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.

Reviews

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.
-
Canon PowerShot A2000 IS
The Canon PowerShot A2000 IS is lean on features beyond its stabilised 6x zoom lens, but it takes great photos and is easy to use.
-
Panasonic HDC-HS20
The HS20 has a new CMOS sensor — albeit not the 3MOS set up seen in the HS200 and TM200 — allied with a 16x zoom lens, a touchscreen LCD, 80GB hard-disk and 5.1-channel sound.
