The Bottom Line	The Olympus FE 170's price is hard to beat; its performance, not so much.	This inexpensive shooter won't wow you with features, but its price and pictures are nice.		Kodak's EasyShare M1033 is a better-than-average budget ultracompact.	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.
