It has been about two years since Panasonic's last LX-series camera, the DMC-LX2, was launched. One of the most interesting things about that model was its 16:9 aspect ratio sensor and a good range of manual controls not usually found in digital compact cameras. We spent a day with the upcoming successor to the LX2, the DMC-LX3. Here's what we found out.

With Bluetooth on-board but few other bells and whistles, the Parrot Photo Frame might be a one-trick pony — but this connectivity option is arguably the one genuinely useful feature you'll need in a digital photo frame.

The Canon Selphy CP770 is a neat, little dye-sublimation printer that includes a bucket for easy travel, but the battery pack which would make it totally portable is not included.

Boasting many of the internal bits from the professional-spec (and professionally priced) D3, the D700 is an (almost) affordable full-frame dSLR. It faces up to the Canon 5D with a 12.1-megapixel CMOS sensor, 51 auto-focussing points, 5fps or 8fps shooting depending on battery and mini-HDMI out.

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

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.

Camera phones with 5 megapixels are no longer just for people with huge pockets. The C902 packs a very mean shooter into a very slim package and delivers excellent photos.

The smart Pentax Optio S12 looks and feels as classy and assured as any of the Pentax S series from recent years. The venerable chassis, though, doesn't really suit such a high-resolution sensor — the previous 10-megapixel S10 gives just as much usable detail.

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.

Most users won't need Lexar's Professional UDMA reader, but if you're already deep in the high-capacity, high storage flash market, it's a great buy.

Into its fourth collaboration with Pentax since the GX-1L dSL, Samsung has come a long way to providing an alternate photographic solution for advanced photographers.

The Olympus Mju 1020 offers a broad feature set in a slim, stylish package, but average image quality and memory card restrictions may dissuade buyers.

The G800's chunky, pocket-straining dimensions promises a level of quality that isn't evident in the photos it takes. It's better than average, but well below the best we've seen.

Besides the start-up time and stylus, it is hard to find fault with the FX520. Image quality has also improved and we really like the features that are incorporated with the touchscreen.

We can't ignore the demand for simple, pocketable and cheap cameras, but with almost no features, clunky controls and an uninspiring screen the S210 just isn't trying.

The Samsung NV11 can produce some very nice-looking pictures, but its unique interface isn't for everyone.
