The Bottom Line It's not the fanciest camera, but quick performance and solid images make this sub-$200 shooter a worthwhile pick. The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W290 is an excellent, well-balanced compact camera. If you don't mind its extra bulk and narrow lens, the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H20 is an otherwise excellent compact megazoom camera. Kodak's EasyShare M1033 is a better-than-average budget ultracompact. 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.
