On the face of it, the R1v provides plenty of resolution, enough for prints up to and over A3 and at a very competitive price indeed. There’s control enough to satisfy the enthusiast snapper and point and shoot brigade alike and all put together in one attractive package with a great lens.

In fact, I was raving about this camera until I got to inspect the images closely, then I was just raving mad. The camera is heavily let down by odd image artifacts; stripes running across each frame. This is a real shame for a camera that would otherwise be a stunning bit of kit. If it wasn’t for the image quality this would have been an 8/10.

The Casio Exilim Card EX-S100 is a 3 megapixel digital camera with a 2.8x optical zoom lens that offers a focal length of 36-102mm and a large 2-inch LCD screen. On paper at least. In reality it is a super-compact, super-thin digicam that really has to be seen to be believed. Casio’s Exilim Card range of digital cameras has long been known for delivering incredibly small and slim models that are little bigger than a credit card. The Casio Exilim Card EX-S100 is no different with dimensions of 88mm (W) x 57mm (H) x 16.7mm (D) and weighing just 113g without the battery and storage card fitted. All of this is housed in a stylish and hard-wearing metal casing.

The Nikon Coolpix 4800 is a four megapixel digital camera with a 8.3x optical zoom lens. With its extended zoom lens this model is likely to appeal to someone who is looking for more than a standard point and shoot digital camera.

There are a number of preprogrammed scene modes to help you take the best possible picture in differing photographic conditions, but the Coolpix 4800 lacks the manual controls that are a must to any serious photographer.

It is fairly straightforward and you don’t need to be a camera expert to be able to use it and take good pictures.

The Fuji Finepix E550 is a 6.3 megapixel digital camera with a 4x optical zoom lens. The zoom lens is the equivalent to a 32.5 - 130 mm lens on a 35mm camera. The Finepix E550 is likely to appeal to anyone who is looking for a step up from a standard point and shoot camera, but does not want the expense of a fully featured, top of the range digital camera. The camera offers fully manual control and will also interest families where one member is looking for a more advanced camera that can still be used as a simple point and shoot model.
