The Bottom Line	The Sony Cyber Shot DSC-T50 keeps the better features of the DSC-T30, but adds a touch screen interface we could've lived without.	The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W290 is an excellent, well-balanced compact camera.	The ultracompact Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T70 packs impressive performance and image quality into a sexy little camera body, but its touchy touch screen left us a tad teed.	The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-WX1 is a great, fast-performing snapshot camera that falters on photo quality.	As long as you're not expecting dSLR speed in a tiny body, the Canon PowerShot S90 is an excellent compact camera for advanced amateurs.
