The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W290 is an excellent, well-balanced compact camera.
3 Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS3 (silver)

Though it falls short in its design, the Nikon D5000 delivers a nice feature set, speedy performance, and great photo quality for the money.

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

The Lumix DMC-FP8 lives up to Panasonic's speedy performance claims; its photo quality isn't bad, either.

A full-featured waterproof/shockproof pocket point-and-shoot, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-TS1 is a near-perfect rugged camera for everyday use.
12 Canon EOS Rebel XSi (with 18-55mm lens, black)
It doesn't stand out for its feature set or design, but the Canon EOS Rebel XSi delivers on performance and photo quality.
13 Canon PowerShot SD940 IS (black)
One of the best ultracompacts available, the Canon PowerShot SD940 IS nonetheless falls short of greatness in performance and photo quality.

Simple and stylish, the Canon PowerShot SD1200 IS is a fine back-pocket camera as long as your photo-quality expectations are reasonable.
15 Nikon D3000 (with 18mm-55mm lens)

16 Sony Cyber-shot DSC-WX1
The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-WX1 is a great, fast-performing snapshot camera that falters on photo quality.
17 Kodak EasyShare Z915 (blue)
The pocket megazoom Kodak EasyShare Z915 is a good camera for those looking to step up from a fully automatic compact camera to something with more manual controls and a longer lens.
18 Canon PowerShot SX200 IS (black)
More than just a point-and-shoot pocket megazoom, the Canon SX200 IS improves upon its forerunner, but not by much.

With a wide-angle, megazoom lens, a quick AF system, and generally high-quality snapshot photos, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZR1 is a standout compact megazoom.
20 Panasonic Lumix DMC-GF1 (with 20mm lens)
The best interchangeable-lens compact we've see thus far, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-GF1 delivers great photo quality and performance in an enthusiast-friendly shooting experience. Like competitors, however, the lack of an optical viewfinder limits its usability for photographing action.
21 Canon Rebel XS (black, with 18-55mm lens)
The Canon EOS Rebel XS is a good entry-level dSLR, but only its photo quality stands out among the competition.
22 Nikon Coolpix P90
While the Nikon Coolpix P90 brings its performance up to speed with the rest of its class, it now falls behind in photo quality.
23 Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ35
A better-than-average megazoom choice, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ35 delivers standout video capabilities and an excellent manual feature set. Still, it suffers from a lot of the same drawbacks as its competitors, including weak photo quality.
24 Samsung DualView TL225 (orange/black)
The technology-packed Samsung DualView TL225 is the ultimate ultracompact for those who like to be in front of the camera more than they like being behind it.

A nice evolution of the megazoom, the Canon PowerShot SX10 IS delivers some improvements over its predecessor and provides an attractive option for megazoom shooters.
