Sony NEX-5 review
The 14.2-megapixel NEX-5 aims to offer the image quality and interchangeable lenses of a digital SLR in a smaller, simpler body. If you're stepping up from a standard compact camera, you'll probably find this remarkably small and beautifully made snapper a real delight Read more

Fujifilm FinePix F70EXR review
Sporting Fujifilm's EXR sensor, the 10-megapixel FinePix F70EXR compact superzoom with 10x wideangle zoom is capable of delivering some truly impressive pictures, particularly in low light. It's sometimes susceptible to colour fringing, but its size, build and handling are all great Read more

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

Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ6 review
The 10.1-megapixel Lumix DMC-TZ6, with a super-wideangle 12x zoom, is a really rather special compact camera. Other cameras may be smaller, cheaper or offer more manual control, but excellent picture quality, a superb build and finish, and fantastic versatility mean the TZ6 is difficult to beat 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-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

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

Olympus X-880 review
For a sub-£100 camera, the metal-bodied, 8-megapixel X-880 feels sturdy, looks smart, and takes clear, crisp pictures. Although the menu system is quirk-ridden, the snappy autofocus and 5x optical zoom make this a speedy point-and-shoot compact camera for undemanding users 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

Samsung ST1000 review
The 12.2-megapixel ST1000 is a classy camera, with a great design and top-notch, ultra-high-resolution touchscreen. The real stars of the show, though, are its Wi-Fi, bluetooth and GPS features. We've seen wireless cameras before, but Samsung's finally shown how it should be done Read more
