| The Bottom Line | If you need an ultracompact camera for your pocket or purse, strongly consider the Canon PowerShot SD780 IS. | 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. | Though we'd like it to perform better, dSLR shooters looking for a sidekick camera will find the Canon PowerShot S95's top-flight photos and a full manual feature set worth the tradeoff of its compact size. | 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. | If you're after an inexpensive ultracompact with good low-light photos, the Canon PowerShot Elph 100 HS is one to get.
