1 Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS3 (silver)
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.
2 Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W290 (blue)
The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W290 is an excellent, well-balanced compact camera.
3 Canon EOS Rebel T1i (with 18-55mm IS lens)
A solid, slightly better-than-basic dSLR, the Canon EOS Rebel T1i delivers photo quality and performance that adequately compensates for most of its annoyances.
4 Fujifilm FinePix F200EXR
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.
5 Nikon D90 (with 18-105mm lens)
Like the D80 before it, the Nikon D90 delivers an excellent dSLR for the money.
6 Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H20
If you don't mind its extra bulk and narrow lens, the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H20 is an otherwise excellent compact megazoom camera.
7 Canon PowerShot SX120 IS
Canon's SX120 IS pocket megazoom falls behind the competition in every aspect except photo quality.
8 Nikon D5000 (with 18-55mm lens)
Though it falls short in its design, the Nikon D5000 delivers a nice feature set, speedy performance, and great photo quality for the money.
9 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.
10 Panasonic Lumix DMC-TS1 (silver)
A full-featured waterproof/shockproof pocket point-and-shoot, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-TS1 is a near-perfect rugged camera for everyday use.
11 Kodak EasyShare M1033 (Black)
Kodak's EasyShare M1033 is a better-than-average budget ultracompact.
12 Panasonic Lumix DMC-GF1 (with 14mm-45mm 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.
13 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.
14 Nikon D3000 (with 18mm-55mm lens)
Its feature set is basic even by entry-level standards, but the Nikon D3000 delivers the photo quality and performance you expect when stepping up to a dSLR, with an optional interface that's very beginner friendly.
15 Canon PowerShot SD1200 IS (dark gray)
Simple and stylish, the Canon PowerShot SD1200 IS is a fine back-pocket camera as long as your photo-quality expectations are reasonable.
16 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.
17 Sony Cyber-shot DSC-WX1
The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-WX1 is a great, fast-performing snapshot camera that falters on photo quality.
18 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.
19 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.
20 Canon PowerShot SD980 IS (silver)
The Canon PowerShot SD980 IS is a very good touch-screen camera for those on the fence about using a touch-screen camera.
21 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.
22 Samsung HZ15W
The Samsung HZ15W has good parts and features, but ultimately disappoints on the whole.
23 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.
24 Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZR1 (silver)
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.
25 Nikon CoolPix L100
The Nikon Coolpix L100 is a decent entry-level megazoom. Just don't look too closely at the photos and stock up on AA batteries.
