The Bottom Line	This budget camera includes a few surprising features, but its flaws outweigh its benefits.		The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W290 is an excellent, well-balanced compact camera.	Simple and stylish, the Canon PowerShot SD1200 IS is a fine back-pocket camera as long as your photo-quality expectations are reasonable.	As long as you don't want much in the way of manual features, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS3 is a very nice camera that can handle a variety of shooting situations.
