The Bottom Line	Though hardly perfect, the Casio Exilim EX-Z1200 produces some very nice, very large pictures.	The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W290 is an excellent, well-balanced compact camera.	As long as you're not expecting dSLR speed in a tiny body, the Canon PowerShot S90 is an excellent compact camera for advanced amateurs.	Though hardly perfect, the Casio Exilim EX-Z1200 produces some very nice, very large pictures.	A budget ultracompact worth buying, the Casio Exilim EX-S5's only real issue is shutter lag.
