Go ahead and cram yet more unneeded megapixels into a compact camera, in this case the newly announced DSC-W300 (available in May for $350), which boosts resolution to a rationality-shattering 13.6 megapixels. Just don't crying to us when customers start asking why their images don't look so good when viewed at full size.

We are amused, though, that you decided to add a scene mode called "Real," which supposedly minimizes post-capture processing. Makes us wonder if previous models shouldn't have included more realistically labeled scene modes such as "Oz" and "Unbelievable Frickin' Head Trip."
