The Bottom Line	The Nikon Coolpix L4 produces solid pictures for a budget camera.	Kodak's EasyShare M1033 is a better-than-average budget ultracompact.	Simple and stylish, the Canon PowerShot SD1200 IS is a fine back-pocket camera as long as your photo-quality expectations are reasonable.	Canon's SX120 IS pocket megazoom falls behind the competition in every aspect except photo quality.	This camera's low price tag and solid performance can help you forget that it doesn't have many bells or whistles.
