We like:
Compact size; clever image processing; wealth of manual controls
We don't like:
Sluggish performance
You might also need:
Lens adaptors and external flashes can be attached
CNET UK judgement:
With its SLR-style look, above average features and high specs, the Nikon Coolpix P5100 sets a high bar for itself. It isn't quite the all-rounder we expected, but image quality is excellent in this clever and highly adaptable camera

Canon PowerShot A2100 IS
We wish it were slightly faster, but it offers a useful 6x zoom and great photo quality
Canon PowerShot A480
Fuss-free compact that takes good photos given the price. Just don't expect too much from it
Canon Digital IXUS 990 IS
Good camera, but it's underspecified and overpriced, even compared to other IXUS models
Fujifilm FinePix S1500
Its lens and image quality aren't great, but it's a good option for beginner photographers
