| The Bottom Line | Manual control and 5 megapixels may seem enticing for this price, but the Samsung Digimax S500's poor image quality will bring you back to reality. | The Canon PowerShot A590 IS's manual exposure controls and surprisingly sharp pictures make it a great choice for almost anyone looking for a sub-$200 shooter. | The Nikon Coolpix L10 makes a great budget point-and-shoot camera, if you don't mind its paltry 5-megapixel resolution. | As one of the least expensive cameras with manual exposure controls out there, the Samsung S850 is a great choice for photography newbies. | The Coolpix L6 doesn't offer much control and is quite slow, but in good light, it can take nice photos. | Basic specs |
