The Bottom Line	The stylish and easy-to-use Coolpix 3700 delivers good photo quality for a pocket camera but lacks the image controls that more advanced snapshooters expect.	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.	Aside from a couple performance quibbles, the Canon PowerShot A1100 IS provides a good point-and-shoot experience with great pictures as a result.	Canon's SX120 IS pocket megazoom falls behind the competition in every aspect except photo quality.
