The hunt for a new compact digital camera could end up being harder than expected. Aggravatingly demanding I might add. No one reviewer loves all cameras. So if you are reading this review, and are continuing tp search, I can feel your pain.The general conclusion is that there is no such thing as a perfect point and shoot camera that can do it all. You can spend hours on the web researching, go your local camera shop or department to physically play with the Compact digital Cameras that grab your attention. But at the end of the day, there are 3 or 4 moderately good compact cameras available, but each of them will necessitate you to compromise on some feature you want. So decide on your must-haves and browse through the available cameras that are left.

Reviews
Canon has introduced the PowerShot SX210 IS compact superzoom that replaces last year's SX200 IS. Key changes include the ability to stow the pop-up flash, a flat body design, a 14.1MP sensor and increased, 14x (28 - 392mm equiv.) optical zoom range. It also features a dedicated video recording button and supports SDXC memory cards.

The good: Nice selection of semimanual and manual controls; flexible lens in a compact body; very good photo quality.
The bad: Slow shooting performance; some awkward design aspects; unimpressive LCD.
The bottom line: If you want a compact megazoom with manual controls and fine photo quality, the Canon PowerShot
SX210 IS is a good place to start.
