The Bottom Line	The Nikon Coolpix P1's good image quality offsets its novel but limited Wi-Fi capabilities.	Aside from a couple performance quibbles, the Canon PowerShot A1100 IS provides a good point-and-shoot experience with great pictures as a result.	The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W290 is an excellent, well-balanced compact camera.	If you don't mind its extra bulk and narrow lens, the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H20 is an otherwise excellent compact megazoom camera.	Canon's SX120 IS pocket megazoom falls behind the competition in every aspect except photo quality.
