What is it: 8-megapixel large compact with 10x optical zoom lens
What we think: For a zoom lens that's smaller than most superzooms, the H3 is a decent choice

We like:
10x optical zoom lens; small size; optical image stabilisation; face detection
We don't like:
Noisy images at higher ISOs; no place to put your thumb
CNET UK judgement:
If you don't like electronic viewfinders but want a superzoom, this Sony stuffs a 10x zoom lens and 8 megapixels into a tiny package, although image quality at higher ISOs is a bit lacking

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
