Typical price: £100
What is it: A budget shooter with white balance and ISO controls
What we think: Its large size overwhelms its attractive features and price tag
What you need to know

We like:
Optical viewfinder; relatively quick performance
We don't like:
Thick and ugly design; poor image quality; must half-press shutter before shooting to ensure focus
CNET UK judgement:
While the Kodak EasyShare C653 has strong features and an attractively low price, it's just too big. With 20 scene presets and optical viewfinder, its performance is still only average and photo quality lacking. Its design renders it too chunky to fit in your pocket and it simply doesn't pack enough punch to compete with other compacts

Canon PowerShot A2100 IS
We wish it were slightly faster, but it offers a useful 6x zoom and great photo quality
Canon PowerShot A480
Fuss-free compact that takes good photos given the price. Just don't expect too much from it
Canon Digital IXUS 990 IS
Good camera, but it's underspecified and overpriced, even compared to other IXUS models
Fujifilm FinePix S1500
Its lens and image quality aren't great, but it's a good option for beginner photographers
