The Bottom Line	Though it's a stylish, easy-to-use ultracompact with good movie-capture capabilities, mediocre photos limit the Casio Exilim EX-S600's appeal.	A budget ultracompact worth buying, the Casio Exilim EX-S5's only real issue is shutter lag.	Simple and stylish, the Canon PowerShot SD1200 IS is a fine back-pocket camera as long as your photo-quality expectations are reasonable.	The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W290 is an excellent, well-balanced compact camera.	The Nikon Coolpix S570 is a respectable ultracompact camera, despite average point-and-shoot performance and some high-ISO overpromising.
