| Review summary | The Canon PowerShot A2000 IS would be the perfect camera for an aged relative or camera-shy novice, because it's easy to handle and straightforward to use. But that's about as much as you can say for it. Countless rivals offer smaller bodies, better build, more controls, longer zooms, wider zooms... This is a Marks & Spencer gents' cardigan of a camera 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 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 |

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
