We like:
It takes pictures -- we can't think of anything else
We don't like:
Counter-intuitive menu/mode buttons; underwhelming screen; light on features
CNET.co.uk judgement:
Despite its suave looks, the Nikon Coolpix S520 is a safe pair of hands rather than a glamorous catch. A light feature set and an absence of sexy characteristics mean it fails to stand out on any criteria except price -- but it is a solid-gold bargain

The Nikon Coolpix S520 is small, cheap and charming in an understated way. We're underwhelmed by the specs, but will its user-friendliness win us over?

Its attractions are almost irresistible, but its performance is too sluggish

Photos: Hands-on with the Kodak EasyShare M1063
The Kodak EasyShare M1063 is a 10-megapixel point-and-shoot with a large screen and clever power features -- and it's more interesting than anything that happened in 1063
