5. Pentax Optio A10
Pentax has brought the might of its heritage to the 8-megapixel A10, for a camera that’s small but produces stunning image quality.
4. Olympus SP-350
The 8-megapixel SP-350 feels natural and comfortable, and offers a useful range of creative photographic features at the price.
3. Fujifilm FinePix F30
Fujifilm’s 6.3-megapixel Super CCD sensor enables great low-light results. Capable of about 500 shots between battery charges.
2. Canon Digital IXUS 800 IS
The 6-megapixel IXUS 800 IS combines style with robust build quality. The auto-settings get everything right almost every time.
1. Canon PowerShot S3 IS
The 6-megapixel S3 IS is incredibly versatile for a compact camera, with a generous 12x optical zoom, which is equivalent to 36-432mm, giving real power at the telephoto end, complete with image stabilisation. There’s a wealth of exposure modes, as well as Metered Manual. Autofocus is fast and accurate, taking advantage of a quiet motor, and uses FlexiZone, which enables you to place the main focus point within the frame.
The bottom line: This camera is almost as versatile as an SLR and creates beautifully rendered pictures.
