| Review summary | The BenQ DC-T700 ticks plenty of the compact camera boxes: supremely pocket-friendly, easy to navigate (thanks to the cool touchscreen) and pretty as a picture. If you think that a choice of colours is more important than a choice of features, then the DC-T700 could be for you. But its poor low-light performance and slow operation mean that £150 may not be such a bargain after all 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 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 |
The Samsung ST1000 is what you get when you combine a super-slim camera with the latest wireless-connectivity and touchscreen technology. Samsung's experience in mobile-phone design surely plays a part here. We've seen wireless cameras before, but this, at last, is how it should be done Read full review |

Good dSLR, but you're paying for HD movies and high ISOs. The basic image quality hasn't moved on much
Panasonic Lumix DMC-FS11
Solid and pocketable, but not versatile enough to make the best of darker conditions
Canon IXUS 105
While a thing of beauty physically, its average pictures and trailing-edge tech fail to inspire
