Samsung ST550
Self-portrait screen or not, this camera marks Samsung's coming of age. Aside from a few too many megapixels and battery life that's too short, it's a delight to behold and use.

Reviews

Ricoh CX2
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.
-
Canon PowerShot SX120 IS
Canon's SX120 IS pocket megazoom falls behind the competition in every aspect except photo quality.
-
Sony Handycam HDR-XR100
While it's a perfectly serviceable HD camcorder, the Sony Handycam HDR-XR100 should deliver a little more of everything for the money.
-
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-FS7
If you pick up the Lumix DMC-FS7 you won't be disappointed as it's a great camera for someone who is not too fussy about having all the bells and whistles, and simply takes great pictures.
-
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-T900
The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T900 is a good, fast snapshot camera that's also very attractive and extremely compact. Its battery life is a little short and some will find the photo quality unworthy of the price tag. You're paying for the great design more than for great photos.
-
Ricoh CX1
For a very reasonable price of AU$599 you get a proficient compact camera with heaps of features, great dynamic range and, dare we say, sexy styling for a Ricoh. Pity about the noise issues and lack of HD video, then.
