Nikon Coolpix 885
The Nikon Coolpix 885 isn't quite small enough to carry comfortably in a shirt pocket, but it's small enough to take with you without a second thought. Even better, it offers both point-and-shoot capability and enough features to serve as a second, take-it-anywhere camera. This package succeeds in s...

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-P7
The DSC-P7 has a 3.2-megapixel image sensor and 3x optical zoom, equivalent to 39- to 117-mm lens on a 35-mm camera, and uses one rechargeable Infolithium battery. It can shoot in three video modes plus full-sound mpegs, limited only by the size of the memory. We found these features very useful.

Pentax Optio 330

It has a high-tech, high-quality look and feel, fits nicely into your palm, and makes one-handed operation easy. Its few controls are readily accessible and well mark...
