Digital cameras have the potential to get really small. The only part which takes up any real room is the lens mechanism, but Kyocera, which bought Yashica some years back, has even condensed that down in ...

We've tried hard to think of a sensible, non-covert and non-sordid use for this little gadget, but we've failed. It's a spy camera, pure and simple. So if you want to keep an eye on people, ...

The Olympus Camedia C-4040Z is the latest in a series of compact digital cameras to share the same basic chassis, starting with the 2-megapixel C-2000 launched back in 1999. The C-4040Z is a 4-megapixel update of ...

This high-end Olympus digital camera uses a different design to the C-200. Styled much like a conventional SLR (and it is an SLR camera), it uses the image captured on the 2.1Mpixel CCD directly in an ...

Olympus's Camedia C-200 Zoom follows the lines of previous Olympus digital cameras. It's a bit wider and lower than most, but is still comfortable to hold. The controls are easy to use, as there are surprisingly ...

HP has developed two cameras in collaboration with Pentax - Pentax produced the optics and HP provided the digital camera intelligence and PC connection. The PhotoSmart 618 is the cheaper of the two and looks much ...

Alone among the cameras reviewed here, the Fujifilm has an all-metal case, and one designed by FA Porsche, no less. Adhering to Fujifilm's favoured vertical design, the camera takes a bit of getting used to, but ...

This 2.1Mpixel camera looks very much like a typical compact 35mm. A 3x optical zoom lens telescopes out of the front face when you press an indented power button on the back and the image is ...

Some people are put off by ordinary photography because it's too complicated. Add the word 'digital' and this point of view is made even more acute. Kodak's DX3500 digital camera is designed to simplify picture taking ...

For all their usefulness, digital cameras still compare unfavourably with their conventional counterparts in two key areas. First, there's the lack of capacity for image storage, especially if you are shooting at higher resolutions, and second ...

The new Pentax EI-2000 is an 'SLR' (Single Lens Reflex), which means that you see through the optical viewfinder via the lens which takes the picture, instead of a separate viewfinder. This arrangement means you can ...

One of the latest models in the Kodak digital camera series is the DC3800. Weighing in at 165g without batteries and with dimensions of 95 x 33 x 61mm, it is so small that it can ...

Of the big-name conventional camera makers, including Nikon, Canon, Olympus and Minolta, Pentax is one of the last to enter the 'new' digital market. The Pentax EI-200 is a midrange model with some interesting innovations. Top ...

Looking very much like a conventional 35mm camera, Olympus's Camedia C-860L majors on ease of use, but is technically good, too. A sliding lens cover acts as the power switch and incorporates the flash tube. The ...

If you like a camera with all the trimmings, the DC240i won't disappoint you. Kodak has gone out of its way to pack in almost everything that's needed, with a set of NiMH rechargeable batteries, complete ...

This is a very compact little camera with a solid-feeling Duralumin body. It's small enough to slip into a pocket, but still has the highest resolution of any of the cameras in the group. It uses ...

Now this is a real camera. No translucent fruity colours or odd twisting bits to frighten you, but a simple boxy metal case which looks like a traditional 35mm compact. A convenient automated lens cap swings ...

This is the bulkiest of the cameras in this group, partly due to the inclusion of one of Iomega's Clik! drives in its body. These 40MB mini disks, using Zip technology, give the camera a capacity ...

Agfa's digital camera range used to consist mainly of rather large, clunky devices with good imaging quality but no style. Now the company has come out with this, the ePhoto CL30, which should go some way ...

Kodak's range of digital cameras has grown over the past year or so into a very competent selection of products. As technology has advanced, which it's prone to do in this fast-developing marketplace, Kodak has kept ...
