Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T300



Cnet rating: 3 stars out of 5 (good)
The good: Fast performance; tons of handy image editing and playback features; zoom rocker is in a much more comfortable position.
The bad: Soft, noisy photos.
The price: $260 to $425
The bottom line: A great design, fast shooting and lots of features can't overcome the fact that the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T300 simply doesn't take very good pictures.

Nikon Coolpix S60

Cnet rating: 3.5 stars out of 5 (very good)
The good: Optical image stabilization; 3.5-inch touch-screen LCD; pretty; fun features.
The bad: Comparatively slow interface; relatively slow for its class; soft images; all but the power and shutter are touch-screen controlled.
The price: $259 to $350
The bottom line: Fun features and chic styling make the Nikon Coolpix S60 a tasty choice for casual point-and-shoot use. However, if you need speed or snapshot perfection, this isn't your camera.

Samsung TL34HD

Cnet rating: 3.5 stars out of 5 (very good)
The good: Very good touch-screen shooting controls; many settings to experiment with; well designed.
The bad: Middling photo quality; touch-screen frustrating to use in menu system.
The price: $230 to $311
The bottom line: An excellent touch-screen interface - at least for shooting photos - and decent feature set don't make the Samsung TL34HD's photo quality better than OK.

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T700

Cnet rating: 4 stars out of 5 (excellent)
The good: Attractive design; large, useful feature set; nice 3.5-inch LCD; fast performance.
The bad: Touch screen not for everyone; soft images.
The price: $340 to $400
The bottom line: Part smart-looking snapshot camera, part 4-GB portable digital photo album, the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T700 will satisfy those who like showing off their pictures as much as they like taking them.
