The Bottom Line	It has a sweet 2.5-inch display and some nice point-and-shoot features, but a few notable weaknesses keep it off our top 5-megapixel cameras list.	The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-WX1 is a great, fast-performing snapshot camera that falters on photo quality.	Don't let its new sensor technology scare you off: the Fujifilm FinePix F200EXR is an excellent compact camera with shooting features for just about every type of user.	The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W290 is an excellent, well-balanced compact camera.	If you don't mind its extra bulk and narrow lens, the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H20 is an otherwise excellent compact megazoom camera.
