	Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W50 Price (MSRP): $250.00 Megapixel: 6 TYPE: Digital Compact More photos of this camera

The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W50's combination of features and compactness � it�s about the size of a deck of cards � made this little gem one of the top-selling digital cameras in the U.S. during 2006. Priced to sell at around $250, this digicam offers six-megapixel image resolution, light-sensitivity settings up to ISO 1000, a Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar 3x optical zoom lens, and MPEG1 movie recording. The placement of this camera�s review button tripped us up at first, but on the whole the W50 was easy to master. The 2.5-inch LCD screen is bright and crisp, and the camera�s metal-alloy body is sturdy enough to throw in the pocket or purse. In short, this is a solid entry-level point-and-shoot for the right price.
