A competent low-cost camera with an impressive set of features, but paying just a little more brings big benefits
Not without problems, but serviceable photo and video quality, fun designs and a low price add up to an attractive deal.
The video mode is disappointing but photo quality is marginally the best we’ve ever seen. Rival cameras offer better value, though.
With breakneck performance, friendly controls, tons of features and remarkably little image noise, we’re won over by this keenly priced SLR.
Pentax takes a typical modern compact and gives it a retro cosmetic makeover. If the idea appeals, so might the end product.
The design looks elegant but is functionally unremarkable, but the H90 costs less than we’d expect
We love the slinky design, but there’s little else to make this camera stand out.
Tries to provide too much for too little – sadly, image quality is overlooked.
This capable all-rounder has excellent performance and image quality, but lens upgrades can be expensive.
