We like:
Good photos; wideangle lens; attractive design; plenty of shooting options
We don't like:
Very slow performance; menu systems and navigation require getting used to; no optical zoom in movie mode
CNET UK judgement:
The Nikon Coolpix S710 would be an excellent high-end, full-featured ultra-compact, if it weren't for the fact that it's so slow. If you can overlook that, as well as its limited low-light performance, it's a sound choice for those seeking a point-and-shoot companion to a dSLR

Canon EOS 7D
It's got flaws, but the 7D moves the goalposts so far that competitors will need binoculars
Canon Digital IXUS 200 IS
Ticks numerous boxes, but it's not especially cheap and not particularly exciting
Canon PowerShot S90
The S90 is the enthusiast's dream, offering compactness, great image quality and superb controls
Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX550
Disappointing. The hybrid touchscreen interface is lacklustre overall, and the lens isn't that good
