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

Canon IXUS 115 HS review

The Canon IXUS 115 HS compact camera outshines many of its rivals in terms of performance, features and usability. It's not exactly a munter either. Read more

Olympus FE-4050 review

The user-friendly Olympus FE-4050 is a marginally pared-down version of its big brother, the FE-5050, with slightly wider dimensions and a more plasticky build. Read more

Panasonic Lumix DMC-S3 review

The Panasonic Lumix DMC-S3 is by no means perfect, but it's still head and shoulders above most other budget compact cameras. It's also very light, and refreshingly easy to operate. 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

Olympus FE-5050 review

The Olympus FE-5050 is a low-cost, 14-megapixel point-and-shoot with a wild side. The camera's punk-effect filter may be an inspired flourish, but image quality is variable and critical sharpness mostly lacking. Read more

Nikon Coolpix S2500 review

The Nikon Coolpix S2500 costs only £90, so you can't expect perfection. But this compact camera is small, easy to use, and offers pretty impressive performance and features for the price. Read more

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-TX7 review

The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-TX7 is capable of capturing colourful, detailed images. This compact camera's touchscreen controls are also clearly labelled and easily navigated, but we're not sure it's the best option in its price range. Read more
