6.  Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX33
 
CNET Asia rating: 7.4 out of 10
The good: Competent automatic mode; minimalist looks; relatively speedy performance; wide-angle lens.
The bad: Very average optical zoom; no real option for switching to manual mode.
The bottom line: 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.

9.  Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ18
 
CNET Asia rating: 8 out of 10
The good: Intelligent Auto mode was spot on most of the time; solid build; good overall performance.
The bad: No hotshoe; no flip-out screen.
The bottom line: Its ease of use is of note for a user who isn't prepared to delve into a camera's manual exposure settings, but who wants something better than a point-and-shoot.

10.  Nikon Coolpix P5100
 
CNET Asia rating: 6.2 out of 10
The good: Compact, sturdy body; produces very good photographs.
The bad: Slow; strong barrel distortion at wide angle. Be prepared to use the small optical viewfinder instead of its LCD outdoors when the sun is shining.
The bottom line: Despite its image-quality strengths, sluggish performance tarnishes the appeal of the otherwise well-equipped, compact Nikon Coolpix P5100.
