| Review summary | Remember when electronic kit was easy to use and built to last? Those days are back -- the diamond-tough 1030SW takes good photos, thrives on rough treatment and offers competent point-and-shoot operation. Drop it, kick it, freeze it, splash it -- this camera can take it all and keeps on shooting 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 Samsung NV24HD's engagingly quirky smart touch interface has always been a favourite of ours in the often identikit world of point-and-shoots, but the clever manual exposure control puts this camera firmly in our good books. Excellent image quality and a feature set that ticks all the boxes make this an excellent -- if somewhat understated -- investment 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 |
