Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T500

The T500 is a compact point-and-shoot that incorporates HD movie recording, and is one of the first cameras to capture stereo sound. We only wish the image quality was better.

Nikon Coolpix P6000

The P6000 is one of the first cameras to include GPS and it could well carve a niche for Nikon, but it has a lot of potential to be a better camera.

Fujifilm FinePix J50

The J50 is strictly for beginners who want a simple shooter to start exploring the world of photography. While the extensive modes make up for the lack of fancy features, little has been done to salvage the less-than-desired image quality.

With poor indoor white balance, soft images, and sluggish performance, it's best to give this camera a pass.

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H50

Plentiful features with all manner of adjustable options, entertaining gimmicks and rock-solid shooting make us like this camera a lot. If you could stick an SD card slot in there, it'd be one of the best superzooms we've seen. Sadly, it loses marks for the proprietary connections.

Ricoh GR Digital II

The GR Digital II is a cute compact camera that might appeal to street photographers looking to step away from a rangefinder and into digital, but doesn't deliver the features, performance, or image quality it should given its steep price tag.

Being waterproof up to 40m and with access to all of the FS5 or FS3's functionality, the MCFS5 marine case is perfect for the regular scuba diver or snorkeller. If you can afford it, that is.

Samsung i8

Aimed at amateurs, the Samsung i8 is a user-friendly digital camera with strong multimedia functionality and helpful how-to guides. Slow performance and the sometimes frustrating logic of the main menu will mean this is probably one to skip unless you're interested in the bare basics.

The UDC-7M is an entry level snapshooter that offers ease of use and long battery life for a low price, but is let down by sub par photo quality.
