Typical price: £160
What is it: 12-megapixel compact with 5x zoom
What we think: Inexplicable interface issues let down this disappointingly unsophisticated point-and-shoot

We like:
Respectable images; nippy scroll wheel
We don't like:
Controls in the wrong place; no manual control or even aperture or shutter priority
CNET UK judgement:
We want to like the Fujifilm FinePix F100fd and we certainly like its scroll wheel, big screen and 5x zoom. But even respectable image quality isn't enough to overcome the undistinguished feature set and inexplicably fiddly controls

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
