and a huge 76mm (3-inch) LCD. With its 10 megapixels, the S1050 is certainly a more mature option Read more
