Best if: You have some photo skills but don’t want to lug around lenses.
You need: A more sophisticated model with a long-range lens and optional manual controls
Best value: Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-HX1, $400, 9.1 megapixels, 20X optical zoom
The DSC-HX1 matches pricier pro models with its ability to shoot 10 frames a second. You can fiddle with aperture, shutter speed, and white balance – or let the HX1 adjust automatically. It’s your choice.

Best if: You’re a casual snapper who always carries a camera.
You need: An ultracompact model with simple settings
Best value: Canon PowerShot SD780 IS, $215, 12.1 megapixels, 3X optical zoom
The pocket-size SD780 is ahead of its peers in terms of resolution (prints will look good up to 13 inches by 19 inches) and in the fact that it has optical image stabilization, which fights blurring caused by camera shake.
