In Pictures: 20 best tech devices of 2012 (so far)

The year is just a little more than half over, but we've already seen an explosion of innovative tech. Here's a look at the best of what is out so far in phones, tablets, HDTVs, cameras, and more.

Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-RX100

Possibly "the best pocket camera of all time," the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 surpasses even the Canon PowerShot S100, which until now was the best point-and-shoot camera you could find. The RX100 is groundbreaking mainly because of its sensor, which is much larger than those in other cameras of its size.

The RX100 also has a very wide F1.8 aperture, which is optimal for capturing shots with a dramatically shallow depth of field, as well as for taking photos in low-light situations. The RX100 rocks in capturing video, too: It takes 1080p video at 60 frames per second, and provides manual shutter and aperture controls when recording.
