The Bottom Line	Canon's A series continues to deliver tons of bang for the buck, this time including optical image stabilization, 6X optical zoom, and solid image quality in a midsize compact camera with a stylish design update.	Canon's SX120 IS pocket megazoom falls behind the competition in every aspect except photo quality.	As long as you're not expecting dSLR speed in a tiny body, the Canon PowerShot S90 is an excellent compact camera for advanced amateurs.	The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W290 is an excellent, well-balanced compact camera.	Unless you plan to shoot primarily in low light, the Canon PowerShot A720 IS makes a solid, affordable camera that produces great-looking pictures.
