New Sony Digital Cameras

Sony have announced three new digital cameras. These are due in the shops in September 2007. Two of the cameras the DSC T70 and the DSC T200 are slimline, pocket sized cameras. The third camera is a super zoom digital camera with a 10x optical zoom lens.

The T70 and T200 are eight megapixel models. The T70 has a 3x zoom lens while the T200 has a longer 5x zoom. Other headline features include High Definition quality for playback on high definition televisions, 16:9 wide LCD touch screens and a special setting that detects a smile and automatically takes a photograph without the need for you to press the shutter button. The size of the LCD screens are larger than standard. The T70 has a 3 inch screen while the T200 has an even larger 3.5 inch screen.

Both cameras offer a choice of colours. The T70 is available in silver, black, white and pink. The T200 comes in silver, black and red.

Tapping the screen causes the camera to focus on the selected area of the shot. If you are taking a portrait shot touching the screen turns on face detection focusing.
Although not pocket sized the DSC H3 is much smaller than other super zoom cameras from Sony. It has dimensions of 106.0mm x 68.5mm x 47.5mm and weighs 246g. This is also an eight megapixel camera.

Other attractions include face detection software, in camera retouching of photos already taken and a special sports shooting mode to take advantage of the long zoom lens.

All three cameras offer image stabilisation.
