Olympus E-P2

Sharing a host of similarities to the E-P1, the E-P2 just doesn't have that wow-factor anymore. But if you can forgive it for this, you will find that it's a great Micro Four Thirds camera.

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.

Fujifilm FinePix Z30

Unless you're a social networking addict and child of the YouTube era, you won't find much use for the FinePix Z30. The novel aspects don't make up for the clunky buttons, slow performance and noisy images at all.
Sony Ericsson C510

The C510 rises high above its low price tag and our prepaid prejudices. The camera is decent and it's assisted by excellent shooting modes and settings.
Sony Handycam HDR-XR520V

With its new back-illuminated CMOS sensor, GPS receiver and active image stabilisation, this new Handycam looks set to usurp the camcorder throne. We can't wait until we're able to do a full review.
Kodak EasyShare Z1085 IS

The Kodak EasyShare Z1085 IS is a solid value camera with decent photo quality and a well-rounded feature set, but is let down by poor performance.
Fujifilm FinePix Z100fd

The Z100fd is a good looker of a camera, but as they say, beauty is only skin deep.
Fujifilm FinePix F40fd

If you've shunned Fujifilm cameras previously due to their proprietary xD-Picture Card format, the new FinePixes are set to change all that with dual card slots that embrace Secure Digital cards as well.
Canon DC40

The Canon DC40 definitely deserves a spot on your short list of DVD camcorders.
Casio Exilim EX-Z1000

The trendy design and user-friendly features manage to steal some thunder from this high-resolution shooter. However, the Exilim EX-Z1000 is still a basic digicam targeted at users who want a high-resolution camera.
