Pentax Optio E30

The budget Pentax Optio E30 is a dumpy point-and-shoot compact camera with a paucity of features and average picture quality, but its cheerful interface and child-friendly attributes make it fun to use.

Casio Exilim EX-Z600

Although the image quality and performance of the stylish and ultracompact Casio Exilim EX-Z600 are decent for a snapshooter, watch out for image noise at high ISO settings -- it quickly and easily gets out of control, turning pictures into mush.

Reviews

  • Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W70

    The ultracompact Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W70 is a competent snapshooter, but its cheaper, lower-resolution siblings, the DSC-W30 and DSC-W50, are better values.

  • Olympus Mju 810

    If you can stand a bit of noise, the Olympus Mju 810 can handle your low-light and high-speed shots. Unfortunately, the easily washed-out LCD limits its use in sunlight.

  • Pentax Optio A10

    Its LCD has issues outdoors and in burst mode, but this ultracompact 8-megapixel Pentax Optio A10 for the snapshooting set is easy to operate and versatile.

  • Pentax Optio W10

    If you can get past its poor performance, the waterproof Pentax Optio W10 camera can take some pretty good shots where others can't even go.

  • Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX-1

    The Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX1 has a broad set of manual controls, image stabilisation, and a wide lens and sensor crammed into a compact package.

  • Nikon Coolpix 7900

    Despite a few shortcomings, this handsome little camera packs a punch, with practical snapshot features and solid picture quality.

  • Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W7

    An appealing 7-megapixel model for those who like their prints and their cameras large.

  • Sony Cyber Shot DSC-F88

    An easy-to-use camera with notable macro capabilities.
