Canon PowerShot A800
Bulkier than most digital compact cameras and with a child-proof look about it, Canon’s new PowerShot A800 is aimed at handbag amateurs and folk who are purely interested in cheap digital photography. The good news is that it meets that brief with aplomb – and more besides – though it certainly won’t suit everyone. Old-school,…
Casio Exilim EX-H20G
With more than enough point-and-shoot cameras on the market to bamboozle, it makes good marketing sense for a new model to have a standout feature. Casio’s Exilim EX-H20G has just that, in the form of a hybrid GPS tracking device. A lot of cameras now have GPS to geo-tag photos, but this is something even…
FujiFilm FinePix Z900EXR
FujiFilm has always included a smart range of chic, compact digital cameras with new technologies in its repertoire, and last year’s attractive FinePix Z800EXR was one of the brightest in the constellation. This year’s upgraded FinePix Z900EXR is a bid to go one better in the eyes of the style-conscious crowd. There’s no denying the…
Nikon Coolpix P300
Even DSLR owners don’t want to take a bulky camera and all the accessories out with them on every casual shooting expedition. Sometimes, it would be nice to have a something more compact but which still had most of the features and quality you’re used to. The Nikon COOLPIX P300 fits neatly into that niche…
Kodak EasyShare Touch
Kodak has never been slow to keep up with camera innovations – or, it seems, social trends. Its new Kodak EasyShare Touch compact digital will have instant appeal for the instant gratification, social networking crowd who want good quality pictures uploaded as fast as possible. As the name suggests, the EasyShare Touch operations centre around…
FujiFilm XP30
Although it’s water, dust and shock proof, FujiFilm’s rather rugged XP30 compact digital camera isn’t aimed at the bomb-proof travel camera’ market. Instead, it’s designed to protect itself from clumsy family members – including, but not limited to, kids. That said, we could still see a place for the svelte 165g XP30 in the daysack…
Panasonic Lumix DMC-FT3
Compact digital cameras are often small enough to fit in a shirt pocket, but Panasonic has gone the other way with its Lumix DMC-FT3. Only recently launched but already discounted online, its tough exterior is an attempt to create a camera that can withstand the rigours of travel, hiking or adventure sports. And it really…
Pentax Optio S1
The Pentax Optio S range has always been popular, because it combines stylish good looks with a solid build and high-quality photo images. You won’t be surprised to learn that the Optio S1 continues in the same tradition. It’s been three years since we saw the last in the range – the S12 – and…
Olympus SP-610UZ
Olympus has recently release a spate of new digital cameras. We recently investigated the VG-130, which is essentially an entry-level model for those new to compact digitals, giving them plenty of features for less than £100. The SP-610UZ shares many of the same specifications as its younger sibling, but offers one major advantage: a massive…
FujiFilm FinePix X100
If the words ‘compact digital camera’ conjure up images of a slim, credit card-sized device you can slip in your top pocket, the FinePix X100 will come as something of a surprise. At 445g with battery and SD card installed, this little monster is seriously heavy, thanks to its precision die-cast magnesium alloy body, which…
