The Bottom Line	The TX1's unique design is sure to turn heads, but it's also quite awkward to use, and its still image quality isn't up to Canon's usual standards.		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 Sony Cyber-shot DSC-WX1 is a great, fast-performing snapshot camera that falters on photo quality.	The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W290 is an excellent, well-balanced compact camera.
