For most the past four years, if you wanted to buy a waterproof compact camera, you had a choice of either a Pentax Optio W series, or something from the Olympus mju SW range but the recent growth in popularity of outdoor adventure sports and activity holidays has opened up the market for cameras that [...]

Panasonic DMC-FH3/FS11
Panasonic has real form in making solidly built, pocket-friendly compact cameras. Panasonic Lumix DMC-FS11 is a slim compact camera that is very fast and offers plenty of features to make it an easy-to-use everyday snapper. The diminutive Lumix FS11 weighs only 149g.
Panasonic DMC-FH1
Panasonic introduces the new 2010 line of Lumix digital cameras, which includes the 12.1 megapixel Panasonic Lumix DMC FH1 digital camera. Actually it looks like a pretty cheap and moderately durable camera. It’s thin, which is very important, feels good in the hand, and has the controls in pretty well-placed spaces.
Olympus FE-5040
Similar to the FE-5050, the Olympus FE-5040 is an easy-to-use, affordable camera, but as well as being a touch bigger and heavier, it has less mega-pixels and less scene modes. Announced in August and available in silver, black, red and orange. A similar camera to consider at this price is the Nikon Coolpix S570.

However, the camera does indeed have a nacreous [...]
Olympus FE-5010
While the FE series cameras cannot file your income tax return for you, they can perform numerous challenging tasks and are as smart as they look.

Olympus µ Tough 3000
The first part of substantial compact camera range refresh by Olympus begins with the µ (mju) Tough 3000 (Europe / Asia name). The Olympus Mju Tough 3000 (also known as the Stylus Tough 3000) is the newest member of Olympus’ extensive range of shockproof and waterproof digital camera range. Perfect for everyday adventures, the new [...]
Nikon Coolpix S6000
When a 5x zoom isn’t enough and a 10x zoom is too much, there are the likes of the 7x zoom Nikon Coolpix S6000. Combined with its 28mm-equivalent wide-angle starting point, you get an extra bit of flexibility in a pocketable body that does make a difference, especially when there’s just no physical way to [...]
