Olympus E-420 review
Looking like one of the maker’s OM models from the 1980s, Olympus’ latest Four Thirds camera, the tiny E-420, replaces the E-410 as the world’s smallest digital SLR.

Casio Exilim Card S10 review
By far the smallest camera in this group test, the Exlim Card S10 isn’t quite credit-card sized as the name suggests, but it’s half the thickness of most of its rivals.

Fujifilm FinePix F50fd review
At almost £70 less expensive than most of its rivals here – and £111 less than Canon’s Ixus 970 IS – the FinePix F50fd seems like a total bargain.

Nikon Coolpix P5100 review
Next to the other models we’ve looked at here, the Coolpix P5100 is a bit on the chunky side, but as the camera is actually pitched against higher-end models, it’s actually pretty small.

Ricoh R8 review
The R8 is an engineering marvel, cramming a whopping 7x lens into a body that’s on the larger size compared to the other group test models, but still slips into your pocket easily.

Of all the cameras here, the Cyber-shot W300 offers the best balance of size, performance and ease-of-use – and to us, it’s the best-looking to boot.

Nikon Coolpix P5100 review
Boasting a new 12-megapixel resolution CCD and image-stabilized zoom lens, the P5100 is an update to the maker’s almost pro-level P5000 compact.

Pantone ColorMunki review
With the ColorMunki Design Pantone is trying to make colour more exciting. It’s a winning mix of cute hardware and ludicrously easy-to-use software with a unique mix of colour tools.

Canon HG10 review
At first glance, the HG10 might look rather out-of-place in this line-up, but it has several features that could make it suitable if your HD video-production needs are modest and occasional.

Canon XH-A1 review
Last year, Canon’s XH-A1 bowled us over with its keen price and exceptional capabilities in low light. But the market has moved forward – particularly Sony’s offerings.

JVC GY-HD201E review
JVC differentiates considerably between its consumer and professional ranges. Of all the camcorders on test, the GY-HD201E feels most like TV studio equipment.

Panasonic AG-HVX200 review
When we last looked at Panasonic’s AG-HVX200, its shooting flexibility greatly impressed us, but the lack of editing support for DVCPRO HD recorded to P2 card rather limited its usage...

Sony’s HVR-Z1E has become a classic, and is now the standard tool of the independent videographer – so the HVR-Z7E has a lot to live up to.
