The Sigma DP2s produces stunning images, but it's a difficult camera to use and is under-featured compared to its competitors.

Impressive miniaturisation, fantastic photo and video quality and much improved controls make this the best carry-everywhere camera for those with high expectations.

Cameras DSLRs

Panasonic's G2 is a well-specified camera and the new kit lens is a great upgrade, but its image quality still can't match comparably priced DSLRs.

The interface is a decent improvement over older models, but stills image quality is ultimately poor and we'd expect better at this price.

The disappointing image quality in both still and motion pictures makes the Samsung ST70 a camera with more style than substance.

The PL150 isn't quite as good as the ST550, so we'd recommend stretching that little bit more if the second screen fits your needs.
