Canon PowerShot SX260 HS
The SX260 HS is small, well designed and, for point and shoot snappers, performs a treat too. But in such a hotly contested market place it could do with that little bit more oomph to really take it to the next level: we'd like to see a touchscreen with edge-to-edge focus control in the future.

Cons:

- no touchscreen
- chromatic aberrations visible (colour fringing)
- 500mm max aperture is f/6.8

I absolutely love this camera!! I travel a lot and I needed a camera that fits in my purse, and yet has good picture quality. The battery life is short but one may buy additional battery to compensate for the one that comes with the camera.
Pros:
- Fast/accurate auto-focus
- Good Image Quality
- Good Image Stabilization
Cons:
- Short Battery Life

My attention was drawn to this camera due to it having a manual focus option. It handled this well, and I was then pleasantly surprised to discover just how many other features it had.
Pros:
- Manual Focus
- Crisp Detail
- Wide Variety of Features (eg Face recognition
- Colour Accent
- Tilt Shift mode
- control of the exposure triangle
Cons:
- Flash in an inconvenient spot and mode selection wheel a little stiff
