Canon PowerShot A20
Swifty would be a great nickname for Canon's 2.1-megapixel PowerShot A20. It's a nearly perfect point-and-shoot digicam for film photographers who want to make an easy transition from analog to digital. And, just like traditional film cameras, it's darn fast! However, all the speed in the world can't make up for what the A20 lacks in image quality.

Casio QV-2900UX
At S$799 (US$433), Casio's latest is one of the most affordable 2.1-megapixel digital cameras to offer a powerful 8x optical zoom. Combined with a 4x digital zoom, the QV-2900UX is capable of capturing at a maximum magnification of 32x. As with most Casio cameras, the QV-2900UX also comes with Best Shot and a 1cm macro capture mode, as well as standard automatic and manual capture features.

Fujifilm FinePix A201
The 2-megapixel FinePix A201 sticks with a formula that has long characterized Fujifilm's entry-level digicams: It's highly compact, the feature set is downright minimalist, and it can take surprisingly good pictures. The camera does have some significant limitations--there's no optical zoom, and low-light performance is frankly shabby--but casual shutterbugs will love its portability and easy automatic operation.

Fujifilm FinePix 2600 Zoom
Think of the 2.11-megapixel FinePix 2600 Zoom as a value-packed camera with some attractive extra features for digital photo novices. It's priced to compete with the no-frills 2-megapixel crowd, but this FinePix boasts a 3X zoom lens, a silent-video-clip mode, and Webcam capabilities--along with rechargeable nickel-metal-hydride batteries and a charger in the box for good measure. The deal is further sweetened by the camera's image quality, which is on a par with that of higher-priced models.

Fujifilm FinePix 2800 Zoom 
The new FinePix 2800Zoom is a fine example of a camera fitted with a 6x optical zoom (as well as 2.5x digital zoom) which brings objects closer to the photographer than most 3x zoom cameras. Though the resolution is a little low at 2.1-megapixel CCD, compared to the current crop of high-res digicams in the market, the image capture is sharp and clear, with hardly any visible pixelation.

Kodak DX3700
With the new DX3700, Kodak has made it more affordable than ever to own a high-resolution digital camera. Although the device does not come with optical zoom or video recording capabilities, its 3.1-megapixel capture resolution and competitive US$299.95 (S$550) pricing, which is about S$300 (US$163) lower than most other digicam offerings in its class, should present an attractive digital photography solution for those on a tight budget.

Minolta Dimage E203
The general direction for new models in a digital camera series seems to be smaller footprints with yet more powerful new features. The Minolta E203 is no exception. Designed to be a successor to the Dimage E201, the new model comes with a 3x optical zoom lens, on top of a 2-megapixel CCD and 2x digital zoom. This not only allows distant objects to be brought closer without any decrease in image quality, the combined 6x zoom also offers more flexibility and convenience when taking scenic shots.

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-P50
Despite coming from the same line of cameras as Sony's highly regarded DSC-P1 and DSC-S75, the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-P50 doesn't live up to the high standards set by its siblings. While not a grave disappointment, this economical digicam package cuts far too many corners on features to be a noteworthy addition to the Sony Cyber-shot line.
