'a camera that could really appeal to an enthusiast'
'It's a small and tough package, with a rubberised grip on the right-hand side and precise, almost military-looking controls.'
'With the GX100, Ricoh has set out to combine the quality, performance and versatility of a high-end semi-pro camera with the convenience and portability of a pocket compact.'
'It has everything I am personally looking for in a compact camera'
'The Casio Exilim EX-S500 is the latest ultra-compact from Casio.'
'When traveling, you must take both the cradle and the compact power adapter with you; the only connector on the camera is for slotting it into the cradle.'
'It's tiny and works great.'
'For what might seem a “fun” camera the Casio delivered very decent compression.'
'With the optional, acrylic waterproof housing that is newly-designed for the Optio S4i, everywhere may well include the exciting world of underwater digital photography'
'large prints and full-size viewing it's disappointing.'
'If you have large hands, the S4i's small size will pose a challenge when you try to change the zoom with your thumb and keep your finger on the trigger while holding the camera one-handed.'
'Unfortunately, the resolution of the screen is not so hot, with just 85k pixels (compare that with 118k pixels on the PowerShot S410's 1.5" display).'
