Typical price: £185
What is it: Ultracompact digital camera with face detection
What we think: Face detection and YouTube uploading software are handy but they don't justify purchasing this if you can still find an EX-S770

"Not that good, really"
What I like:
Small, light, fast, good battery life, good screen... But...
What I don't like:
...Poor picture quality! (Which is a bad thing for a camera!)
Review:
For usability, it pretty good. The screen is nice, the battery life good. It starts up quickly and saves shots quickly. It is a pleasure to use.
The realy big down side is the shot quality. They are colourful and well exposed, but as they said in the Cnet review they are soft (soft like an old movie stars close up).
When I first got it I kept checking the lens for dirt and even played with the focus and exposure to try and clear it up. But it just remains soft. This is no problem if you only want a small (sub A4) print, but if you want to zoom in on something - forget it!
Disappointing!

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
