Sony Cybershot WX1 Announced with f2.4 Lens
Sony has announced the new Sony Cybershot WX1 – with a f2.4 wide angle 5x optical zoom lens (24mm – 120mm), it offers “Extraordinary pictures even in low-light”, and features a back-illuminated 10 megapixel CMOS sensor, optical image stabilisation, HD 720p movie recording, 2.7″ screen, and 10fps shooting.
“At the heart of both cameras’ sensational imaging performance is the groundbreaking Exmor R™ CMOS sensor. With a resolution of 10.2 effective megapixels, it’s teamed with Sony’s powerful BIONZ processor for superb pictures and rapid shooting responses.”
“Sony’s Exmor R™ sensor uses an innovative sensor structure that captures more light than conventional CMOS designs, boosting sensitivity while reducing image noise. The result: breathtakingly natural, detail-packed photos – even in low light conditions where other cameras struggle.”
“The powerful BIONZ processor is key to both cameras’ super-fast shooting responses. The mechanical shutter of the TX1 and WX1 can grab a continuous burst of full-resolution images at an incredible 10 frames per second – quicker than many professional DSLR cameras.”
“Complementing the Exmor R™ CMOS sensor and BIONZ processor is a premium Sony-engineered G Lens that sets a new benchmark for compact cameras. This combines superbly with a 24mm wide angle lens allowing you to fit even more into your frame.
With a generous 5x optical zoom range, this class-leading lens delivers extraordinary resolution and contrast at all focal lengths from wide-angle to telephoto. An extra-bright maximum aperture of f/2.4 expands shooting possibilities, grabbing more light than other compact camera lenses to capture better-looking photos in dimly-lit situations.”

Canon Powershot G10 Review
Photocrati has reviewed the new 14.7 megapixel Canon Powershot G10 – an update to the G9 – it features a wide angle 5x optical zoom lens with optical image stabilisation, RAW support, 3″ screen, VGA video recording and ISO1600. The Canon G10 is available for £350:
“I don’t know of any point-and-shoot camera that commercial advertising shooters have used more than Canon’s PowerShot G-series. Yes, there are other very capable point-and-shoots out there, but none has garnered the G-series’ rep. As with its predecessors, the G10 remains the flagship in Canon’s point-and-shoot lineup, and as such, this camera proudly carries the colors into the heat of battle.”
