While image quality isn't the FX33's strong point, it still produces perfectly fine small prints, and thus its novice-friendly feature set and speedy operation makes it a good choice for those after a happy snap camera.

A solid camera that has some nice features and takes reasonable quality pictures.

The IXUS 960 IS is a great compact camera from Canon. Consumers looking for a high-end camera to back up their SLR or to take their photography to the next level will love this unit.

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.

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

A solid compact camera that offers a great set of features, and is only really let down by long load and save times.

Competent but not outstanding, the DC C50 is worth a look if you want a compact 5 megapixel camera.

A feature-packed bundle that is a great family purchase.

A novelty camera that fails at its only gimmick.

A highly recommended purchase. Although the image quality was not quite up to what we were expecting from an 8 megapixel sensor, for the price it still blew the competition away.

A very complete camera in a small package.

A fairly average camera that has a few things to offer, but suffers from poor picture quality. There are other models in a comparable price range that offer much better images.
