Camera Buyer's Guide Slim and Stylish
Advanced Compacts High Zoom
DSLR and Micro Four Thirds

Looking for a unique camera with that certain stylish touch? There's no shortage of options this year at a variety of price points. Each of the point and shoots selected in this camera have a little something extra - it might be a touch screen, an ultra-slim profile, or a bold exterior that calls out for attention.

Less Than $200


Fujifilm FinePix Z33WP



Fuji's Z series point and shoots are geared toward the "tween" set. With a flashy exterior and waterproof functionality up to 3 meters, it's a camera that's built for fun. A 10 megapixel sensor, 3x internally contained zoom lens, and scene recognition auto mode round out the package.

Canon PowerShot A480



We liked the basic feature set and reliable image quality from the PowerShot A480. With a price that's now hovering just over $100, it's a no-brainer stocking stuffer, and it comes in a variety of stylish colors.

Nikon Coolpix S230



Initially priced at $200, it's not hard to find a bargain on this slim touch screen point and shoot from Nikon. It features a 10 megapixel sensor along with a 3x optical zoom lens. Solid image quality and reasonably responsive and intuitive touch interface make it an excellent option for the style-savvy first-time photographer.

$200-$400


Samsung DualView TL225



The Samsung DualView TL225, at $350, records 720p HD video and boasts a 3.5 inch high resolution touch screen on the back panel. But the real attraction is a secondary touch LCD on the front of the camera, making self-portraiture and self-timer shots a snap.

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FP8



The $300 Panasonic Lumix FP8 produced the reliably good images that we've come to expect from their cameras. A lightning fast auto focus paired with a slimmed-down camera body make this a good choice for the (impatient) budding photographer.

Olympus Stylus Tough 6000


The durable Stylus 6000-Tough is shockproof up to a 5 foot drop, waterproof up to 10 feet, and freezeproof down to 14 degrees fahrenheit. It also features Olympus's tap control technology for easier use in difficult shooting conditions.

More than $400


Sony Cyber-shot DSC-G3



The Cyber-shot G3 combines ultra-compact portability with a large 4GB memory space to create a portable album for your photos. The G3 is also equipped with 802.11b/g wireless internet connectivity for quick photo sharing to popular websites. Other features include a 3.5 inch touch screen display, Carl Zeiss lens, BIONZ image processor, and Optical SteadyShot image stabilization technology.
