Check out the newest Sony digital camera called the Cybershot S730. It features a 7.2MPx sensor, 2.4 inches monitor, 3x optical zoom and 1250 ISO. Look for this Sony beauty in Europe this coming January!
Measuring only 73mm x 71mm x 115mm and weighing at 340grams (including battery), the Sony SR42E camcorder is able to create detailed and natural images even in low light environments. The video camera comes with a 2.5inch LCD touch screen, a “3G sensor” and the hard disk shock absorber. The gadget also comes with Vario-Tessar lens to enhanced picture quality. No word on pricing and availability so far.
Sony has just released their new bright cyber-shot DSC-T2 compact digicam. They are available in blue, green, pink, white, or black shiny-coated colors. This cam comes with 8 megapixel specs, 1/2.5-inch CCD, 4GB memory with memory stick pro duo expansion; 2.7-inch, 230k pixel touchscreen LCD, ISO 3200 max sensitivity, Sony’s smile shutter and face detector, and 3x Carl Zeiss zoom with optical image stabilization. This great compact cam will be available December for $350.
The Sony Cyber-shot W80 digital camera was first announced at PMA in February 2007. This 7MP compact camera comes in a compact body with an optical image stabilization, a HDTV (1080i) output and an optional composite video cable. Other features include a face detection AF/AE, 3x zoom, 2.5-inch screen and a claimed 340 shot battery capability. dpreview has reviewed the Sony Cyber-shot W80 digital camera. Here is the verdict.
The W80 is a camera that is capable of producing surprisingly good results in good light at ISO 100 and is perfectly usable at ISO 400-800 in low light if you don’t want big prints (the church interiors in the samples gallery, for example, are better than I expected), but a camera that falls down in what I consider to be one of the most important areas for a camera such as this; pictures of people indoors in low light - with or without flash. If you’re after a ‘walk around’ camera for scenery then it’s not a bad buy for $200-ish, but if you actually have friends and family, and are still awake taking pictures after sunset it’s hard to wholeheartedly recommend it when there are so many better alternatives out there.
