The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T900 isn't just a camera -- it's a thing of beauty in both a technical and a visual sense, although the square corners arguably detract from its aesthetic appeal ever so slightly. But what matters most is that it's much more than just an empty styling exercise -- it also delivers good results Read full review |
You might balk at paying £300 for a Casio, but the Exilim EX-FS10 is no ordinary camera. Casio's trumpeting its high-speed technology for all it's worth, but it's genuinely unique, often startlingly effective and definitely a great deal of fun.

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
