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

Olympus mju 1030SW review

The Olympus mju 1030SW is a very tough and rugged 10-megapixel compact camera. It works to water depths of 10m, can be dropped from 2m and can even withstand a 100kg force. The camera takes great pics and is perfect for use in extreme conditions. Menus are easy to navigate Read more

Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX5 review

The 10.1-megapixel Lumix DMC-LX5 is a compact and feature-packed camera that would make a good choice as a back-up for a digital SLR. The lack of a flash adjustment is a strange omission in a camera of this type, but it's worth a look if you need plenty of power in your pocket Read more

Olympus mju Tough-8000 review

If you're looking for a compact camera that can withstand extraordinary levels of abuse, you might want to check out the mju Tough-8000, particularly as it also functions perfectly well as an everyday camera. The lens could be sharper but, otherwise, you have to look pretty hard to find any flaws with this beast 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 NV24HD review

The Samsung NV24HD makes the best of the NV series' smart touch interface. The intuitive menu system does away with wading through menus and with two mode dials, you have plenty of control. Add in excellent image quality and you've got one enormously clever compact Read more

The Nikon Coolpix P5100 is a highly specced 12.1-megapixel camera, with impressive image quality. It packs SLR-style features into a compact frame and gives you great control over shooting. Image stabilisation is built into the lens and you also have the option of distortion control Read more

The Fujifilm FinePix F50fd is a high-end, premium compact digital camera: 12-megapixel sensor, mechanical image stabilisation, 69mm high-resolution screen and a top-notch face-detection system. It's worth the premium, with a barrel of features and excellent images Read more

Samsung NX10 review

The 14.6-megapixel NX10 is an impressive alternative to Micro Four Thirds cameras from Olympus and Panasonic. It works well, takes great pictures with the 18-55mm kit lens, and offers excellent value for money. As a smaller and lighter alternative to a digital SLR, it's well worth a perusal Read more
