CNET UK judgement:
The Kodak EasyShare M873 is an efficient but uninspiring 8-megapixel compact. With its 3x zoom and average-sized screen the M873 ticks the main boxes: slimline, user-friendly and eminently affordable. But we have come to expect more from even the cheaper compacts, and even extras like an orientation sensor can't disguise a lack of decent features or manual control

Kodak EasyShare M873: Whistles? Check. Bells? Check
The Kodak EasyShare M873 is the very model of a modern compact camera: 8 megapixels, 3x zoom, 64mm screen. But it has whistles and bells aplenty for £120

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
