Fujifilm S100FS, Olympus 1030 SW, GE G2 and E1050, Sony DSC-T300 and Sigma DP1 from PMA

As well as developing the 35mm sensor, Sony was busy on the camera front. The W series of smile-shootin' compacts is joined by new entries to the S series, now juiced by lithium-ion batteries rather than AA. We also meet the Sony Cybershot DSC-T300. Like the iPhone, it only has one button -- the shutter -- and like Apple's mobile, the T300 boasts touchscreen controls, lots of features, and sleek minimalist design.

As well as the truly enormous 89mm (3.5-inch) screen, the 10-megapixel T300 claims to be able to tell the difference between children's and adult faces. It remains to be seen how it would cope with the Krankies -- or Gary Coleman, for our colonial cousins.
