| Bottom line | The Canon PowerShot SX160 IS is a good, inexpensive travel-zoom option for those wanting more control over results or who are just getting into photography and don't want to empty their wallets. | The Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS20's 20x zoom lens might be the main attraction, but the camera is all-around excellent. | The feature-rich
Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX30V has a great mix of speed and photo quality. |
