Editors' ratings (How we rate)	7.6 Excellent	7.8 Excellent	7.1 Very good	7 Very good	CNET Asia editor's take
Review Summary	A worthy successor to the FX33, the FX36 is a compact powerhouse capable of delivering decent-quality pictures and HD videos.	The NV24HD is a stunning camera, but the performance is only typical of the usual point-and-shoot.	Plain Jane styling and cluttered controls belie a wonderfully intuitive graphical user interface and some clever features. The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W170 is a surprisingly adaptable camera that can be tweaked to take decent pictures in various environments.	The F60fd is a capable shooter but its less-than-desired image quality did not go down well with us.	More info
