3-megapixel camera phones

Reviews The latest camera phones to come out in the UK feature 3-megapixel cameras -- a far cry from the original VGA ones, they are a definite step closer to competing with standalone digital cameras. Before you think that all 3-megapixel camera phones...

6-megapixel compact cameras

Reviews If pocket space is at a premium, consider the superslim Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T9 (or its successor, the 7-megapixel Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T30). If you can't quite find the budget for one of these cameras, see whether there's a 5.0-megapixel version...

Olympus u [mju:] 720 SW review

Reviews The most hardy µ to date, the Olympus µ 720 SW is a waterproof, 7.1-megapixel camera that's fully submersible up to 3m, for an hour at a time. At 3.8fps for an effectively unlimited number of shots, high-speed burst is better, though it requires...

Panasonic Lumix DMC-LZ2B review

Reviews Panasonic offers this compact camera as an alternative to its diminutive Lumix DMC-FX7, which also specs out at a 5-megapixel resolution. For about £30 less, you can opt for Panasonic's 4-megapixel Lumix DMC-LZ1B, which aside from its resolution...

Panasonic Lumix DMC-LZ1B review

Reviews Priced lower than its 5-megapixel Lumix DMC-LZ2B sibling, this affordable point-and-shoot offers the same 6x zoom lens with a 37mm-to-222mm reach (35mm-camera equivalent) and the same highly desirable optical image stabilisation to counter shaky...

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W130 review

Reviews FeaturesThe W130 keeps the W90's 8-megapixel resolution, 64mm (2.5-inch) LCD, and optical viewfinder. This 8-megapixel shooter sports a shiny new shell and a slightly longer lens, but otherwise feels like a carbon copy of its predecessor, the Cyber...

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W90 review

Reviews The 8-megapixel camera uses a 35-105mm equivalent, f/2.8-5.2 lens, giving it a standard 3x zoom range. This £140, 8-megapixel point-and-shoot camera offers a higher resolution than its predecessor, the Cyber-shot DSC-W80, but otherwise doesn't...

Microsoft LifeCam VX-7000 review

Reviews Like Logitech's QuickCam Pro 9000, the £45 Microsoft LifeCam VX-7000 features a 2-megapixel sensor, but if you use any resolution above 640x480 pixels, the resulting video is choppy. The camera's 2-megapixel sensor struggled when recording video at...

Fujifilm FinePix S100FS review

Reviews The Fujifilm FinePix S100FS is an 11-megapixel bridge camera. Imaging is handled by an 11-megapixel CCD, which is 2/3 of an inch -- bigger than the average compact's sensor. Top 7, last 7 and top 50 burst modes save the first and last seven or...
