Compact Point and Shoot Cameras Keep Getting Better

Our top pick in the compact Point and Shoot category is a good example of how these cameras keep improving. Panasonic is gaining a very good reputation for building quality cameras for the average photographer. For a relatively small, fit in your pocket or purse camera, it provides 14 megapixels, 8X zoom (and up 

to 16.9X zoom for lower resolutions) and 720 HD video at 30fps. All of these cameras have image stabilization, red eye adjustment and whole range of other features. If you leave it on auto, it will probably take a pretty good picture most of the time.
