6.  Casio Exilim EX-Z1000
 
CNET Asia rating: 7.4 out of 10
The good: Sturdy body with an elegant design; simple and intuitive interface; continuous shooting with flash; negligible shutter lag.
The bad: Unusable pictures at high ISO settings; effective 2.5-inch screen estate; slow continuous shooting.
The bottom line: The trendy design and user-friendly features manage to steal some thunder from this high-resolution shooter. However, the Exilim EX-Z1000 is still a basic digicam targeted at users who want a high-resolution camera.

9.  Fujifilm FinePix F30
 
CNET Asia rating: 7.4 out of 10
The good: Produces usable shots, without digital noise, even at high ISO 1,600 and ISO 3,200 sensitivity levels; aperture- and shutter-priority modes; versatile 2.5-inch LCD.
The bad: Noticeable fringing in photos; lens could be wider.
The bottom line: Low-light shooters will love that the Fujifilm FinePix F30's screen actually lets you see through the darkness and that its high ISOs produce usable photos with acceptable levels of noise.

10.  Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H5
 
CNET Asia rating: 7.2 out of 10
The good: Stylish exterior; dedicated buttons for focusing, bracket exposure and burst modes; large LCD monitor for viewing pictures; hinged cover for battery and Memory Stick Duo compartments; 12x optical zoom; manual features.
The bad: Rather short body; evident shutter lag; no continuous burst mode; purple fringing.
The bottom line: Other than some misses in the performance and image quality, the Cyber-shot H5 is a worthy megazoomer with image stabilization and high ISO features.
