We like:
Glossy, smart finish; 240 shots from a single pair of alkalines; no-fuss operation ideal for beginners
We don't like:
No manual ISO adjustment; cheap-feeling controls; not that inexpensive in today's market
CNET UK judgement:
While the budget Nikon Coolpix L20 looks and feels like a nice camera, it's let down by poor-quality controls and a grotty user interface. It's an average camera competing with a whole host of above-average rivals in the same price bracket

Nikon Coolpix S570
Feels more expensive than it is, and its pictures are slightly better than usual for its class
Panasonic Lumix DMC-FP8
Not much to look at, but it's actually a very good ultra-compact camera for snapshooters
Samsung PL60
Stylish, practical and pleasing to use. Its pictures aren't bad either, so it's a good buy at this price
