Sony CyberShot T500
Sony CyberShot T500 digital camera : Everyone’s spoiled for choice with the camera that thinks it’s a camcorder. Now it’s easy to capture your favourite moments as sumptuous stills or HD movie clips with the slim, stylish new Sony Cyber-shot T500. Available in a choice of eye-catching piano black, silver and red finishes, the chic Sony T500 is packed with Sony technology to help everyone take better-looking pictures. Alongside sparkling 10.1 effective megapixel still image quality, the Sony CyberShot T500 is the first digital camera that can capture crisp, clear HD movie clips with stereo sound. New HD movie mode allows up to 60 mins (approx) of video to be stored on the supplied 4GB Memory Stick.
Sony CyberShot T500 features movie modes
Not sure whether that special moment deserves a photo or a video clip? It’s easy to switch instantly between still and movie modes at the touch of a conveniently placed button on top of the camera. You can even grab crisp still images (1280×720 pixels) without interrupting video shooting.
3.5″ touchscreen LCD included in the Sony T500
The superb Carl Zeiss lens on the CyberShot DSC-T500 features a new ring-type Zoom button, allowing easy adjustment throughout the 5x range while you’re shooting movies. Detail-packed stills and video clips can be viewed on the extra-large wide 3.5-inch touchscreen LCD. As well as giving a beautiful view of your images, the touchscreen also makes operation of camera functions beautifully simple. Touching anywhere on the screen while you’re composing a shot locks focus on that part of the scene.
Sony CyberShot DSC-T500 incorporates Face Detection
Touching a face turns on Face Detection, ensuring that people’s faces in the scene are in sharp focus and with perfect exposure for fewer spoiled shots. Up to eight faces can be tracked at a time, making the Sony T500 ideal for capturing large groups of friends and family.
Sony DSC-T500 digital camera with optical SteadyShot
Shooting handheld without flash can mean blurred pictures, especially when light levels are low or with telephoto shots. Optical SteadyShot is teamed with an improved High Sensitivity mode to allow faster shutter speeds. This �Dual Anti-blur’ solution is complemented by Clear RAW Noise Reduction for clean, natural images, even in low-light conditions like parties or twilight.
HD Slide Shows for all your pictures
After you’ve finished shooting, HD Slide Shows add an extra dimension of enjoyment to your collection of photos and videos. Pick from a choice of musical accompaniments, or import your favourite music track from a connected PC.

Sony W300 Stuffs 13.6MP into a Pocket Cam
Continuing in the trend of packing more and more resolution into pocketable point-and-shoot cameras, Sony broke news Monday of its new Cyber-Shot W300, a slim new digital camera that takes 13.6-megapixel shots.
Like many cameras in Sony’s Cyber-Shot line, the W300 gets a Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar lens, which offers 3x zoom and benefits from Sony’s Super SteadyShot optical image stabilization. It also sports a titanium covering to resist scratches and fingerprints, and manages to fit both a 2.7-inch LCD and viewfinder on its back panel.
Besides offering ultra-high resolution, the W300 also includes an “extra high sensitivity mode” that boosts camera speed to ISO 6400, which Sony says cuts down on blur in low-light situations. A new high-speed burst mode also allows it to capture strings of photos at five frames per second, albeit at a lower 3-megapixel resolution. Three different noise reduction settings also allow users to balance noise versus resolution, and there’s even an automatic “Smile Shutter” option to allow the camera to automatically snap a photo when a subject smiles.
Sony will roll the W300 out into retail stores in May, with a price tag of about $350.

Sony Europe’s Recording Media & Energy (RME) division have announced the launch of three high speed (300x)* CompactFlash cards to meet the capacity and speed demands of professional D-SLR photographers and ambitious amateur photographers. With UDMA (ultra direct memory access) support, the new media achieve data transfer rates of 45MB/s during write operation. The new Sony CompactFlash 300x card, which complement the existing line-up of 66x and 133x cards, will be available with capacities of 2GB, 4GB and 8GB. They will be branded as part of Sony’s α (pronounced alpha) D-SLR camera system.
Imaging Resource reviews the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W80 and writes – “It’s hard to call the Sony W80 the bottom rung in the W-Series because it only gives up a few pixels for a lower price. Otherwise the Sony W80 has all the bells and whistles, making it a terrific bargain. It has a Bionz processor, face detection technology, High ISO, Super SteadyShot, in-camera editing, and HD output signal. The Sony W80 does give away detail to hold onto color at higher ISO settings, but most users won’t mind that tradeoff, particularly if you only plan to make 4×6 prints. The color that the Sony W80 holds at ISO 1,600 is pretty good. HD output — particularly when played as a slide show with the built-in special effects and music — was stunning on the Sony W80, but only for stills. This isn’t an HD movie camera, and it even has trouble playing VGA movies through the dock accessory. But to see any HD output from this camera, you’ll have to buy an accessory cable, dock, or dock/printer. Packing that big a technoload (new word, sorry) into such a small package at such a low price makes the W80 an easy Dave’s Pick.”
