Sony Cyber-Shot cameras
Sony today announced two new Cyber-Shot cameras that focus equally on capturing and sharing photos. The DSC-N2 includes a unique photo capture method that takes both a full-resolution image as well as a small, VGA-sized version of the same image that is transferred to a special pocket album which can keep separate from regular photos on the camera, turning the N2 into a portable photo album. The N2 also features a high-density 10-megapixel sensor, 25MB of internal memory, and a high ISO 1600 sensitivity for photography in lower lighting. Sony's DSC-T50 and DSC-N2 gain Sony's new Clear Photo Plus LCD technology that increases the display resolution to 230,000 pixels with a higher contrast ratio and better viewing angles, according to Electronista. Both models will begin pre-orders on September 12th at the SonyStyle website, and are expected to ship in October at prices of $450 (DSC-N2) and $500 (DSC-T50).
Sony's DSC-T50 is an update to the existing T30 ultra-compact model with specifications largely similar to the 7.2-megapixel earlier model. The DSC-T50 features blur reduction, 56MB of internal memory, and ISO 1000 sensitivity.
