Fujifilm FinePix A600 review

Reviews DesignThe A600's blocky body manages to be both unimpressive and awkward to use. Between its clunky body and awkward controls, the A600 simply isn't very fun or easy to use. Some might call it the archetypal budget snapshot camera -- a clunky, 6...

Olympus u [mju:] 750 Digital review

Reviews Like all in the µ series, its metal body has rubber gaskets and seals to keep water and gunk out. DesignThe µ 750's sturdy metal body is a gentle wedge shape, making the camera extremely comfortable for one-handed use.

JVC Everio GZ-MG730 review

Reviews Flip open the 69mm (2.7-inch) LCD to access buttons on the body for jumping from record to playback, turning on the built-in neutral-density filter (which decreases light transmission to allow for slower shutter speeds in bright light), a power...

Olympus u [mju:] 720 SW review

Reviews Contributing to the trim design, as well as the camera's watertight durability, is the fact that the f/3.5-to-f/5.0, 38mm-to-114mm zoom lens (35mm equivalent) doesn't protrude at all from the camera body.

6-megapixel compact cameras

Reviews The Digital IXUS 800 IS sits at the top of the range, combining an image-stabilised 4x optical zoom lens with a solid and stylish body. The combination of the sleek black or stainless steel body with a generous 64mm (2.5-inch) LCD means you'll be...

Casio Exilim EX-S770 preview

Reviews Besides its slim, stylish body, one of the EX-S770's big draws is wide-aspect support. The Casio EX-S600's tiny body impressed us, but its LCD washed out easily and its photos left a lot to be desired.

Sony Handycam HDR-SR5E review

Reviews The rest of the controls on the body sit in the places you'd expect to find them: zoom switch, photo shutter and power/mode switch fall under your index finger, while the stop/start record button lies under your thumb.

Casio Exilim EX-S770 review

Reviews The camera manages to feel solid in the hand, but its small body still has drawbacks. DesignThe S770 is a slim and attractive little camera, with a stylish metal body that's available in silver, blue or bright red.

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W50 review

Reviews They share the same body design, control layout and feature set. Surprisingly, Sony manages to fit an optical viewfinder on the DSC-W50's diminutive body. PerformanceSince the DSC-W50's lens, sensor, body design and imaging processor are identical...

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-V3 review

Reviews The camera feels very well built overall, and a rubberised coating on its grip gives your hand an excellent hold on the body. Its magnesium-alloy-and-plastic body is compact but dense, weighing 390g with its battery and Memory Stick installed.

Kodak EasyShare C743 review

Reviews DesignThe C743's 193g, blocky body feels bulky and cheap. The Olympus features a slim, stylish body and simple shooting, while the Canon offers a generous handful of manual controls to tweak your images.

Pentax K200D review

Reviews The camera is also available in body only for around £400, or a £690 chunk of change will nab you the body, the kit lens and an extra 50-200mm, f/4-5.6 lens job. The Pentax K200D has a lot to live up to after we expressed so much love for the...

Nikon Coolpix S520 review

Reviews Optical image stabilisation is included in the sturdy aluminum body. The S520 fits in the palm of the hand, with a sturdy, blocky aluminium body. The placement of the buttons in a slightly indented plateau did make the buttons located next to the...
