Sony Cyber-shot DSC-WX1

The WX1 is an excellent compact camera with a great feature set and speedy performance, but mixed photo quality makes it miss the mark.

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

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.
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.
Nikon Coolpix S70

The S70 is a good stylish compact with the added bonus of an OLED touchscreen, but faces stiff competition from cheaper and equally competent cameras.
JVC Everio GZ-MS130

The GZ-MS130 is a nice, albeit run-of-the-mill, flash-memory-based standard-def camcorder.
Nikon Coolpix S640

The S640 boasts dSLR-like responsiveness and good pictures but is let down by its price and lack of competitive features like HD video.
Fujifilm FinePix S200EXR

The S200EXR stands on its own as a hybrid between a superzoom and SLR, with a 14.3x optical zoom lens and Fuji's Super CCD sensor. Expect great pictures but be prepared for backaches.
Canon Legria HF20

As far as mid-range camcorders go, there's not much to fault the Canon Legria HF20 for; the image quality is good, the autofocus speedy and feature list fairly full.
Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ35

The FZ35 should be at the top of any potential superzoom buyer's list, with a fully featured specification sheet and good image quality.
