Best Digital Cameras - Under $300, 10 to 15 Megapixel Resolution, 4 to 8 x Optical Zoom, Strap Included Accessories

'The new Casio EX-FC100 is the fastest digital camera in town, capable of taking 30 six megapixel images in just a single second. '

'high quality video'

'Excellent build quality.'

'dynamic image stabilisation'

'The neat design and great build are, perhaps, typically Sony, as is the price, but this little camera combines some advanced features with simplicity of use. '

'If you need a small digital camera that can also shoot Full HD video, then the tiny Sony Cyber-shot DSC-TX7 is a worthy choice. '

'good quality snapshot camera'

'Nice little camera'

'Measuring 3.75 by 2.38 by 0.66 inches and weighing five ounces, the DSC-TX1 is small enough to fit into a coat pocket, and it won't take up a lot of room in a purse. '

'If you're all gussied up, you might as well bring a camera like Sony's fashion-conscious, 10.2-megapixel  , a touchscreen camera that lets you party instead of fussing with camera settings. '

'Like the T90, the TX1 isn't the quickest camera off the mark — shutter lag measures 0.3 second, and in the high-speed burst mode the TX1 captures 10 frames in rapid succession, at an interval of approximately 0.1 second between each shot. '

'Luckily, the T90 has more to offer than just widescreen-ready images. '

'pretty sleek looking camera'

'The T90's svelte body is available in a range of colors including pink, brown, blue and black.'

'The new Nikon Coolpix S1100pj has in its heart a 40% brighter, 14-lumen projector with a built-in stand and a much improved 3-inch touchscreen that combines a simple control interface for access to menus as well as allowing you to touch a relevant area of the screen to focus at that point and quickly take a snap in a single touch.'

'its overall image quality is very pleasing, but it's a practically automatic camera.'

'The S1100pj is a unique product; no other camera on the market can match its projector function. '

'For a point-and-shoot, the Nikon Coolpix S1100pj is fine. '

'solid compact camera'

'clean overall design'

'Indeed, despite its simplicity you won't be disappointed with the fine detail this camera can capture; you'll be able to crop your images closely without making them look awful. '

'very appealing entry-level camera'

'The overall build quality is good, with a tight fit between panels and no embarrassing creaks when squeezed.'

'The camera feels good in the hand - although a bit small - and is easy to operate.'

'It's an ideal camera for novices. '

'It's an easy recommendation for those searching for a grab-and-go pocket camera and don't want or need much more than the ability to take a good photo. '

'with the Canon PowerShot SD3500 IS and feel free to compare.'

'attractive, slim camera'

'great-looking tiny camera'

'the SD890 is fairly responsive.'

'most unique looking SD camera'

'Ergonomics are generally good.'

'The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX500 was worthy of its flagship status (and its successor, the FX580 , likely will be, too).'

'This camera is super small and weighs in at just under half a pound.'

'high-end point-and-shoot'

'The FX500 is immediately recognisable as a Panasonic compact, sporting the familiar clean, smart styling, brushed metal surface and cross-hatched Lumix logo.'
