| The Bottom Line | The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W290 is an excellent, well-balanced compact camera. | As long as you're not expecting dSLR speed in a tiny body, the Canon PowerShot S90 is an excellent compact camera for advanced amateurs. | 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-WX1 is a great, fast-performing snapshot camera that falters on photo quality. |
