The Bottom Line Performance issues aside, the Canon PowerShot A650 IS combines large, good-looking photos and a generous feature set into a fine midrange shooter. Unless you plan to shoot primarily in low light, the Canon PowerShot A720 IS makes a solid, affordable camera that produces great-looking pictures. The Canon PowerShot G9 is a solid enthusiast digital camera for those who want something compact to complement a dSLR. The Canon PowerShot SD 850 IS has just about everything you'd want in a point-and-shoot. The Canon PowerShot A590 IS's manual exposure controls and surprisingly sharp pictures make it a great choice for almost anyone looking for a sub-$200 shooter.
