The Bottom Line	High-quality optics and two image stabilization modes deliver good image quality in an ultracompact package.

The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W290 is an excellent, well-balanced compact camera.	The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FS15 is a well-appointed snapshot camera for the money with the mixed performance and photo quality typical of its class.
