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

Fujifilm FinePix S1500
Its lens and image quality aren't great, but it's a good option for beginner photographers
