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!

Nikon Coolpix S570
Feels more expensive than it is, and its pictures are slightly better than usual for its class
Panasonic Lumix DMC-FP8
Not much to look at, but it's actually a very good ultra-compact camera for snapshooters
Samsung PL60
Stylish, practical and pleasing to use. Its pictures aren't bad either, so it's a good buy at this price
