The Bottom Line	Though it's still an excellent camera, some aspects of the S70 now lag behind its competitors'.	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.	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.	The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W290 is an excellent, well-balanced compact camera.	The Canon PowerShot SD980 IS is a very good touch-screen camera for those on the fence about using a touch-screen camera.
