A cheaper, eye catching digital camera is a great idea. After all photographer is meant to be fun. This camera is suitable for anyone who is looking for a cheaper snapshot digital camera, but it is not for anyone who is looking for high quality photos.

The Kodak Easyshare is cheap, cheerful and surprisingly good. It does have its limitations and these are covered in my review. If you have a smaller budget it is well worth checking this camera out.
Kodak Easyshare Z981	73/100
The Kodak Easyshare Z981 is a budget super zoom digital camera. My review explains areas where compromises need to be made. As well as the 26x zoom lens it also has manual exposure controls. Compared to other cameras with long zoom lenses the Easyshare Z981 is a little easier to use.

The Nikon Coolpix L23 is a simple, entry level digital camera. It is available relatively cheaply and you will find it hard to find a more straightforward digital camera. It has 10 megapixels and a 5x optical zoom lens. During my tests I found a number of issues with the Coolpix L23.
Nikon Coolpix P300	85/100
The Nikon Coolpix P300 does not offer quite the same range of features that some advanced compacts offer. When you compare prices though against say the Panasonic Lumix DMC LX5 and the Canon Powershot S95 you will see the Coolpix P300 is a fair bit cheaper. Therefore if you are looking for a digital camera with a range of advanced features and excellent picture quality, but you don’t need every bell and whistle then this camera may well be just right for you.
Nikon Coolpix P7000	86/100
The Nikon Coolpix P7000 is one of the most advanced compact digital cameras on the market. Its features are very impressive as are the pictures it takes.

Nikon Coolpix S3100	74/100
The Nikon Coolpix S3100 is a big disappointment. It does have some plus points with a low price tag, a smart, compact design and ease of use, but I found the picture quality was not up to the standard I would expect from a digital camera from Nikon.
Nikon Coolpix S80	78/100
The Nikon Coolpix S80 is a great idea. A simple, touch controlled pocket camera that looks extremely stylish. There are features I like too such as the extra large LCD screen size and its clarity. The Coolpix S80 can also shoot High Definition movies, but there are quality problems you should be aware of.
Olympus SP-800UZ	76/100
There are plenty of features packed in. These include the longest zoom available at the time of writing the review, High Definition movies, images stabilisation and a 3 inch LCD screen. I thought picture quality was disappointing.
Olympus Tough TG-310	79/100
The robust features of the Olympus Tough TG-310 are likely to prove a big attraction to many people. Unfortunately picture quality does not match the features. You might find the picture quality acceptable if all you are looking for is a camera that can take simple snapshots, but there are much better robust cameras available from other brands.
Olympus Tough TG-610	79/100
The Olympus Tough TG-610 does the job it sets out to do quite well. As well as its robust features there is nothing especially difficult about operating it. It produces fair quality snapshots without matching the quality on offer from the best robust digital cameras.
Olympus VR-310	81/100
The Olympus VR-310 offers you 10x zoom at a relatively low price. It also has 14 megapixels and can shoot High Definition movies. It can take a good quality snapshot. You may be hard pushed to find better quality at this price point if a longer lens is a big attraction to you.

Panasonic DMC FS16	84/100
The Panasonic Lumix DMC FS16 is an impressive point and shoot, pocket camera. It offers a lot of quality for a very reasonable price. Picture quality is impressive and there are one or two extra features on offer compared to other cameras in this price bracket. Recommended.
Panasonic DMC FS18	84/100
The Panasonic Lumix DMC FS18 is a great little camera. If you are looking for a reasonably priced, pocket sized camera that can take a good quality snapshot then this is one of the best cameras around. In terms of value for money this camera is hard to beat. Recommended.
Panasonic DMC FS30	85/100

The Panasonic Lumix DMC FX70 does not quite match up to the picture quality I am used to seeing from Panasonic digital cameras. It does have a lot of other plus points, but if you are looking for true clarity in your photos there are better pocket cameras around.
Panasonic DMC FX700	81/100
This camera offers touch screen control, plus some extra manual controls that you do not see very often in a camera of this size. The FX700 has a simple design. It is easy enough to use, but it may take a while to master the various features it has on offer.
Panasonic DMC FZ100	87/100
The Panasonic Lumix DMC FZ100 is an outstanding digital camera. It offers plenty of shooting options for both stills and videos and is one of the most powerful digital cameras you will find.

It performs exceptionally well in most situations and there are plenty of reasons why this camera is worth a place at the top of your digital camera shortlist. Competition is stiff in this category, but this camera is hard to beat when you look at the features it has and the quality of the pictures it takes.
Panasonic DMC TZ8	85/100
The Lumix DMC TZ8 compares very well with all its direct competitors. Picture quality is very good and the range of features is impressive too. I found it hard to find fault and I am happy to recommend this camera.

This is a good quality compact digital camera. It can take a decent snapshot in most situations. The main attraction is the combination of extra zoom in a compact body size. I found the Lumix DMC ZX3 easy to use.
Pentax Optio i-10	79/100
The Optio i-10 looks radically different to other digital cameras. It has a design based on vintage SLRs. In my tests I found more distant shots lacked sharpness. Aside from the design the features included in this camera are fairly standard.
Pentax Optio W90	77/100
The Pentax Optio W90 is a robust digital camera. This is a waterproof, drop proof and freeze proof model. It has one or two innovative features too. If you are looking for a camera that stands out from the crowd the Optio W90 certainly does that with eye catching coloured options available.

In my opinion this is one of the best quality digital cameras around. Picture quality is top drawer and Samsung have packed in a great range of features. It is a camera that is likely to appeal to people that are serious about photography.
Sony DSC H55	85/100
I like this camera. It takes good quality photos, has a range of features to keep most people happy and it feels like it has a good build quality. The competition in this category is hot, but the Cybershot DSC H55 is well worth a close look.

There is a lot to like about the Sony Cybershot DSC H70. It is a clear step up in many ways from a more basic digital camera. It offers a lot of zoom in a compact body. Picture quality impresses as does the build quality of the camera and range of features.

This pocket camera is very different to most of its competitors.

It you are on the lookout for a digital camera packed with the latest features then take a look at the Sony Cybershot DSC TX1.
Sony DSC TX10	84/100
The Sony Cybershot DSC TX10 has a great range of features, but picture sharpness can be slightly disappointing in certain situations. If you are not planning to make large prints then the issues with picture sharpness are unlikely to unduly trouble you. If on the other hand you can envisage producing larger prints of landscape style shots you may find the soft focus detracts from picture quality. Response times are very impressive.

The Sony Cybershot DSC W520 is one of the cheapest pocket cameras on the market. It has 14 megapixels and a 5x optical zoom lens. As well as the low price the other big attraction is ease of use. When it comes to picture quality there are a couple of issues worth knowing about before you buy.
