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

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

Fujifilm FinePix XP30 review
The Fujifilm FinePix XP30 rugged camera is easy to use, fairly tough and cheaper than most of its rivals. When it comes to picture quality, though, it often leaves something to be desired. Read more

Fujifilm FinePix F300EXR review
This camera's great zoom range, metal build and cracking LCD screen are occasionally let down by rather dull, listless images lacking in contrast. The Fujifilm FinePix F300EXR's noisy zoom and overly sensitive mic are also considerable pitfalls. 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

Samsung WB600 review
Combining a long, 15x zoom range and consistently good images, the 12-megapixel Samsung WB600 is an excellent compact superzoom. It's also one of the cheapest out there. Although not without its flaws, it's worth seriously considering if you're after a new snapper Read more

Panasonic Lumix DMC-G1 review
The 12-megapixel Panasonic Lumix G1 is described as the 'world's first full-time live view digital interchangeable lens camera', and is a big step towards entirely digital photography.

Fujifilm FinePix F200EXR review
The FinePix F200EXR is a great camera, but it's Fujifilm's new EXR sensor that's the star of the show, capturing a level of detail that can't be matched by rivals. The controls can be confusing and you might notice some barrel distortion, but overall, the F200EXR sets new standards for compact-camera performance Read more
