Fujifilm FinePix Real 3D W3 review
Cameras Compact camerasTaking 3D photos and videos is great fun, but 3D playback options are limited and the W3 isn’t so impressive in 2D mode.
Canon PowerShot SX130 IS review
Cameras Compact camerasAn affordable compact ultra-zoom camera that delivers the goods – as long as you can put up with the bulky design and AA batteries.
Canon Ixus 1000 HS review
Cameras Compact camerasIt’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.
Nikon Coolpix S1100pj review
Cameras Compact camerasWe like the idea of a projector-camera hybrid, but the reality is less appealing – the touchscreen is fiddly and image quality is poor.
Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-T99 review
Cameras Compact camerasThe smart design and touchscreen aren’t enough to make up for poor image quality.
Canon Powershot S95 review
Cameras Compact camerasBuilding on the success of the S90, the S95’s handling has been improved and there are some useful new features. Image quality is also right up there with the bulkier LX5, but it does lose some flexibility as a result.
Casio Exilim EX-FH100 review
Cameras Compact camerasBeautiful photos and videos, backed up by a wide range of features including a 40fps burst mode and slow-motion videos.
Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX5 review
Cameras Compact camerasPanasonic’s Lumix DMC-LX5 replaces the LX3 as the ultimate enthusiast compact, but at around £400 it’s not cheap. If the LX5’s excellent high ISO performance, great video mode and versatile 24-90mm lens sound attractive, it’s the best compact in town, but otherwise the LX3 is still a great camera and it’s almost £100 cheaper.
Samsung EX1 review
Cameras Compact camerasSamsung's EX1 is a very good camera that enthusiasts will love. It's got an excellent lens and the articulated screen is useful, but it doesn't quite do enough to beat the cheaper LX3.
