| Review summary | After the slick angles and chic lines of recent IXUS', the bubbly, bulbous curves of the Canon Digital IXUS 970 IS have us nonplussed. We hate to judge a camera just on its looks, but the lack of features don't give us much choice. Still, if you've fallen in love with this cheery snapper, you haven't wasted your money Read full review |
Panasonic does it again with the cracking Lumix DMC-FX500, a point-and-shoot with a great lens, large and responsive touchscreen and a list of features as long as your arm Read full review |
The Lumix DMC-FX35 is another success from Panasonic, a unique 25mm wide-angle lens coupled with competent automatic modes and effective image stabilisation. The sleek shape and accessible controls make this an all-round excellent point-and-shoot Read full review |
The Fujifilm F50fd is an exceptional compact for anyone after a user-friendly yet sophisticated camera, with a wealth of features, large screen and excellent image quality Read full review |

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W170
Plain styling and cluttered controls belie an intuitive user interface and lots of options
Fujifilm FinePix F100fd
Inexplicable interface issues let down this disappointingly unsophisticated point-and-shoot
Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ5
Its attractions are almost irresistible, but its performance is too sluggish
