Olympus MJU 7020

Olympus Mju 7020

By Alexandra Savvides

Olympus Mju 7020 review: We're a bit ambivalent about the Olympus Mju 7020. It's got a wide-angle lens and a relatively long zoom at 7x, but misses out on good picture quality and class-leading features like HD movie recording.

Wide-angle, 7x optical zoom lens • HDMI connectivity

No HD movie • Picture quality not great when compared to other compacts in its class

Canon IXUS 120 IS / PowerShot SD940 IS / IXY 220 IS

Canon IXUS 120 IS

By Alexandra Savvides

Canon IXUS 120 IS review: This is a great little compact camera equipped with pretty much everything you could ask for, like HD video and a stylish body, so we've awarded it our Editors' Choice award.

One of the best looking cameras in its class • Great image quality • HD video recording

No zoom during movie mode • So-so performance

Canon PowerShot SX120 IS

Canon PowerShot SX120 IS

By Joshua Goldman

Canon PowerShot SX120 IS review: Canon's SX120 IS pocket megazoom falls behind the competition in every aspect except photo quality.

Easy to use • Best-in-class photo quality • Manual and semi-manual controls

Fewer features, slower performance, and bulkier design than competitive models

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX65

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX65

By Alexandra Savvides

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX65 review: It's a good camera that can take some beautiful pictures, but for the price and the lack of extra features, the FX65 doesn't live up to our expectations of value — and its video quality is terrible.

Lovely wide-angle 25mm lens with 5x optical zoom • Looks pretty stylin' • Easy to use • Takes some stunning pictures

Expensive • No zoom in movie mode. At all. Nada. Not even digital • Plus the movies are grainy and pretty bad • Incremental updates to the previous camera. Oh, and it looks much the same too

LG Watch Phone GD910

LG Watch Phone GD910 hands on review: It was the talk of the town at CES 2009, and now we've had a chance to have a look for ourselves. Get ready for some serious Dick Tracy styling.

Samsung WB500

Samsung WB500

By Leonard Goh

Samsung WB500 review: The WB500 is a good camera that delivers quality shots, but unfortunately its lacklustre performance won't go down well with seasoned photographers.

24mm ultra-wide-angle lens with 10x optical zoom • Effective optical image stabiliser • Clever playback and editing mode • Decent image quality

Inconsistent focusing in low-light environments • Slight lag when taking pictures at high ISOs • Limited manual exposure settings

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T90

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T90

By Alexandra Savvides

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T90 review: Looking for a touchscreen camera? The T90 should be on your list as it packs a heck of a lot of features into a pretty stylish case.

Small and stylish • Nice, consistent images if a little temperamental in studio situations • HD video • Optical zoom works while filming

Slippery to hold without wrist strap attached • Fingers can obscure the lens if you hold the camera incorrectly • Touchscreen is a little fidgety at times • No wide-angle optics

Fujifilm FinePix F70EXR

Fujifilm FinePix F70EXR

By Leonard Goh

Fujifilm FinePix F70EXR review: If you can forgo the boring design and lack of HD video recording, the FinePix F70EXR has a lot to offer.

Very decent picture quality, even in low lighting situations • Useful Pro Low-Light and Focus modes • Compact chassis • Good colour reproduction

Uninspiring camera design • Shooting specifications not on par with competitors
