A slim model that makes an ideal point and shoot for people who want an all purpose camera.

The W50 is a great camera, with good performance very similar to the W30, but with a slightly larger LCD display.

Overall a solid camera, if not one that truly stands out from the crowd.

Performed well across a broad range of tests and is only really let down by its high ISO performance.

Nikon's CoolPix S520 doesn't do anything out of the ordinary. It provides decent image quality, a simple set of features and has a nice design, but it does have some speed problems and the pictures aren't perfect.

With good features and picture quality, it doesn't do much to distinguish itself from the pack, but if you're after a 5 megapixel camera with 10X zoom, you could do a lot worse than this.

This camera caters to both amateur and more experienced photographers, but has some minor problems.

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

A big optical zoom combined with robust features and solid image quality make this a good overall performer.

A solid advanced ultra-zoom from Sony that takes high quality pictures and offers a variety of advanced functions that should please.

Overall the Z850 is a solid advanced camera. It doesn't take the best photographs in the world, but it performed above average in most of our tests and crams a robust feature-set into a relatively small design.

What makes this camera shine - its 10x zoom, ease of use and sleek design - may be enough to compensate for its shortcomings.
