8.  Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W170
 
CNET Asia rating: 7.1 out of 10
The good: Good user interface; lots of options; impressive burst mode stamina.
The bad: Frustrating zoom rocker switch; cluttered controls; proprietary Memory Stick format.
The bottom line: Plain Jane styling and cluttered controls belie a wonderfully intuitive graphical user interface and some clever features. The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W170 is a surprisingly adaptable camera that can be tweaked to take decent pictures in various environments.

9.  Fujifilm FinePix F60fd
 
CNET Asia rating: 7 out of 10
The good: Solid build; large display; scene recognition with Face Detection 3.0; dual memory card slot.
The bad: Lacks scroll wheel; focusing can be a tad slow; aperture-/ shutter-priority mode not as intuitive as it should be; poor high ISO image quality.
The bottom line: The F60fd is a capable shooter but its less-than-desired image quality did not go down well with us.
