Those shopping for point-and-shoot cameras will have plenty of
choices come March. Sony has just unveiled three more models to its
popular Cyber-shot line. This brings to six the total number of
point-and-shoot cameras Sony has already announced this year.
The latest models – DSC-WX50, DSC-WX70 and DSC-TX200V – will be equipped with Exmor R CMOS sensors. Another similarity is that all three will have a 5x zoom on its Carl Zeiss lens. Of
the three new additions, the DSC-TX200V (pictured above) is the
flagship product that Sony is banking on. The DSC-TX200V has an 18.2
megapixel sensor, 26mm 5x optical zoom lens
and a 3.3-inch Xtra Fine TruBlack OLED touchscreen. The camera will
also be able to capture 1080/60p video resolution. It is also waterproof
up to 5 meters and dustproof and shockproof (up to 140F). Sony’s
top of the line will cost around $500 and for those on a budget, they
can take a second look at the DSC-WX50 and DSC-WX70, which will cost
around $200 and $230, respectively. Both budget cameras have a 16.2MP
shooter and has "Extra High Sensitivity” technology which, according to Sony, enhances low-light shooting capabilities. Via: PC Mag |
