This is another nice deal on a hot-performing Kodak camera. The EasyShare M580 offers some of the best exposure quality of any point-and-shoot camera we've tested in 2010, and its 8X optical zoom lens (28mm to 224mm) offers pocketable versatility. The camera features Kodak's Share button, which lets you tag photos and video in-camera for instant uploading to Facebook, Flickr, and other sharing sites once it's connected to a computer. You don't get the manual controls that the EasyShare Z950 offers, but that $100 price is very compelling.

The Black Friday deal: $250
Price when released: $350
The PowerShot SX210 IS is in the running for my personal favorite point-and-shoot camera of 2010, thanks to its far-reaching 14X optical zoom lens (28mm to 392mm), full manual controls, fun scene modes, and excellent video quality. It's one of our highest-rated pocket megazoom cameras of the year, and the $250 price tag on this Black Friday deal gets you a lot of pocketable performance for the price.

The merchant: Target
The Black Friday deal: $130
Price when released: $250
It's a bit bulkier than your average pocket megazoom, but the PowerShot SX120 IS makes up for its somewhat husky size with an extensive array of manual controls, a fast autofocus, a powerful pop-up flash, and good image quality.

We haven't gotten our hands on the TL205 just yet, but we loved the innovative, front-facing secondary LCD on the closely related DualView TL225. Anyone within traveling distance of an Army or Air Force base can find the DualView TL205 for $100 at an AAFES PX or BX; that's a good price for a camera that takes the guesswork out of framing self-portraits and captures a baby's attention by playing an animated scene on its front-facing screen.
