The Bottom Line		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.	The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W290 is an excellent, well-balanced compact camera.	The Nikon Coolpix S630 puts a little extra zoom in your pocket, but you might not find the high-resolution photos it shoots out pleasurable.	Canon's SX120 IS pocket megazoom falls behind the competition in every aspect except photo quality.
