Camera • You don't have to be up close to capture a close-up with Sony's DSC-HX200V Cyber-shot camera. Part of the new H-Series, the compact camera sports a super-thin yet powerful 30x optical lens that can take great shots from across a room. The speedy point-and-shoot 18.2-megapixel camera can auto focus in about 0.13 seconds in daylight and 0.24 seconds in low-light settings. The camera also can capture high definition video. Priced at about $480, it has a 3-inch tilting LCD screen and a three-way image stabilizer. For more information, go to http://www.store.sony.com.
