Review Summary

Though it leaves out one fun, little shooting mode, the Panasonic DMC-TZ3 improves upon its predecessor in nearly every way.

Sure, it's slim, inexpensive, and cute, but annoying quirks and iffy image quality keep this 7.2-megapixel snapshooter off our list of favorites.

The Canon IXUS 70 has an attractive design, large LCD, and excellent photo quality for an ultracompact.

This camera's solid performance can help you forget that it doesn't have many bells or whistles.

With a shiny new interface, fast performance, and great pictures, the DSC-W80 sits on the top of the budget snapshot heap.
