You might consider this model if you're a beginner looking for good image quality, but there are better buys elsewhere.

A fairly poor choice in this price point, especially compared to Olympus' other offerings. Only recommended for new users

An average camera that produces some nice shots, but is marred by minor problems.

If zooming is your thing, then the S4 might be the perfect point and shoot for you.

A pricey camera that offers never before seen technology, but ultimately unless you are a touch screen fanatic, it isn't worth the price tag.

A really solid attempt by Kodak. If they improved the sensor on this model, and managed to squeeze a bit more life from the battery, they could have a winner on their hands.

A little disappointing, the MJU 810 doesn't quite live up to its predecessor's name offering a solid if not awe inspiring compact model with poorer than expected image quality.

As a budget compact camera, the FinePix A500 is a fairly competant model. It doesn't offer the best image quality in the world, and has some noise issues, but for this price tag it is hard to complain.

A low end six megalpixel camera, the F470 is a decent but not outstanding model that fails to differentiate itself from the myriad of compacts on the market.

A competant but not oustanding budget offer, the Coolpix L4 will more than suffice for occasional snapshots.

While it does offer some nifty features, the FX07 produces noisy pictures no quite on par with other competing models.

While the FX50 did exhibit a lot of noise, it was extremely small and it performed well in all our other tests, so unless you're magnifying your shots to a great degree it may be a contender.
