As the summer season approaches, it might be time to update your camera. We pick six of the best compacts on the market

CONTINUALLY packing more features into compact cameras is the only way that the manufacturers can stave off the ever-present pressure from mobile handset manufacturers whose handset snappers are increasing in resolution and in shot quality too.

Prices of compact digital cameras have fallen dramatically over the last 12 months yet the build quality of these units is stunning.

They produce images that can be printed with extreme clarity as a postcard or A4 sheet size without any loss of detail. Even A3 prints are good enough to hang on the wall.

Here's our pick of the best digital compacts out there right now.
