Screen is poor, no output socket cover, no memory card provided, colour problems at distance

All in all, this is really a question of budget and how much you get for your money. The screen is a serious shortcoming and would compel us to look elsewhere, perhaps for something with less than 8MP, which would be fine for normal holiday snaps and...

Relatively low chromatic aberration, pictures sharp enough for good 4in x 6in prints, fast shot-to-shot time, basic image stabilisation

Some over-sharpening issues, exposure a little off, loss of detail at higher ISOs, minimal features, sluggish start-up time

It doesn't do anything fancy and its pictures aren't perfect, but the FujiFilm FinePix J10 is a decent entry-level point-and-shoot. Its shots are fine for standard 4in x 6in prints and its basic feature set won't bother novice photographers.

Ultracompact. Inexpensive. Easy-to-use menu system. Effective image stabilization.

Noise even at the lowest ISO setting. Worse-than-average barrel distortion on wide-angle shots. Overexposed flash shots.
