A handsome little camera that's built to withstand water, impacts and cold. Sadly, image quality is astonishingly bad.

Image quality is nothing special, but this rugged, waterproof, low-cost camera makes a lot of sense in inhospitable environments.

A quirky camera with plenty of charm, but it struggles to compete with big-sensor compacts from the better established brands.

A stylish ultra-slim camera at an attractive price, but image quality is simply appalling.

High image quality and lots of impressive features, but painfully slow menus are enough to put us off

Superb controls squeezed into a small space, but poor image quality in low light is a significant flaw for a large-sensor camera.

Slimmer and lighter than the GF1 but image quality is eclipsed by the cheaper Sony NEX-5

Taking 3D photos and videos is great fun, but 3D playback options are limited and the W3 isn’t so impressive in 2D mode.

An affordable compact ultra-zoom camera that delivers the goods – as long as you can put up with the bulky design and AA batteries.

Cameras Compact cameras

It’s not perfect, but with the best photo and video quality we’ve seen from a pocket-sized ultra-zoom camera, it’s an obvious Best Buy.
