  Canon IXUS 100 IS

  03 Jul 2009 5:16 PM

  The IXUS 100 IS manages to pair a sleek and sexy chassis with a very competent image-taking base and HD recording. If only it had a wide-angle lens and a slightly longer zoom it would easily win an Editors' Choice award.

  This is an example of a compact camera done right. With its stylish looks and relatively good specs list, the Lumix FS15 won't disappoint unless you're looking for HD video and manual controls.

  Sony Cyber-shot DSC-TX1

  27 Oct 2009 11:50 AM

  Sony's DSC-TX1 is an exciting step forward for compact cameras, pushing for better image quality rather than more megapixels — and it pulls it off in style.

  Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ35

  10 Nov 2009 12:22 PM

  The FZ35 should be at the top of any potential superzoom buyer's list, with a fully featured specification sheet and good image quality.

  Ricoh GR Digital III

  26 Aug 2009 3:50 PM

  Packed full of features, the Ricoh GR Digital III won't appeal to every photographer, but for those looking for a fixed focal-length camera and something to complement a digital SLR, it's a great companion piece.

  Olympus E-P1

  21 Jul 2009 5:25 PM

  Though it's rather expensive, we can't help adoring the E-P1. The pictures it takes with the included lenses are mostly great, just don't expect compact-like features such as a viewfinder and flash to be included.

  Specs: Digital SLR , 12.3 megapixels, 3 inch, Secure Digital Card, Secure Digital High Capacity

  Panasonic Lumix DMC-FT1

  27 Apr 2009 4:25 PM

  For a camera that can cope with everything you throw at it, from a pool party to a safari, the Lumix DMC-FT1 is rather good at its job. Expect excellent quality HD video and great photos, if you can look past the slightly slow performance times.

  Specs: Digital compact , 12.1 megapixels, 2.7 inch, 4.6 x, Secure Digital High Capacity

  Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W290

  29 May 2009 9:03 AM

  The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W290 is a compelling package. Unless you're extraordinarily picky about your photo quality, it's a great pocket camera at a reasonable price with a solid combination of features, usability and design.

  Specs: Digital compact , 12.1 megapixels, 3 inch, 5 x, Memory Stick, Memory Stick Duo, Memory Stick PRO, Memory Stick PRO Duo

  Fujifilm FinePix S200EXR

  19 Nov 2009 5:05 PM

  The S200EXR stands on its own as a hybrid between a superzoom and SLR, with a 14.3x optical zoom lens and Fuji's Super CCD sensor. Expect great pictures but be prepared for backaches.

  Specs: Digital SLR , 12 megapixels, 2.7 inch, 14.3 x, Internal Memory, Secure Digital Card, Secure Digital High Capacity
