A very small, very stylish camera that is a great offering for beginner photographers.

A rare misstep for Canon, the PowerShot A450 captures exceptionally accurate colours, but falls down in several other areas, resulting in less than crisp pictures.

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

This camera would serve most people's needs, but is not exceptional. We would only really recommend it if you do a lot of macro photography.

This is a very ordinary camera with very little to make it worth recommending. Look elsewhere.

A wonderful camera that looks good, feels good and takes great shots. Highly recommended.

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

A big improvement on the S55, the S5z has exceptional image quality, a slim design and a reasonable price tag.

A novelty camera that fails at its only gimmick.

A very interesting take on the standard point-and-shoot camera.

An incredible looking camera with enough battery power to go all day. For its price it is a reasonable alternative, but if taking brilliant pictures is the primary concern buyers may want to look elsewhere.

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