Canon PowerShot S90 review
The 10-megapixel PowerShot S90 is brilliant. At last, we have a compact camera that really does have dSLR-style features, really does approach dSLR image quality and really will fit in your pocket. As well as offering a straightforward interface, it's extremely well-built and elegant to boot Read more

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W55 review
This budget digital camera is a £10 upgrade to the Cyber-shot DSC-W35, which buys you a nice brushed-metal fascia and a larger LCD screen. It's not the most exciting camera in the world, but its clear and pleasing photos make it worth a gander Read more

Nikon Coolpix L22 review
The compact, 12-megapixel Coolpix L22 with 3.6x zoom proves that budget cameras really can be good. Its lack of manual ISO control is a strange omission, but it's well made, simple to use and capable of taking some impressive photos, such as you might expect from a camera of twice the price Read more

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FS11 review
Panasonic's compact cameras are usually solidly built and well designed, and the 14.1-megapixel Lumix DMC-FS11 is no exception. While it's not the most versatile snapper in the world -- its pictures suffer from noise in low light -- it is highly pocketable, very simple to use and pretty affordable too Read more

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-WX5 review
The diminutive Sony Cyber-shot DSC-WX5 is a well-built compact camera that will let you take 3D images. Packing plenty of hi-tech features, it offers decent value for money, even if it does feel gimmicky on occasions. 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

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T700 review
Sony's Cyber-shot DSC-T700 aims to improve your picture-sharing experience by giving you not only a well-rounded point-and-shoot camera, but also a portable digital photo album. It's able to store up to 40,000 images and you can view them on its gorgeous 89mm touchscreen 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

Canon PowerShot SX220 HS review
It would be a mistake to dismiss the Canon PowerShot SX220 HS compact superzoom as an incremental update to the SX210 IS. It's powerful, flexible, straightforward and fun to use. Read more

Fujifilm FinePix Z20fd review
For the representative of Generation Z in your life, the colourful and stylish Fujifilm FinePix Z20fd could be an inexpensive little gift. Complete with a YouTube mode, this 10-megapixel snapper isn't the most capable snapper, but its price and styling are aimed at the less demanding market Read more
