Typical price: £130
What is it: 12-megapixel budget compact digital camera
What we think: A good lens let down by sluggish speed, poor battery life and missing features

We like:
Decent zoom lens; HD video
We don't like:
Terrible zoom rocker; subpar screen; no optical image stabilisation; terrible battery life
You might also need:
Spare batteries and plenty of them
CNET UK judgement:
Kodak may have set out to make 12 megapixels affordable, but the EasyShare Z1275 is just cheap. A decent lens and HD video capability is hamstrung by a lack of features, slow performance and shocking battery life

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
