The Bottom Line	The 10-megapixel Samsung S1050 has lots of neat features, but its photos come up lacking.	Canon's SX120 IS pocket megazoom falls behind the competition in every aspect except photo quality.	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.
