Typical price: £199
What is it: Compact camera with MP3 player and PMP
What we think: Fun and different, but nothing exciting in the performance department
What you need to know

Tags: samsung, text files, touchscreen, stabilisation
We like:
Huge touchscreen; novelty value; competent camera; large memory
We don't like:
No frills devices; lacklustre tour guide
CNET UK judgement:
The Samsung i7 is fun and unusual, but the twist-screen gimmick may be lost on some. Camera, MP3 and multimedia playback functions are from the no-frills shelf, but save you juggling multiple devices. The high price tag, however, is only justified if you value convenience and novelty value over great pictures

The Samsung i7 is a digital camera, PVP and MP3 player all in one package, activated by a flick of the wrist and a spin of the touchscreen. It might be a gimmick, but we like it

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

Are Micro Four Thirds cameras EVIL?
The Olympus E-P1 is the latest Micro Four Thirds camera range, and Olympus may claim it's a Pen, but we just have to ask: if it isn't EVIL, what is it?
