The Bottom Line	This responsive, well-rounded camera should get a serious look from anyone shopping for a megazoom model.	Even for a full-featured megazoom camera at a low price, the Fujifilm FinePix S1500 delivers average photo quality and mixed performance.	If you don't mind its extra bulk and narrow lens, the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H20 is an otherwise excellent compact megazoom camera.	Canon's SX120 IS pocket megazoom falls behind the competition in every aspect except photo quality.	The Nikon Coolpix L100 is a decent entry-level megazoom. Just don't look too closely at the photos and stock up on AA batteries.
