Ricoh Caplio R8
The Ricoh R8 may lack traditional manual controls, but it's still endlessly customisable even with a dead simple button and menu layout. The large screen, wide angle lens and long zoom make it worthwhile twiddling the menus to overcome some image issues.
Nikon Coolpix P5100
Pleasing image quality and a wealth of manual controls make the SLR-styled Nikon Coolpix P5100 a good compact choice but its slow performance disappoints.
Ricoh Caplio R7
The Ricoh Caplio R7 is an outstanding compact camera, with all the features you could want packed into a sturdy, pocket-sized metal frame. It's not perfect and it's not cheap, but it is very much worth tracking down.
Nikon Coolpix P50
No-one will be getting excited about the Nikon Coolpix P50, a hobbled version of the P5100. Light on features but full of tweakable settings, the P50 produces pleasing images and is one of the most flexible compacts around. Shame about the brick-like styling, though.
Ricoh Caplio R30
While it may not have a single standout feature, the R30 is a solid performer in a crowded 5 megapixel digital camera market.
