Bottom line
The Canon PowerShot SD700 IS has practically everything you could want in a compact camera, though you might think the price tag a bit steep.
If you're looking for a nice, simple ultracompact for use indoors and out, you'll want to strongly consider the Canon PowerShot Elph 300 HS.
The Canon PowerShot SX260 HS' wider, longer lens, a few much-needed design tweaks, and excellent photo quality add up to one pretty great compact megazoom.
The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100's compact, elegant design, generally excellent photo quality, bright, fast lens, and speedy performance make a great package if you don't mind spending a little more money.
It has its limitations, but the Canon PowerShot SX500 IS is a good choice for zoom addicts on a budget.
