Five digital cameras for just about anyone

Confused about what camera to buy? Manhandled by megapixel counts? Fear no more, because one of these cameras will be right for just about anyone.

Canon PowerShot D10

Canon's first attempt at an underwater camera is pretty impressive. There are a couple of areas to improve on like its video implementation and overall design, but for the most part the PowerShot D10 gets it right.

Reviews

  • Panasonic Lumix DMC-FT1

    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.

  • Olympus Mju 9000

    The Mju 9000 is one of the nicest Olympus compacts we've tested. It's the smallest camera you can get with 10x optical zoom, and we would recommend it unreservedly if it was a little cheaper and didn't have as many issues with noise.

  • Nikon Coolpix P90

    The P90 is a competent superzoom with an impressive burst rate, but loses out against its competitors on image quality and features.

  • Kodak EasyShare V803

    Unless you absolutely need a camera in your favourite colour, give this one a pass.

  • Olympus SP-510 UZ

    The Olympus SP-510UZ is packed with cool features, but a not-so-wide lens, sluggish performance, and noisy images steal its fire.

  • Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ30

    Though we have some caveats about image quality, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ30 provides stiff competition to other megazooms.
