Typical price: £170
What is it: 12-megapixel designer touchscreen compact
What we think: Looks and feels like a million quid, but handles and shoots like a used fiver

We like:
One of the best-looking digital compacts ever; acceptable images
We don't like:
Annoying touch interface; screen almost useless in bright light; slow controls
You might also need:
2GB Secure Digital memory card (from £10); microfibre cloth (from £5) to clean the touchscreen of fingerprints
CNET UK judgement:
It seems as though Kodak blew all its budget for the V1273 on designing the gorgeous steel case, with none left over for a decent touchscreen, speedy interface or smart processing. A great style icon, but frustrating to use for anything other occasional snaps

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

Are Micro Four Thirds cameras EVIL?
The Olympus E-P1 is the latest Micro Four Thirds camera range, and Olympus may claim it's a Pen, but we just have to ask: if it isn't EVIL, what is it?
