Canon PowerShot SX20 IS

The Canon PowerShot SX20 IS is a solid, but not standout, superzoom option for the money.

Specs: Digital compact , 12.1 megapixels, 2.5 inch, 20 x

Where to buy? $225 to $900 at 19 stores
AgfaPhoto DC-600uw

The AgfaPhoto is a cheap, knockabout waterproof camera that's ideal for life at the beach. The feature set and image quality is average but for the price you can't go too far wrong.

Specs: Digital compact , 6 megapixels, 2.4 inch

Where to buy? Check price listings
Nikon Coolpix S1000pj

A lot of cameras get called "unique", but the Nikon Coolpix S1000pj aptly lives up to this tag as it hosts a built-in projector. It's definitely a novelty and fun to use, we just wish image quality was better.

Specs: Digital compact , 12.1 megapixels, 2.7 inch, 5 x

Where to buy? $450 to $700 at 7 stores
