The Bottom Line	While its design is less than thrilling, the Canon PowerShot SD960 IS still has great photo quality to fall back on.	The Canon PowerShot SD980 IS is a very good touch-screen camera for those on the fence about using a touch-screen camera.	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.	One of the best ultracompacts available, the Canon PowerShot SD940 IS nonetheless falls short of greatness in performance and photo quality.
