The 12.1-megapixel Lumix DMC-FP8 doesn't look like anything special, but it successfully tackles a problem that plagues most other ultra-compact cameras: slow performance.

Canon Digital IXUS 200 IS review

Thu, 05 Nov 2009 12:43:02 +0000

Canon has played it safe with the Digital IXUS 200 IS, aiming for steady evolution rather than technical innovation. The result is a perfectly decent compact camera. It offers good colours and details at low ISOs, its touchscreen is effective and its 5x extra-wideangle zoom is very useful
