The Bottom Line	It's a solid megazoom digital camera, but you might be better off with its 5-megapixel sibling, the DMC-FZ5.	The Panasonic DMC-FZ7 is a solid megazoom alternative for beginners and enthusiasts alike.	A nice evolution of the megazoom, the Canon PowerShot SX10 IS delivers some improvements over its predecessor and provides an attractive option for megazoom shooters.	A better-than-average megazoom choice, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ35 delivers standout video capabilities and an excellent manual feature set. Still, it suffers from a lot of the same drawbacks as its competitors, including weak photo quality.	As long as you're not expecting dSLR speed in a tiny body, the Canon PowerShot S90 is an excellent compact camera for advanced amateurs.
