Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX90
Since introducing its first digital camera as long ago as 1997, Panasonic has built its Lumix brand into a market leader with a solid reputation for quality and technical innovation. I’ve reviewed well over a hundred different Panasonic cameras over the years, and I’ve become accustomed to finding very few faults with them. It comes…
Olympus SH-21
The Olympus SH-21 compact digital camera is all about style and performance, with the manufacturer packing as many features as possible into a relatively slim casing, while still managing to make the camera look cool in a crowd. Available in three striking colours – metallic gold, black and red – the SH-21 presents an image…
Kodak EasyShare M5350
The clue, of course, is all in the name. Kodak’s EasyShare range is specifically designed for happy snappers who don’t want to spend hours in micro-management before they take their photo and who are also impatient to share with the world (or at least with their friends) their most recent events on film.

Fujifilm FinePix F600 EXR digital camera
The Fujifilm FinePix F600 EXR digital camera is a ‘travel camera’ – part of a burgeoning market that cynical types might see as an excuse for manufacturers to resurrect chunky old designs and call then ‘rugged’.

It’s not that it doesn’t do what it says on the tin, but this shockproof, waterproof and dust-proof camera isn’t in the same league as some rivals – and in some…
Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ100
Having fallen in price by a third since its launch late last year, at a street price of less than £300 Panasonic’s classic fixed-lens bridge camera is now in serious danger of becoming a bargain. Based on a popular camera design that’s enjoyed creeping changes over the last few years, this incarnation increases its appeal…
Canon IXUS 220 HS
Canon makes two ranges of compact digital cameras: The budget PowerShot and the enthusiast IXUS. But even though the IXUS cameras have a generally higher specification, the new IXUS 220 HS still comes in at well under £200 – and boasts a wealth of powerful automatic features to help you take consistently great photos. Low-light…
Nikon Coolpix S9100
Nikon’s Coolpix range of compact digital cameras has built up a worthy reputation for marrying stylish good looks with ease of use and high-quality images – and not only does the company’s latest S9100 continue in this fine tradition, but Nikon has now shown that it is ready to take on rivals in the ‘travel…
