Magix Movie Edit Pro 16 Plus review Not short of powerful features and the interface is better than average too, but outshone by the similar Sony Vegas Platinum
£53

Olympus SP-800UZ review It may have a massive 30x zoom, but basic controls and poor results at telephoto zoom settings mean the SP-800UZ is one to avoid.
Sony Vegas Movie Studio HD Platinum 10.0 review The core editing tools are as good as ever, and with more tracks, Blu-ray authoring and some fantastic new effects, it’s an unbeatable package.
£51
Pentax Optio H90 review The design looks elegant but is functionally unremarkable, but the H90 costs less than we’d expect
