Sony Cybershot W380

Sony has announced the new Sony Cybershot W380 (and 7 others – details below) – the camera supports both Memory Stick PRO Duo and SD/SDHC memory cards – the camera features a 14mp sensor, a wide angle 5x optical zoom lens (24mm), optical image stabilisation, 2.7″ screen, 720p HD video, the camera will be available in black, silver, gold and red:

“The popular Cyber-shot W Series expands with eight slim, colourful cameras packed with smart features to help everyone take better-looking pictures. Available in luxurious choice of black, silver, gold and red colour options, the range-leading Cyber-shot W380 showcases an incredible array of imaging innovation at a compelling price.

Sweep Panorama makes it uniquely fun and easy to capture landscapes, city skylines, group portraits and more. Just press the shutter button and sweep the camera to take in the whole scene. Sweep Panorama automatically stitches together a burst of images in moments, creating a single ultra-wide image with a huge field of view up to 185 degrees.

Even slimmer and more compact than its predecessor, it boasts a bright f/2.4 Sony G lens with 5x optical zoom and 24mm wide angle to take full advantage of the CCD sensor’s 14.1 effective megapixel resolution. With an extra wide aperture, this high-quality lens opens up fresh creative possibilities, from smoothly-defocused portraits to atmospheric low-light shooting without flash.”

Sony Cybershot TX7

Sony has announced the new Sony Cybershot TX7 – the camera supports both Memory Stick PRO Duo and SD/SDHC memory cards – the camera features a 10mp Exmor R back-illuminated CMOS sensor, a 4x optical zoom lens (25-100mm), optical image stabilisation, 3.5″ touchscreen, 1080p HD video, Auto HDR, and Intelligent Sweep Panorama, the camera will be available in three colours Dark Blue, Silver, and Red (looks more like Pink to me?):

Sony Cybershot TX7

“When cutting-edge looks matter as much as fabulous images, the chic lines of the Cyber-shot TX7 stand out from the crowd. Exquisitely finished in a choice of three fashion colours, the slender body conceals a Carl Zeiss 4x optical zoom lens. Unusually for such a thin camera, the 25mm wide angle capability gives you freedom to pack more into each scene – from dramatic landscapes to group scenes and atmospheric portraits.”
