CNET UK judgement:
The Exilim Z1200 is the first 12-megapixel compact, and gives correspondingly great images with equally gigantic file sizes. But what makes the EX-Z1200 worth the price is the extra features: mechanical image stabilisation, face detection and a whopping screen

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

Its lens and image quality aren't great, but it's a good option for beginner photographers
