The Bottom Line Olympus' SP-550UZ has great ergonomics, but disappointingly slow performance and soft, noisy images drag it down. A few performance issues with the Nikon Coolpix P5000 diminish the appeal of an otherwise nice compact camera for amateurs. The Canon PowerShot G7 is a solid enthusiast camera for those who've ruled out a budget dSLR. Though we'd like it to perform better, dSLR shooters looking for a sidekick camera will find the Canon PowerShot S95's top-flight photos and a full manual feature set worth the tradeoff of its compact size. Feature junkies in search of a compact megazoom should get the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX9V.
