The Bottom Line	Canon's SX120 IS pocket megazoom falls behind the competition in every aspect except photo quality.	The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W290 is an excellent, well-balanced compact camera.	The pocket megazoom Kodak EasyShare Z915 is a good camera for those looking to step up from a fully automatic compact camera to something with more manual controls and a longer lens.	Simple and stylish, the Canon PowerShot SD1200 IS is a fine back-pocket camera as long as your photo-quality expectations are reasonable.
