The Bottom Line	The Canon SD430 is the only consumer-level choice out there for wireless remote shooting and capture, but it's an otherwise average camera.	As long as you don't want much in the way of manual features, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS3 is a very nice camera that can handle a variety of shooting situations.	The Canon PowerShot SD980 IS is a very good touch-screen camera for those on the fence about using a touch-screen camera.	Kodak's EasyShare M1033 is a better-than-average budget ultracompact.	One of the best ultracompacts available, the Canon PowerShot SD940 IS nonetheless falls short of greatness in performance and photo quality.
