Leica D-Lux 5 review

The Leica D-Lux 5 compact camera is undeniably expensive. But its superior images, classic design and broad range of features go a long way towards justifying its price tag. Read more

Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX5 review

The 10.1-megapixel Lumix DMC-LX5 is a compact and feature-packed camera that would make a good choice as a back-up for a digital SLR. The lack of a flash adjustment is a strange omission in a camera of this type, but it's worth a look if you need plenty of power in your pocket Read more

Fujifilm FinePix X100 review

The Fujifilm FinePix X100 is a serious piece of photographic kit. Not only is it beautifully built, but it also offers excellent performance. Few concessions to beginners and a high price make it a specialist-only camera, though. Read more

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

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ100 review

The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ100 is a superzoom with a 24x zoom and a hefty price tag. It's not a bad camera, but there are better alternatives that cost less. Read more

Panasonic Lumix DMC-G2 review

The 12.1-megapixel Lumix DMC-G2 is a great Micro Four Thirds camera. It feels very well made and it shoots vivid, sharp pictures. Its heaps of complicated features can make it disorientating to use, but there's plenty to get your teeth stuck into, and the touchscreen is a welcome extra Read more

Canon PowerShot G12 review

The Canon PowerShot G12 is a high-performance compact camera that will appeal to dSLR owners seeking a portable back-up snapper. Overall, it's a quality package. Read more

Canon PowerShot SX30 IS review

Canon's attempt to trump all comers in the superzoom market with the PowerShot SX30 IS and its 35x optical zoom is largely successful, although it suffers from inherent compromises and the same plasticky build that plagues its predecessors. Read more

Kodak EasyShare Z981 review

The Kodak EasyShare Z981 might be something of a plastic brick that delivers over-saturated images, but £240 for a camera with a 26x zoom is a bargain. Its price is the Z981's saving grace. Read more
