Panasonic Lumix DMC-FT1 review

Other ruggedised compact cameras might be tougher, but the 12-megapixel Lumix DMC-FT1 is very well specified for its class, with a 4.6x wideangle zoom and hi-def movie mode, making it a great all-rounder. If versatility is more important to you than having the hardest camera available, it'll be worth a gander 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-W220 review

In order to keep the price down, Sony's trimmed the 12-megapixel Cyber-shot DSC-W220's features, but left enough in so that it's still a worthwhile proposition. Also offering fairly speedy performance and decent photo quality, this is a well-rounded and attractive compact camera Read more

Canon PowerShot A1100 IS review

The 12-megapixel PowerShot A1100 IS is a good choice for people who want a straightforward, gimmick-free compact camera that's big enough to hold but can still fit inside a pocket. It also offers decent image quality, and learning how to use it will take no time at all Read more

Canon PowerShot A460 review

This basic 5-megapixel camera comes in at the very low end of Canon's PowerShot A series of digital cameras, but still offers a 4x optical zoom. It's very inexpensive but image quality isn't terrific Read more

Nikon Coolpix S3000 review

The 12-megapixel Coolpix S3000 is a good little compact camera for a budget price. If you want cutting-edge tech, look elsewhere, but, if you want a pocket-friendly snapper that's easy to use, attractive and capable of taking decent photos, it may well fit the bill. Its 4x wide-angle zoom is handy too Read more

Canon Digital IXUS 120 IS review

The 12-megapixel Digital IXUS 120 IS is difficult to resist, thanks to its combination of a tiny, attractive body, simple operation, and generally very good photos. Occasionally, its images can suffer from purple fringing, and it can also be sluggish, but this is one of the better ultra-compacts on the market Read more

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FP3 review

You won't get dSLR-quality photos from the 14.1-megapixel Lumix DMC-FP3 compact camera, but it is remarkably quick, so split-second photo opportunities need not pass you by. It also offers a 4x optical zoom, a touch-sensitive display and 720p movie-capture capability in a super-slim, attractive body Read more

Casio Exilim EX-Z100 review

It's hard to find fault with Casio cameras these days. The Casio Exilim EX-Z100 makes for another compact success. From its understated style and large screen to its accessible controls and useful features, this snapper is a study in what the compact camera can be Read more

Canon PowerShot A3100 IS review

The 12.1-megapixel PowerShot A3100 IS with 4x zoom makes a good first impression. Its pictures and feature set won't induce violent spasms of excitement, but its smart metal body, satisfying dimensions and straightforward controls are points in its favour Read more
