    Summary: Looking for a knockabout pocket camera with larger than average zoom that won't cost the earth? The metallic silver VR-310 we had in for review – with black, red, or purple also available - is both attractive in an unassuming way, bit also an all-too...

    Conclusion: The zoom to price ratio of the Olympus VR-310 may look appealing at first glance, and the outer shell is certainly better than we’d expect for £99, but unfortunately it’s in the crucial area of image quality that it betrays its no frills price tag,...

    Pro : It’s cheap, it boasts a 10x optical zoom yet (with zoom retracted) will fit in a trouser pocket

    Pro : Responsive in low light ; 10x zoom lens with 24 mm wide angle ; Controls and menus are generally user-firendly

    Cons : Video mode with no zoom and mono sound ; Picture quality: noise is problematic above 400 ISO, bluriness ; Screen looks dark when viewed from below - poor viewing angles ; Cheap-feeling build / Fingers cover the flash too easily ; Exposure and white...
