The Bottom Line	The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W200's 12-megapixel sensor raises the price of an otherwise decent snapshot camera, with little benefit. The W90 and W80 are better deals.	The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W290 is an excellent, well-balanced compact camera.	Sony's careful feature trimming results in the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W220: a well-rounded pocket camera for less than $180.	The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-WX1 is a great, fast-performing snapshot camera that falters on photo quality.	If you don't mind its extra bulk and narrow lens, the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H20 is an otherwise excellent compact megazoom camera.
