Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W350

A sweet little wide-angle compact, the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W350 should make a lot of snapshooters happy.

The Cyber-shot TX7 looks set to improve on Sony's TX1, with HD video, SD card compatibility and the company's Transfer Jet technology.

Nikon Coolpix S70

The S70 is a good stylish compact with the added bonus of an OLED touchscreen, but faces stiff competition from cheaper and equally competent cameras.
Nikon Coolpix S640

The S640 boasts dSLR-like responsiveness and good pictures but is let down by its price and lack of competitive features like HD video.
Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ35

The FZ35 should be at the top of any potential superzoom buyer's list, with a fully featured specification sheet and good image quality.
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.
Samsung WB500

The WB500 is a good camera that delivers quality shots, but unfortunately its lacklustre performance won't go down well with seasoned photographers.
Nikon Coolpix S710

Nikon's 14.5-megapixel offering breaks little new ground in the ongoing pixel race, but it does deliver some pleasing images even if its exterior styling is a little lacklustre.
Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX520

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.
Samsung NV24HD

With a 24mm wide lens and 720p HD video-recording, Samsung's lightweight NV24HD packs a punch.
