Canon PowerShot A540 review

Solid image quality, usable ISO 800 performance and a full set of manual controls make the Canon PowerShot A540 an excellent choice for photo enthusiasts looking for an almost-pocketable second camera, or for budding photographers who aren't ready to move up to a digital SLR Read more

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W30 review

A pocket-size shooter from Sony, the Cyber-shot DSC-W30 provides impressive photos and fast, easy operation in a simple package. A limited 3x zoom lens and a paucity of manual controls limit the DSC-W30's enthusiast appeal to those looking for a small second camera, however Read more

Panasonic Lumix DMC-LZ2B review

The 5-megapixel DMC-LZ2's vibration-damping optical image stabilisation is especially useful at the telephoto end of this compact's 6x zoom. High-performance burst shooting and easy operation increase the DMC-LZ2's appeal, but its lack of manual controls will disappoint photo enthusiasts Read more

Kodak EasyShare Z7590 review

On paper, the Kodak EasyShare Z7590 looks great -- 10x optical zoom and a host of shooting modes seems very good value for £250. But mediocre image quality spoils the fun, with a wide variety of digital artefacts reducing the camera's desirability Read more

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX7 review

With optical image stabilisation that dampens the effect of the shakiest hands and a huge screen, this 5-megapixel ultracompact is an alluring camera for the snapshot photographer who wants a sharp, clear digicam Read more

Nikon Coolpix S4 review

Resurrecting the swivel lens after nearly three years, the S4 comes in a compact package, with 6-megapixel resolution, a 10x zoom lens, a 64mm LCD, and Nikon's signature ease-of-use features. But a lack of manual controls makes this a poor choice for shooting indoors Read more

Casio Exilim EX-S600 review

With 35 scene modes that cover every picture-taking situation, plus a user-definable scene mode, the EX-S600 puts the brains back into no-brainer snapshooting. Unfortunately, these assets are outweighed by its limited 3x zoom range and mediocre photo quality Read more

Canon Digital IXUS 50 review

If you're looking for an ultracompact snapshot camera and don't need manual controls, lots of scene modes or a powerful electronic flash, the marginally better image quality of this unit over its IXUS 40 predecessor may lure you into the Canon fold Read more
