Nikon Coolpix L2 review
The 6-megapixel Nikon Coolpix L2 offers only the bare necessities for picture taking but, for its class, delivers excellent photos that require minimal effort. The Coolpix L2 squarely targets casual photographers though, and more experienced users may be frustrated by the camera's lack of controls Read more

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ7 review
Compared to digital SLRs and some other superzoom cameras, the small, lightweight 6-megapixel Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ7 feels almost like a toy. But with its 12x optically stabilised lens, manual controls, extended selection of scene modes and VGA movie capture, it's clear that its capabilities far outstrip its size and weight Read more

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

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX9 review
A slim, beautifully built pocket camera boasting Panasonic's Mega OIS optical image stabilisation which allows you to capture sharp images at slow shutter speeds without a tripod or flash. The camera is also a snappy performer speedwise, but photographers with a critical eye will pause at the less than stellar photo quality Read more

Kodak EasyShare V610 review
With the EasyShare V610, Kodak takes its innovative dual-lens camera design to its logical conclusion by pairing a typical compact-camera zoom lens with a second 130mm-to-380mm lens for an effective 10x optical zoom range. The V610 also features a large 71mm LCD, impressive for a pocketable compact Read more

Canon Digital IXUS 800 IS review
The Canon Digital IXUS 800 IS is a very strong, compact digital camera that produces great pictures. Its price is slightly high compared to that of its little siblings, the IXUS 60 and IXUS 65, but its great image stabilisation and subsequent blur-free photos are worth the extra few quid Read more

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

Samsung Digimax S600 review
Samsung calls its S-series cameras point-and-shoots, but these slim snappers offer controls that set them apart from the mindless auto-only cameras. The Digimax S600, however, does let itself down considerably on image quality, and it might well be worth stepping up to a better-performing model, such as the Samsung Digimax L60 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
