 Samsung NV11 The stylish 10.1-megapixel NV11 offers high tech in a compact design. Control of functions like white balance, exposure and more is performed through touch with the Smart Touch interface, a series of sensor buttons that access menus and settings. The NV11 also offers full manual exposure and focus, with Program, Aperture, Shutter and Manual modes. Advanced Shake Reduction reduces blur by boosting ISO sensitivity, up to 1600, and the NV11 features a Schneider-Kreuznach lens with a 5x optical zoom. Digitally, some of the perks include AF and AE Face Recognition, Red Eye Fix and an unusual business card manager for adding contact information to a computer after taking a snapshot of a business card. List Price: $249.
 Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-T200 The Cyber-shot DSC-T200’s large 3.5-inch touchscreen LCD is arguably its most impressive feature, with fingertip access to menus, settings and image reviews. Manual focusing is limited, with only four settings that range between one meter and infinity, but the 9-Point Autofocus system can be set by touching a specific area on the screen. Face Detection technology also can be used to automatically recognize and adjust focus, exposure, color and flash for up to eight faces. Sony has added a cool new Smile Shutter Mode that automatically shoots as soon as your subject laughs, smiles or grins. Optical image stabilization combines with a top ISO of 3200 for capturing sharp images. Image noise resulting from higher sensitivity is counterbalanced by Sony’s Clear RAW Noise Reduction. List Price: $399.
