The Bottom Line	Poor low-light performance hinders the Panasonic Lumix DMC-LZ5's useful features.	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.	Canon's SX120 IS pocket megazoom falls behind the competition in every aspect except photo quality.	The pocket megazoom Kodak EasyShare Z915 is a good camera for those looking to step up from a fully automatic compact camera to something with more manual controls and a longer lens.	The Nikon Coolpix S570 is a respectable ultracompact camera, despite average point-and-shoot performance and some high-ISO overpromising.
