Typical price: £160
What is it: Uncomplicated, 10-megapixel compact
What we think: Its pictures are good and it's straightforward to use, but it's also crushingly ordinary

We like:
Sharp definition; straightforward operation; good AA battery life
We don't like:
Limited dynamic range; no wide-angle zoom; plain appearance
CNET UK judgement:
The Canon PowerShot A2000 IS would be the perfect camera for an aged relative or camera-shy novice, because it's easy to handle and straightforward to use. But that's about as much as you can say for it. Countless rivals offer smaller bodies, better build, more controls, longer zooms, wider zooms... This is a Marks & Spencer gents' cardigan of a camera

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
