Typical price: £150
What is it: Chunky 8-megapixel point-and-shoot camera
What we think: An unexciting but highly adaptable point-and-shoot
What you need to know

We like:
Lots of tweakable settings; good image quality
We don't like:
Lack of features; no optical image stabilisation; small screen; uninspired design
You might also need:
AA batteries
CNET UK judgement:
No-one will be getting excited about the Nikon Coolpix P50, a hobbled version of the P5100. There aren't many features but lots of tweakable settings, so the bottom line is that it is one of the most flexible compacts around, with correspondingly good image results. Shame about the brick-like styling, though

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
