Canon IXUS 980 IS
Even though the 980 IS lacks HD video and a big screen like some of its competitors, the 14.7-megapixel monster can deliver some excellent images.
Sony Alpha DSLR-A300
The A300 is the piggy in the middle of Sony's entry-level dSLR line-up. But does it suffer from middle child syndrome or is it the pick of the bunch?
LG Renoir KC910
With an excellent 8-megapixel camera and a finger-friendly touchscreen, the Renoir is exactly what it sets out to be: one of the best camera phones of the year.
Olympus Mju 1060
Whether you're after a little sophistication or a simple camera, the Olympus Mju 1060 delivers both in a stylish package. Its long zoom range will give it a leg up on many 10-megapixel competitors in its price range too.
Canon EF-S 18-55mm IS kit lens
The Canon EF-S 18-55mm IS kit lens is a solidly performing medium-zoom lens, with good optics and image stabilisation, that will appeal to more than just the entry-level crowd.
Canon EF-S 55-250mm f4.0-5.6 IS lens
A lightweight, compact design with its stabilisation and an affordable price make the Canon EF-S 55-250mm f4-5.6 IS a versatile lens for entry-level shooters and amateurs on a budget.
Canon Digital IXUS 800 IS
Canon includes image stabilisation and a 4x optical zoom lens on the compact, 6-megapixel IXUS 800IS.
Canon Digital IXUS 85 IS
The Canon Digital IXUS 85 IS looks good, performs well, and offers all the usual bells and whistles, but fails to stand out in the crowded IXUS line-up.
Pentax Optio A30
The 10-megapixel Pentax Optio A30 offers decent picture quality, optical image stabilisation and manual options in a deceptively modest package.
Nikon Coolpix P60
Stolid rather than sexy, competent rather than classy, the boxy Nikon Coolpix P60 is a belt-and-braces, real ale-supping point-and-shoot. The cool kids won't be impressed, but we're always glad to see a compact that gives such reliable images
Canon PowerShot A580
The Canon PowerShot A580's chunky, cheery styling isn't to our taste, but the friendly price, accessible controls and respectable image quality pull it out of the bag for this unsophisticated and easy-to-use point-and-shoot camera.
Kodak EasyShare Z8612 IS
The Kodak EasyShare Z8612 IS has trimmed off every gram of fat, but the 12x zoom lens overbalances the camera. It oozes understated élan and even has some clever features, but the performance isn't quite there.
Canon Digital IXUS 970 IS
Compared to the slick angles and chic lines of recent IXUS', the bubbly, bulbous curves of the Canon Digital IXUS 970 IS have us nonplussed. We hate to judge a camera just on its looks, but the lack of features don't give us much choice. Still, if you've fallen in love with this cheery snapper, you haven't wasted your money.
Canon Digital IXUS 80 IS
Canon's Digital IXUS 80 IS adds optical image stabilisation to last year's hit IXUS 70, while delivering just as impressive image quality.
Fujifilm FinePix S5700
The Fuji FinePix S5700 is a sturdy, mid-priced camera for those hoping to achieve that greater degree of creative freedom with their photos. However, those shy of undergoing its learning curve may overlook its strengths and possibilities.
Fujifilm FinePix F50fd
The Fujifilm FinePix F50fd should please most snapshooters and its above-average exposure controls should appeal to advanced photographers, too.
Canon PowerShot S2 IS
An upgrade from the PowerShot S1 IS, this camera aims to please consumers who want to shoot like a pro.
Canon PowerShot TX1
The TX1's unique design is sure to turn heads, but it's also quite awkward to use, and its still image quality isn't up to Canon's usual standards.
Canon PowerShot A710 IS
Canon's A series continues to deliver tons of bang for the buck, this time including optical image stabilisation, 6X optical zoom, and solid image quality in a midsize compact camera with a stylish design update.
Canon Digital IXUS 850 IS
The Canon Digital IXUS 850 IS puts an optically stabilised, wide-angle lens into a pocketable package.
