The Bottom Line	Though it's not perfect, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ5's compact midrange megazoom feature set puts it in a class with just its sibling, the TZ4, and should deliver a satisfying shooting experience.	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.	The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W290 is an excellent, well-balanced compact camera.	More than just a point-and-shoot pocket megazoom, the Canon SX200 IS improves upon its forerunner, but not by much.	Don't let its new sensor technology scare you off: the Fujifilm FinePix F200EXR is an excellent compact camera with shooting features for just about every type of user.
