It may be the slimmest Digital ELPH Canon has ever created, but the impact couldn't be bigger. The PowerShot SD780 IS Digital ELPH captivates the senses with bold saturated colors and a daringly original design that matches the intensity of Canon's most innovative camera technology.

Samsung is still a relatively minor player in the digital camera world, but a few more models with specifications like those on offer with the Digimax V6 could find the Korean brand at the forefront of people’s minds. As is often the way with Samsung, the company currently holding the record for the world’s biggest plasma screen, much of the effort has gone into the headline features. In this case it’s the 6.1 megapixels of resolution and a Schneider lens that immediately turns your head, especially as it comes at an asking price where 5-megapixel compact cameras still look like good value.
Despite a number of the big boys pledging to give up the megapixel marathon in favour of focusing on image quality issues such as noise, lens resolution, chromatic aberration, and dynamic range, here we have what seems like another escalation in the resolution war. Canon has crammed a 7-megapixel sensor into its ultra-compact, Canon Powershot S70, which boasts sensor dimensions of just 1/1.8-inch. Common sense tells you that the laws of physics might just suggest that something’s got to give, especially when you consider that sticking 8 megapixels into the altogether bigger 2/3-inch sensor did little to improve resolution in real terms, and only brought extra problems with noise.
Minolta’s DiMAGE Xt is a very small digital camera indeed. It’s some 5 per cent smaller and 8 per cent lighter than the previous Xi model, and Minolta reckons that it’s the world’s slimmest digital camera. In practice, it feels about the same size as Casio’s Exilim EX-Z3 and the Pentax Optio S, but there’s one big difference.
Nikon CoolPix 3100 is pretty good value for a Nikon digital camera, and the 3.2-megapixel resolution is fine for general-purpose and snapshot photography. The styling is reminiscent of the older and more expensive 885 model, and is still used for the 4-megapixel 4100. But while it might look the same, the 3100 is a little smaller, a little lighter and – it has to be said – a little more plasticky.
