Olympus mju-7040 review
The 14-megapixel mju-7040 is an attractive and flexible compact camera, packing a speedy 7x wide-angle zoom into a diminutive body. Its 2GB of internal storage, one-click 720p movie-recording mode and in-built photo-browsing software are useful too Read more

Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZX3 review
The 14.1-megapixel Lumix DMC-ZX3 is a great little camera that packs an 8x super-wide-angle zoom into an impressively compact body. Panasonic's gone overboard with the 'intelligent' features, but it's capable of taking some good photos and can record 720p movies too Read more

Samsung EX-1 review
The Samsung's strength is its combination of features, performance and value for money. It's not the best-handling high-end compact, but it does the job. The question is: do cameras like this have a future when they're up against a new generation of big-sensor hybrids? Read more

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W270 review
The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W270's specs certainly gives this compact a fighting chance among its fierce competition. From its 5x wideangle zoom, automatic scene detection, HD movie mode, plus all kinds of face detection, this slim snapper could be one to keep handy Read more

Canon PowerShot SX10 IS review
With a new 20x optical zoom, image stabilisation, a 10-megapixel sensor and full manual control if you want it, the new Canon PowerShot SX10 IS provides a lot for your money. Its zoom gives you the equivalent of 560mm, which is some pretty serious magnification on a solid, well-made snapper Read more

Fujifilm FinePix J12 review
Dispensing with all forms of gimmickry, the J12 is an elegant, straightforward, 8-megapixel compact digital camera that produces sharp and clear images. It's not perfect but, for the price, it's so good that it makes its rivals look stupid Read more

Samsung WB500 review
The 10-megapixel WB500 compact superzoom with an ultra-wideangle 10x zoom ticks all the boxes, has no serious flaws and represents good value for money. There are more exciting cameras on the market, but the WB500 is well worth a look, offering good image quality and design Read more

Canon IXUS 130 review
The 14.1-megapixel IXUS 130 compact camera is a thing of beauty, with a supremely elegant and satisfying design. Highly pocketable and easy to use, it's an extremely practical camera too. Its picture quality is average, but those seeking a small camera with real class should check it out Read more

Canon PowerShot D10 review
The 12-megapixel PowerShot D10 adds a welcome splash of style to the ruggedised camera market. Although it's not as shockproof as some of its rivals and the basic 3x zoom is nothing to shout about, it's waterproof to an impressive 10m and the lens is unusually sharp for this class of camera Read more

Fujifilm FinePix J110w review
The FinePix J110w offers 10 megapixels, a 5x wideangle zoom and a metal body for a remarkably low price. It doesn't sacrifice style in the process either, boasting an elegant, minimalist design. It also takes good pictures, with crisp detail and strong colours, making for an impressive compact camera overall Read more
