The Bottom Line	When it comes to features and image quality, this camera is at the top of its class.	The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W290 is an excellent, well-balanced compact camera.	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.	Canon's SX120 IS pocket megazoom falls behind the competition in every aspect except photo quality.	Aside from a couple performance quibbles, the Canon PowerShot A1100 IS provides a good point-and-shoot experience with great pictures as a result.
