Canon PowerShot A3000 IS

The A3000 IS features a 4x optical zoom lens, a 2.7-inch LCD screen and now runs on Lithium-ion batteries.

Canon's SX120 IS pocket megazoom falls behind the competition in every aspect except photo quality.

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T900

The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T900 is a good, fast snapshot camera that's also very attractive and extremely compact. Its battery life is a little short and some will find the photo quality unworthy of the price tag. You're paying for the great design more than for great photos.
Nikon Coolpix S230

The Nikon Coolpix S230 is a decent ultracompact camera with a little extra wow factor of a touchscreen interface.
Panasonic Lumix DMC-LS80

Though it stands out as one of the least expensive digital cameras to sport optical image stabilisation, the LS80's performance and pictures simply don't hold up against competing budget cameras.
Canon PowerShot A470

This AA-powered shooter arrives down under in February, and comes loaded with a 7.1-megapixel sensor, 3.4x optical zoom and face detection.
Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W90

Quick shooting and generally good picture quality make the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W90 a solid choice.
Pentax Optio S10

A surprisingly nice budget ultracompact, the no-frills Pentax Optio S10 delivers excellent photo quality and decent performance for relatively little cash.
Fujifilm FinePix F50fd

The Fujifilm FinePix F50fd should please most snapshooters and its above-average exposure controls should appeal to advanced photographers, too.
Nikon Coolpix S9

Nikon's Coolpix S9 has an attractive price, but its feature set and image quality could be better.
