The Bottom Line The Nikon Coolpix S4 resurrects the company's classic swivel-lens design with modern touches, including lots of scene modes and in-camera fixes for common problems. Image quality and performance seem a bit old-fashioned, however. Nikon's S10 has some decent features, including a really nice lens, but it doesn't live up to its potential and can't compete with similarly priced superzooms. 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. The Nikon Coolpix S70 has a top-notch touch-screen interface and eye-catching design, but you're definitely paying for them. The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W290 is an excellent, well-balanced compact camera.
