CNET UK judgement:
The Kodak EasyShare M873 is an efficient but uninspiring 8-megapixel compact.

Canon EOS 7D
It's got flaws, but the 7D moves the goalposts so far that competitors will need binoculars
Canon Digital IXUS 200 IS
Ticks numerous boxes, but it's not especially cheap and not particularly exciting
Canon PowerShot S90
The S90 is the enthusiast's dream, offering compactness, great image quality and superb controls
Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX550
Disappointing. The hybrid touchscreen interface is lacklustre overall, and the lens isn't that good
