| Review summary | While the Kodak EasyShare C653 has strong features and an attractively low price, it's just too big. With 20 scene presets and optical viewfinder, its performance is still only average and photo quality lacking. Its design renders it too chunky to fit in your pocket and it simply doesn't pack enough punch to compete with other compacts Read full review |
The Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ6 not only does more than you could possibly expect from any pocket-sized camera, it does it spectacularly well. Other cameras may be smaller, cheaper or offer more manual control, but, as a package, the TZ6 provides unparalleled practicality, versatility and quality Read full review |
The Fujifilm FinePix F200EXR is a fantastic camera. The brand new EXR sensor delivers the improved high-ISO quality promised by Fujifilm, and the high-dynamic-range mode is just brilliant. Fujifilm may just have pulled the rug out from under its rivals Read full review |
The Canon PowerShot S90 is a cracker. It's not just elegant, compact and beautifully made -- it also combines high-end photographic controls with a straightforward interface, a seriously good lens and image quality that raises the bar for all other camera makers Read full review |

Latest Digital camera Reviews
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
