Reviews

Olympus Mju Tough 6010

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.
Olympus Mju 7020

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.
Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX65

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.
Samsung WB550

The WB550 has a wide-angle lens, and a long zoom designed for travellers and photographers looking for a bit more flexibility.
Fujifilm FinePix S1500

Even for a full-featured megazoom camera at a low price, the Fujifilm FinePix S1500 delivers average photo quality and mixed performance.
Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZR1

If you're looking for a compact zoom camera, the DMC-ZR1 is one of the best, if you can forgive some performance issues in terms of burst speed and average video quality.
Fujifilm FinePix F200EXR

Don't let its new sensor technology scare you off: the Fujifilm FinePix F200EXR is an excellent compact camera with shooting features for just about every type of user.
Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W110

Sony's entry-level Cyber-shot DSC-W110 includes face detection, noise reduction and high ISO sensitivity up to ISO 3200.
