Best long zoom compact cameras

Reviews The average compact camera packs a 3x zoom, while anything larger than 10x qualifies as a superzoom. But there's a growing number of cameras in the 3-10x hinterland that combine compact portability with distant-shooting goodness.

6-megapixel compact cameras

Reviews In the compact camera market, 6 megapixels is the new black. It's the safest bet for camera manufacturers, guaranteeing their compacts will measure up to the competition without looking overdressed -- at least during 2006.

Pentax Optio A30 review

Reviews The Pentax Optio A30 is an understated 10-megapixel compact. It's not the slimmest compact in the world, but it is one of the smallest to include optical image stabilisation. Modest it may be, but the A30 is Pentax's best compact.Edited by Jason...

Nikon Coolpix S610 review

Reviews What would it take to get you to spend £230 on a compact digital camera? The Active Child mode will be a big selling point for anyone who's ever chased a child around the house with a conventional compact digicam, though it's not really any more...

Olympus E-510 review

Reviews As compact cameras continue to evolve into commodity items, camera makers have shifted the way they approach their entry-level digital SLRs. In Olympus' case, the E-410 and E-510 include Live View LCD preview mode to mimic the way you frame a shot...

Canon Digital IXUS 75 review

Reviews The Canon Digital IXUS 75 is a stylish slimline compact camera with an enormous LCD screen and plenty of bits under the bonnet. You don't get any internal memory but we actually like that, as compact onboard memories are usually so paltry as to be...

BenQ DC-T700 review

Reviews The BenQ DC-T700 is a slender compact that still manages to cram an enormous screen to a pocketable package. We investigate whether it's different enough from the Pentax T30, with which the DC-T700 shares most of its innards, or any of the other...

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX33 review

Reviews The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX33 is low and compact, so it's a pleasant surprise to find they've packed in so many features. Still, for £200, we expect plenty from a compact, especially when there are so many cheaper 8-megapixel cameras with 64mm (2.5...
