Canon Digital IXUS 80 IS review

The Canon Digital IXUS 80 IS adds optical image stabilisation while keeping the impressive image quality of its predecessor, the Digital IXUS 70. With 8 megapixels at the ready, the IXUS 80 IS does well in providing photos with warm, sharp colours Read more

Samsung ST50 review

The 12-megapixel ST50 super-slim camera has a real air of quality about it, thanks to a weighty stainless-steel body and high-quality LCD display. With its 'smart auto' mode, the camera can also take care of all the picture settings for you, if you fancy giving your brain a rest Read more

Canon Digital IXUS 100 IS review

The super-slim, 12-megapixel Digital IXUS 100 IS is a gem. It's easy to use, attractively styled, supremely pocket-friendly and takes much better pictures than you'd expect for a camera of this size. While most of its ultra-compact rivals are cheaper, the 100 IS has class in abundance Read more

Pentax Optio S5z review

The Optio S5z is a direct update of the smart little S5n, and is very similar -- except for the extra 13mm of LCD screen on the back. Other changes include a battery charger instead of the Optio S5n's docking station and a new Comment function that leaves a blank strip along the bottom of your photo 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

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T7 review

The T7 is an anorexic supermodel of a camera, but the slim design is married to a lean feature set. The macro and magnifying glass modes and the 30fps VGA movie mode are excellent, but it lags behind the competition on user-friendliness Read more

Pentax Optio S5n review

From the compact size and the tweedle-beep that it makes on start-up to the bright contrasty LCD and the icon-based menus, the 5-megapixel Optio S5n is a cute little camera that'll find a home in your heart as well as your pocket. Read more

Casio Exilim EX-Z600 review

Slide this little camera out of your pocket, and people are sure to go gaga over its large and bright LCD. In typical Casio Exilim fashion, the 6-megapixel EX-Z600 is slender, stylish, highly portable and easy to use -- even for beginners. And with its budget-range price, you can spend the extra cash on more presents for yourself Read more
