Sony T99, WX5 and TX9 Cybershots with BIONZ processors |
Sony has extended the Cybershot line with a trio of new cameras. The T99 is an underwater camera that is capable of shooting panorama shots and 720p HD videos at 30fps. The TX9 is a full HD 1080i with Sweep Multi Angle for 3D style imaging. It also has a ‘background defocus’ feature that gives it the DSLR like effect for sharper foreground images with backgrounds that appear blurry.
The WX5 has no water-resistance but a 5x optical zoom and a Sony G lens. Looks like the WX5 will be $400, the TX9 will cost $512 and the T99 will cost $330.
It’s a real shame that those outside of Japan won’t be able to lay their hands the Sony Ericsson CyberShot S001 at retail stores. It’s a real beauty of a camera phone. The Sony Ericsson CyberShot S001 features an 8.1 megapixel autofocus EXMOR CMOS sensor with LED flash, Smile Shutter and Face Recognition technology, Image Stabilization and auto exposure/white balance alongside sensitivity of up to ISO 1600. 
The Sony Cybershot G3 is a true first. It boasts direct web browsing from the camera via WiFi. The camera can upload photos and videos to Web sites through any public hotspot via its built-in Web browser. It comes with complimentary AT&T WiFi access to Sony’s Easy Upload Home Page all the way up until Jan. 31, 2012. It includes Wi-Fi access at thousands of AT&T hotspots across the United States, including participating coffee shops, some bookstores and quick-serve restaurant locations, plus hundreds of upscale hotels and airports. Some specs on the camera include a dedicated WLAN button, direct links to photo sharing sites like Shutterfly and Picasa Web Albums; video sharing sites like YouTube and Dailymotion.
