Product name	Canon Digital IXUS 860 IS	Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T200	Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX33	Fujifilm FinePix F50fd	Olympus Mju 850 SW
Editors' ratings (How we rate)	8 Excellent	7.4 Very good	7.4 Very good	7.8 Excellent	CNET Asia editor's take
Review Summary	While the Canon Digital IXUS 860 IS doesn't have an optical viewfinder or manual exposure controls, it captures beautiful images with its wide, 3.8x optical zoom lens and ranks among the top compact cameras we've seen.	It's a perfect camera for someone who prizes style and gimmicky features over performance and control.	If you really crave a literal point-and-shoot capability in a camera, minus the hassles and flaws that come with most compact cameras, the FX-33 would possibly be your best bet so far.	The Fujifilm FinePix F50fd should works for most photographers, in fact, it would even please those who are slightly more advanced.	More info
