The Bottom Line	The Nikon Coolpix L1 is a bare-bones camera with slow operation but very good image quality that will please casual snapshooters.	Canon's SX120 IS pocket megazoom falls behind the competition in every aspect except photo quality.	The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W290 is an excellent, well-balanced compact camera.	Aside from a couple performance quibbles, the Canon PowerShot A1100 IS provides a good point-and-shoot experience with great pictures as a result.	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.
