Canon’s SLR fails to make the enormous splash of its predecessors, but it’s still a great camera in its own right.

A significant overhaul and a great camera. At this price it’s the best all-round package on the market

The attractive looks are undermined by average image quality, although it remains good value.

The Ixus 60 delivers superb image quality and is beautifully designed and built.

Canon's reign over the compact digital camera market looks set to continue with this offering.

It certainly isn’t pretty, but with results like these for such a low price the MP180 is hard to ignore

The MP500 is a great all-rounder. It’s capable of excellent print quality at high speeds, plus CD printing, has an automatic duplex module and a tempting price.

More expensive than its direct competition, but thanks to its brilliant features the D80 is money well spent.

Packed with features like network capability and transparency scanning, it also has the best scanner by far, with great print quality too.

An affordable and stylish option that provides decent quality, but at a leisurely pace.

An ideal first DSLR thanks to onscreen help. It takes great shots and the battery lasts for ages.

Good print speed, high expansion potential and quality colour output makes the C9650n a great total printing machine.

Battery life is the only downside to this excellent compact camera.

Excellent quality and speed for reflective media, but the V200 makes heavy work out of transparencies

Another big improvement, but this time it’s enough to make PowerDirector a worthy alternative to its mainstream rivals

High resolution stills and laudable quality for the money, but image stabilisation isn’t the best

It may not be a looker, but in all other respects this Panasonic is a stunning camera
