The Bottom Line	Canon's SD1100 IS adds optical image stabilization to last year's hit SD1000, while delivering just as impressive image quality.	Simple and stylish, the Canon PowerShot SD1200 IS is a fine back-pocket camera as long as your photo-quality expectations are reasonable.	The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W290 is an excellent, well-balanced compact camera.	If you need an ultracompact camera for your pocket or purse, strongly consider the Canon PowerShot SD780 IS.	Aside from a couple performance quibbles, the Canon PowerShot A1100 IS provides a good point-and-shoot experience with great pictures as a result.
