Canon PowerShot SX120 IS

Rival compact superzooms may be speedier, have more features and sport sleeker designs, but the 10-megapixel PowerShot SX120 IS with 10x zoom has an ace up its sleeve: its best-in-class photos. Clean, sharp and offering plenty of detail, its photos also deliver vivid and generally excellent colours

The 12-megapixel PowerShot A1100 IS is a good choice for people who want a straightforward, gimmick-free compact camera that's big enough to hold but can still fit inside a pocket. It also offers decent image quality, and learning how to use it will take no time at all

Canon PowerShot A480

Considering how cheap it is, the 10-megapixel PowerShot A480 takes good photos. In fact, you'd be hard-pressed to better them at this price point. You should look elsewhere if you're after anything besides basic snapshots, but, otherwise, this small, attractive and fuss-free snapper delivers the goods

Canon Digital IXUS 95 IS

The Digital IXUS 95 may be pretty, and it may be a Canon, but if you've got around £180 to spend and all you ask is a 10-megapixel sensor and a 3x zoom, it'd take you a week to read through the list of candidates. The IXUS 95 stakes its claim with beautiful design, an optical viewfinder and better-than-ever face-detection

Canon PowerShot A1000 IS

Canon PowerShot A2000 IS

The PowerShot A2000 IS is an uncomplicated, 10-megapixel compact that produces above-average pictures but fails to excite. With countless rivals offering more interesting features, you can't help but feel that this is the Ford Focus of digital cameras

Editor's rating 7.3

Canon PowerShot SX110 IS

What the relatively compact, 9-megapixel PowerShot SX110 IS megazoom camera sacrifices in speed is more than made up for by its arguably best-in-class picture quality. It's also reasonably priced, and offers enough features to appeal to both inexperienced and seasoned users

Canon PowerShot A470

Solid budget models are becoming less expensive and offering better performance -- the Canon PowerShot A470 is one of the best examples of this trend. It isn't the prettiest camera available and it doesn't have any flashy features, but for the price, it's fast and it produces surprisingly good pictures

Canon PowerShot A720 IS

Canon is sticking to what works in its PowerShot A720 IS. Mostly similar to its older A710 IS sibling, it strikes a less hefty pose, but more importantly, this camera improves in the areas of face detection and autoexposure. With a complement of manual exposure controls, old is made new again

Editor's rating 7.8

Canon Digital IXUS 75

Don't look directly at it, or the Canon Digital IXUS 75 will hypnotise you. Any worries you might have over its price tag, lack of features and average megapixels and zoom will be eased by its massive screen and smart styling. You've been sufficiently warned -- this camera is a charmer

Editor's rating 7.2

Canon PowerShot A570 IS

Canon PowerShot A460

This basic 5-megapixel camera comes in at the very low end of Canon's PowerShot A series of digital cameras, but still offers a 4x optical zoom. It's very inexpensive but image quality isn't terrific

Editor's rating 5.8

Canon PowerShot A550

With quick performance and decent photos, the Canon PowerShot A550 is a solid budget camera. It doesn't have many special features, but it's a strong choice if you don't want to spend a lot for your snapshots

Canon Digital IXUS i7

At 23mm thick and weighing only 122g, the IXUS i7 fits easily into almost any pocket, and it comes in a variety of pastel shades. It offers a 7-megapixel resolution, allows the use of 4GB and larger SD memory cards and has 2.4x optical zoom. Its grainy image quality and sluggish performance leave much to be desired, though
