H90 review - Good for the price
I've had this for about a year now and i'm still reasonably pleased with it. I wanted a camera like this purely for fun use when i did not want to take one of my "proper" camera's. I use this for capturing nights out with friends, chucking in a bag when i go mountain biking, etc. Read more ...

A great little camera
This is great little camera, I carry it in my bag or pocket everywhere I go and use it all the time. It looks great and, in my opinion, is a perfect "point and shoot camera" for a beginner / intermediate. Read more ...
