Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ45 review

Despite a few shortcomings, the FZ45 superzoom offers excellent value. It resembles a dSLR put on a hot wash, but it's easier to use and packed full of the latest must-have features. It feels like we've seen much of what's on offer here before, however. Read more

Pentax X90 review

The Pentax X90 is an easy-to-use superzoom that offers decent picture quality and plenty of features. It's good value for money too, although it does feel rather plasticky. Read more

Nikon Coolpix S80 review

Its minimalist exterior makes the S80 Nikon's slickest Coolpix compact camera yet, even though its touchscreen can make for fiddly operation at times. Read more

Ricoh CX4 review

It's not going to kick-start any trends, but the workmanlike CX4 is another solid showing from Ricoh in every sense of the word. Its zoom capability and above-average screen resolution is what raises this camera above the pile. Read more

Olympus Tough TG-310 review

The ruggedised Olympus Tough TG-310 is certainly a robust camera, but there are plenty of more resilient models out there. Its average performance and some usability issues don't do much to further this camera's cause. Read more

Pentax Optio S1 review

The Pentax Optio S1 is small, affordable and doesn't skimp on the specs. Picture quality isn't spectacular but those looking for a simple, stylish compact in the sub-£100 price bracket should definitely give it a shot. Read more
