The Bottom Line	This Olympus SP-350 is packed with powerful manual features, but its performance and photo quality lag behind the competition's.	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.		Kids will love the camera's customizable animated start-up screen and easy operation, but advanced snapshot photographers will find its shooting options limited.	Only first-timers new to the digital game should take a look at the user-friendly, inexpensive Toshiba PDR-M25.
