Olympus Mju Tough 6010
30 Oct 2009 2:51 PM
The 6010 does exactly what it says on the tin and takes photos in extreme circumstances. It's unfortunate that they're not the best photos they could be.
Specs: Digital compact , 12 megapixels, 2.7 inch

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.
Specs: Digital compact , 10.2 megapixels, 3 inch, 4 x, Memory Stick Duo, Memory Stick PRO, Memory Stick PRO Duo

Olympus Mju 7020
12 Oct 2009 11:19 AM
We're a bit ambivalent about the Olympus Mju 7020. It's got a wide-angle lens and a relatively long zoom at 7x, but misses out on good picture quality and class-leading features like HD movie recording.
Specs: Digital compact , 12 megapixels, 3 inch, 7 x, xD Picture Card

Pentax X70
07 Oct 2009 11:01 AM
Slow performance and photo quality concerns stop the otherwise very good Pentax X70 from being a winning superzoom camera.
Specs: Digital compact , 12 megapixels, 2.7 inch, 6.25 x, Secure Digital Card

Ricoh CX2
25 Sep 2009 4:17 PM
The CX2 is an attractive proposition on the outside: a CMOS sensor, 10x optical zoom and wide-angle lens, but inside there's a host of noise issues.
Specs: Digital compact , 9 megapixels, 3 inch, 10.7 x, Secure Digital Card, Secure Digital High Capacity

Canon IXUS 120 IS
18 Sep 2009 3:43 PM
This is a great little compact camera equipped with pretty much everything you could ask for, like HD video and a stylish body, so we've awarded it our Editors' Choice award.
Specs: Digital compact , 12.1 megapixels, 2.7 inch, 4 x, MultiMedia Card, Secure Digital Card, Secure Digital High Capacity

Canon PowerShot SX120 IS
17 Sep 2009 2:41 PM
Canon's SX120 IS pocket megazoom falls behind the competition in every aspect except photo quality.
Specs: Digital compact , 10 megapixels, 3 inch, 10 x, MultiMedia Card, Secure Digital Card, Secure Digital High Capacity

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX65
11 Sep 2009 2:43 PM
It's a good camera that can take some beautiful pictures, but for the price and the lack of extra features, the FX65 doesn't live up to our expectations of value — and its video quality is terrible.
Specs: Digital compact , 12.1 megapixels, 2.7 inch, 5 x, Secure Digital Card, Secure Digital High Capacity

Samsung WB500
08 Sep 2009 12:08 PM
The WB500 is a good camera that delivers quality shots, but unfortunately its lacklustre performance won't go down well with seasoned photographers.
Specs: Digital compact , 10.2 megapixels, 2.7 inch, MultiMedia Card, Secure Digital Card, Secure Digital High Capacity

Canon IXUS 200 IS
07 Sep 2009 3:28 PM
Pairing a pretty touchscreen interface with a competent camera is always a good move, but we're a bit stuck as to what the 200 IS actually is: a touchscreen or a conventional compact.
Specs: Digital compact , 12.1 megapixels, 3 inch, 5 x, MultiMedia Card, Secure Digital Card, Secure Digital High Capacity
