The Bottom Line With so many better choices for budget cameras available, pass on the bulky, noisy Kodak EasyShare C743. The Canon PowerShot A590 IS's manual exposure controls and surprisingly sharp pictures make it a great choice for almost anyone looking for a sub-$200 shooter. Solid image quality plus manual and automated exposure controls make the Canon PowerShot A540 a nice low-cost option for snapshooters and photo enthusiasts. The Canon PowerShot SD750 has an attractive design, large LCD, and excellent photo quality for an ultracompact. It's not as feature-laden as higher-end models, but the Cyber-shot W120 offers plenty of style and substance for the price.
