Sony's HX100V shocked us with an amazing color accuracy score, but can one test carry an entire camera?

A big sensor, but plain looks, plain features, plain performance.

Fujifilm's flagship HS20EXR offers sophisticated design and a rich feature set.

Unsuitable as a main camera, but the tiny price makes it an interesting splurge for snorkeling.

Sony's TX10 is a waterproof tough-cam that rejects blocky bodies in favor of a modern, nightclub-ready exterior.

Kodak's EasyShare Mini is a favorite for children and first-time shooters.

The Coolpix P500 is an all-around excellent camera, even though some of our tests cannot do it justice.
