Olympus C-2100 Ultra Zoom
With a 10x zoom most users will struggle to hold this steady at the magnified end (especially when increasing to the 1000mm digital zoom) so Olympus have added an image stabilisation feature to prevent this. This means you have a stunningly powerful camera capable of shooting many types of subject. I took one to a pop concert and was able to fill the frame with the artist where normally he would have been a blob in the centre. Another top feature is the LCD viewfinder that lets you preview pictures without draining batteries as quickly. The downside is the brightness can be harsh on your eye, especially when using it in darker surroundings.

Nikon COOLPIX 700
Looks like a squashed up version of the 950 with the swivelling bit removed. Feature wise it's also cut down – same resolution as the 950 but with a fixed lens. If size is more important and you can do without a zoom the lens quality makes this worth considering.

Nikon COOLPIX 880
If you drool over the features of the Coolpix 990 but just can't get on with the swivel bodied design you should consider this one. It has a slightly less powerful zoom but a host of features including 11 program scene modes that have been designed to make shooting tricky exposures easier. These include favourites such as night scene and close up, along with beach and an unusual firework show mode.

Nikon COOLPIX 990
The Coolpix 990 is stunning. It takes all the best features from the Coolpix 950, improves the weak points and adds higher resolution in a refined body shape. The lens is excellent, exposure system spot on and the range of user controllable features gives you plenty of creative scope. If you're ready to buy a camera in this price range the 990 should be at the top of your list.

Nikon COOLPIX 950
One of the first cameras to convert enthusiast photographers to try a digital camera. It has a useful rotating viewfinder and controls for the aperture and shutter speed making it versatile and the two million pixel resolution is good enough for producing decent 10x8 prints. There were a few design problems such as a flimsy card slot cover located near the tripod mount and an LCD viewfinder that's difficult to see in most daylight conditions otherwise it's still worth considering.

Minolta Dimâge 2330Z
A zoom version of the 2300 with, if you've figured the model number out, a 3x optical zoom. It's competitively priced and has a very attractive look with familiar Minolta characteristics. Useful 2.3miilion pixel resolution along with CompactFlash storage and USB to make it a doddle to get the picture into the computer or printed.

Minolta Dimâge 2300
Minolta have got the film scanner market and the APS camera market sorted, but their consumer digital cameras are a little lacking. The main thing that makes this one stand out is the price. It's one of the most competitive two million pixel models, but the fixed lens may put many off.

Leica Digilux 4.3
The Digilux takes the body of the Fuji 4700, adds a Leica lens (we're told), a smart slice of leather for the handgrip and badges it a Leica. If you can find this version for the same price as the Fuji buy it, otherwise you're only paying a supplement for the privilege of impressing the Leica enthusiast at the local camera club! Unless, of course, you're tempted by the leather!

Kyocera MicroElite 3300
Yashica has always been a name to consider in the film based camera market but they've never quite got it cracked in the digital arena. This 3.3 million pixel model is their best to date. It's a compact design with a 2x zoom but has no optical finder, making it heavily dependent on batteries and difficult to use in bright conditions. The shutter speed range is fine and the range of file saving options, also the fact you can use IBM's Microdrive to store pictures is something many don't have. The price includes a card reader.

Kyocera Finecam S3
Feature a new Epson technology that allows data captured to be held within the picture information. Then, when used with an Epson printer this Print Image Matching ensure that prints are accurately reproduce from the image created by the camera. This should, if it works correctly avoid overexposed flash shots and incorectly coloured sunsets etc.

Kodak EZ 200
Low cost and pocket sized model with USB connection and a movie mode. It's fine for e-mailing photos and adding images to Web pages, but not much use for printing high quality photos.

Kodak DC 5000
A 2x zoom and two million pixel CCD are shortfalls on a camera of this price so why should you consider it? Its main selling point is the rugged casing making it the first camera that's really practical for the outdoor photographer – the camera could be used comfortably on a building site or in the rugged landscape – even with gloves on. The only downside to the design is it's bulkier than others – feels good though. If you don't need a weatherproof feature, the DC3400 is a more sensible option.

Kodak DC 4800
Kodak's top consumer model with a 3 million pixel CCD and solid feel. The camera is intuitive to use and has some great features, including a sync socket for studio flash. The built-in flash pops up when needed and apertures and shutter speeds can be manually selected for creative control. This is arguably Kodak's best digital effort yet.

Kodak DC 3800
This one won't win any prizes in a beauty contest with its basic but functional design. It does, however, function with ease and has a simple scrolling menu system using a couple of buttons around the LCD. The two million pixel resolution is its main benefit, because the fixed lens and basic feature list won't gain it points. As with al Kodak's it has the popular CompactFlash card and a reader is thrown in for free.

Kodak DC 215 Zoom
This is not an outstanding camera in terms of looks, but it is a good value megapixel model, especially considering it has a zoom lens. Comes with a 4Mb CompactFlash card and can capture up to 54 images on one card.
