The Bottom Line	An 8-megapixel megazoom with image stabilization, the 8800 is a solid, though not spectacular, enthusiast option.	While the Nikon Coolpix P90 brings its performance up to speed with the rest of its class, it now falls behind in photo quality.	If you don't mind its extra bulk and narrow lens, the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H20 is an otherwise excellent compact megazoom camera.	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.	A nice evolution of the megazoom, the Canon PowerShot SX10 IS delivers some improvements over its predecessor and provides an attractive option for megazoom shooters.
