Like its peers, the DSC-H20 features an the intelligent auto mode that enhances face pictures by capturing natural skin tones, identifying open/closed eyes, and reducing blurs without damaging image quality. In addition, the DSC-H20 records movies (w/sound) at 720p using an MPEG-4 codec. The DSC-H20 also boasts selected-face memory that allows the user to zero in on the main subject’s face. The next time the camera detects that face within the frame, it will automatically focus on that individual. The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H20 retails for $279.95 and comes with a 90 day limited warranty.
