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

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

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

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

Casio Exilim EX-Z90 review
Casio's stuffed plenty of features into the 12.1-megapixel Exilim EX-Z90 compact camera, including a 3x zoom and an intelligent autofocus system that can work out what to focus on and how to adjust the exposure to match. The body's very neat and attractive, and it's fairly inexpensive too Read more

Canon PowerShot A480 review
Considering how cheap it is, the 10-megapixel PowerShot A480 takes good photos. In fact, you'd be hard-pressed to better them at this price point. You should look elsewhere if you're after anything besides basic snapshots, but, otherwise, this small, attractive and fuss-free snapper delivers the goods Read more

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FT1 review
Other ruggedised compact cameras might be tougher, but the 12-megapixel Lumix DMC-FT1 is very well specified for its class, with a 4.6x wideangle zoom and hi-def movie mode, making it a great all-rounder. If versatility is more important to you than having the hardest camera available, it'll be worth a gander Read more

Fujifilm FinePix Z33WP review
We can't help but like the 10-megapixel Fujifilm FinePix Z33WP, even though it's not without its faults. It looks so neat and appealing that its comparatively low price comes as a surprise, and it's waterproof up to 3m, making it a good choice for casual snappers looking for a camera to take on holiday Read more

Nikon Coolpix S210 review
The Nikon Coolpix S210 does exactly what it says on the tin. It's small and compact; it won't leave you with an emptied wallet; and it takes decent pictures. Start shooting and you'll find it focuses quickly and your shots come out with well-balanced colours Read more

Olympus mju Tough-8000 review
If you're looking for a compact camera that can withstand extraordinary levels of abuse, you might want to check out the mju Tough-8000, particularly as it also functions perfectly well as an everyday camera. The lens could be sharper but, otherwise, you have to look pretty hard to find any flaws with this beast Read more
