With the ability to deliver impressive, high-resolution pictures while under the sea, outside or inside, during both day and night, Sony's sleek new line of Cyber-shots represent the ultimate in adaptability for the lightweight electronic camera space. Four new designs declared today involve the DSC-WX150, DSC-W690, DSC-TX66 and DSC-TX20 designs.
The DSC-WX150 and DSC-W690 designs are the slimest 10x eye zoom performance contact electronic cameras – thinner than any other 10x lightweight electronic cameras currently offered in market (measured at thinnest part eliminating lens). This extremely sleek style is largely assigned to the new "Advanced Aspherical" contact factor, which allows the contact unit to be considerably smaller than those in previous 10x zoom performance contact Cyber-shots while still producing very highly specific, accurate pictures.
The new TX66 electronic camera functions an ultra-slim, front-sliding style and measures about 12.2 mm (excluding contact cover), which is about the width of a standard AA size battery. The similarly sleek TX20 electronic camera is Sony's most "rugged" lightweight electronic camera offering -- water resistant (up to 5m or 16ft), dustproof, shockproof (up to 1.5m or 5 ft) and freezeproof (up to 14 levels F).
Each of the new WX150 ,TX66 and TX20 electronic cameras functions a high-resolution "Exmor R" CMOS indicator and innovative BIONZ® image processor, enhancing low-light performance, Auto Focus connections, image leveling and opening up various multi-shot abilities such as 10 fps burst method, "Background Defocus" method, 3D still image firing and more. These designs also have "Dual Record" performance for acquiring high-resolution still pictures while firing film, and "Clear Image Zoom" zoom performance contact technological innovation, which increases eye zoom performance contact to 2x exclusive performance (i.e. 5x eye zoom performance contact to 10x exclusive zoom) at complete electronic camera image resolution.
Each of the new designs can shoot complete HD film (at various resolutions) and offer "Picture Effect" alternatives for innovative photography.
