We like:
Gorgeous styling; sturdy construction; simplicity of operation
We don't like:
Idiosyncratic controls; uninspired feature set; only takes xD cards
Also known as:
Olympus u [mju:] 1200
CNET UK judgement:
The Olympus mju 1200 is a slimline, capable point-and-shoot for those more interested in style than photography. A bare-bones feature set and some quirky controls mean that you're paying a premium for the gorgeous style and 12 megapixels

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
