The Bottom Line	The Samsung Digimax S800 has tons of controls for its price range, but confusing menus and poor image quality outweigh these advantages.	Sony's careful feature trimming results in the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W220: a well-rounded pocket camera for less than $180.	If you don't mind its extra bulk and narrow lens, the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H20 is an otherwise excellent compact megazoom camera.	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.
