Jan 30 Sony Increasing Cyber-Shot family through three Latest Products

Sony is fruitfully increasing its Cyber-shot family through three remarkable products Cyber-shot DSC-TX200V, DSC-WX70, DSC-WX50.  You must be delighted with the features of all the three.

 First we will talk about Cyber-Shot   DSC-TX200 V that is the latest 18.2 megapixel point-and-shoot product with Exmor R CMOS sensor. It has 26mm 5x optical zoom lens along with the capability of capturing 1080/60p video. DSC-TX200V is incorporated with a 3.3 inch Xtra Fine TruBlack OLED touchscreen for enhanced preview of images. Sony Claims that the camera is integrated with BIONZ processor that is responsible for capturing stills and videos with extremely low noise. It is also built with a smart focusing system that can deliver speeds of about 0.13 second in daylight and 0.25 seconds in lower-light conditions. Reflective durable housing is an amazing feature of DSC-TX200V that enables waterproof shooting down to 16 feet and also shields camera from dust and freezing temperatures of 14 degrees Fahrenheit.

If prices are your more important concern then you must go for the ultra-thin design and top-of-the-list then the DSC-WX70 and DSC-WX50 might be of interest. Both are integrated with 16.2 mega pixel Exmor R CMOS sensors. It has 25mm 5x optical zoom lenses with 12 mega pixel stills during video capture and a 1080/60i HD shooting. Also you can find nine “Picture Effects” options that are adopted from the NEX series which is also present in TX200V. The WX70 and WX50 are account to have pretty identical list of features, though the first model includes a 2.7-inch display, compared to a 3-inch touchscreen on the WX70.

All the above discussed cameras are expected to ship in March in a variety of colors. TX200V is designed in silver, red and violet finishes with a price set of $500 while WX70 and WX50 will be available for $230 and $ 200 respectively. Press release is also provided for list of full specs and features.

SONY INTRODUCES NEW ASSORTMENT OF COMPACT, HIGH-POWERED CYBER-SHOT® CAMERAS

New Lineup Features High-Resolution Sensors, Enhanced Low-light Performance and Fast Auto-Focus

SAN DIEGO, Jan. 29, 2012 – Sony’s newest Cyber-shot® digital still cameras make it easy to capture beautiful memories anytime and anywhere.

Three new models include the DSC-TX200V model from the ultra-thin Cyber-shot T series and the DSC-WX70 and DSC-WX50 models from the stylish, traditionally designed W series, each featuring a high-resolution “Exmor R” CMOS sensor and an improved BIONZ™ image processor that together boost low light performance and enhance auto-focus speeds, among other benefits.

“We continue to innovate in the compact camera space, finding new ways to help consumers produce high-quality photos and videos as easily as possible, regardless of lighting conditions” said Yosuke Tomoda, director of the Cyber-shot business at Sony Electronics.

“With new technologies designed to improve the overall imaging experience – including extended creativity, control and more – this new lineup of Cyber-shot cameras delivers impressive results with stylish, pocket-sized bodies.”

High-Resolution, High-Speed, High-Quality

The new TX200V camera features a newly developed 18.2 MP “Exmor R” CMOS sensor, the highest-resolution currently offered in the “point and shoot” market, and a new BIONZ™ processor, which work together to create images and video files with extremely low noise. The advanced model also offers lightning-fast AutoFocus speeds of approximately 0.13 seconds in daytime and 0.25 seconds in low-light situations (speeds may vary based on shooting conditions), helping to ensure you never miss the moment.

Additionally, the TX200V Cyber-shot showcases a new beautiful, reinforced glass design with a large, 3.3-inch (8.3cm) Xtra Fine™ TruBlack OLED wide touch-screen. It is also water-proof (up to 5m or approx.16 feet), dust-proof and freeze-proof (up to 14oF), and features a “Photo Creativity” interface that lets users easily adjust creative settings to produce unique, custom-styled photos.

The new WX70 and WX50 models each are equipped with a high-resolution 16.2 MP “Exmor R” CMOS sensor, with the WX70 featuring a 3.0-inch 921k dot LCD touch-screen and the WX50 featuring a slightly smaller 2.7-inch LCD screen.

All-Around Performance

Each of the new Cyber-shot cameras features a new “Extra High Sensitivity” technology, which minimizes unwanted noise in low-light shooting conditions. For consumers who want to get closer to their subjects without losing quality, these new models have “Clear Image Zoom” technology, which boosts optical zoom to 2x virtual capability (i.e. 5x optical zoom to 10x virtual zoom) at full camera resolution.

The TX200V, WX70 and WX50 cameras also offer image stabilization during video and still shooting. Using technology borrowed from the Sony Handycam® lineup, the “Optical Steady Shot Active Mode” drastically reduces blurring caused by camera shake while on the move. All models can shoot video in Full HD resolution.

Additional notable features of the new lineup include nine “Picture Effect” options for expanded creativity, “Dual Record” capabilities, 3D shooting modes (3D Still Image, 3D Sweep Panorama and Sweep Multi Angle), fast shooting speeds (10 fps burst mode) and more.
