The 4-megapixel Canon PowerShot A520 offers full manual controls and takes very good images, but its handling is marred by poor design.

This 4-megapixel camera comes in a large chassis that's less pocketable but easier to hold steady when shooting pictures.
Review Verdict: With software to help download and organise your images and a 16MB SD card to get you started, this is a great camera but you have to compromise its size and shortage of megapixels with its extra optical zoom and high-quality snaps.

Review Verdict: One of the nicest point and shoot digital cameras gets even better.
QuickTake:
Pros: Great AF, build, lens and exposures combine with a nice price and smaller, lighter camera sure to appeal to anyone wanting a sophisticated 'point and shooter'.
Cons: Standard AA batteries (supplied) will last for almost 10-shots! You'll need to budget for a decent set of rechargeable AAs. Noise over ISO 400 is intrusive and the camera does not so much leaps from the starting blocks as crawl onto the track.
