Sony Launches Cyber-shot W300 Compact Digital Camera with 13.6 Megapixel


Sony launches the Cyber-Shot DSC-W300 digital compact camera with 13.6 megapixel, 2.7" LCD screen, scratch-resistant titanium-coated body, HDTV output and all Sony's new intelligent technologies including the "Smile Shutter" and Dynamic Range Optimization.

The new DSC-W300 is expected to be the industry's most pocktable, high-resolution digital compact camera with high performance. The camera has ultra-high 13.6 megapixel CCD with a Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar 3x optical zoom lens, 2.7" LCD screen with 230k pixels and an eye-level viewfinder all in a compact size. I like the body - the premium look and ultra-hard titanium coating makes it highly-resistant to scratches and messy fingerprints.

The intelligent shooting features include Face Detection, Intelligent Scene Recognition Mode, 9-Point Auto Focus, Super SteadyShot optical image stabilization, Sony Double Anti-Blur Solution, Dynamic Range Optimization, Convenient Photo Modes and Burst Mode.

The Cyber-shot DSC-W300 and accessories will be available in May for about US$350 (NZ$430) in the US market. But I guess it may be around NZ$600 when it launches in the NZ market.

Top Digital Camera - Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H3


Looking for a digital camera that fits your pocket, fits your performance requirements and also fits your budget? Then the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H3 is definitely a good choice. The little brother of the Sony Cyber-shot H9 offers:
  • 10x optical zoom (38-380mm)
  • 8.1 megapixel (1/2.5" CCD)
  • 2.5" LCD display
  • BIONZ engine for wider dynamic range and face detection
  • Double Anti-Blur (Super SteadyShot and High ISO) for blur free images
  • HDTV video output
It's a direct competition to Panasonic TZ3 and Canon SX100IS. Overall, Sony has done a great job to pack a 10x zoom lens and 8 megapixels into a tiny body, but the image quality at higher ISOs is a lit lacking. The price of the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H3 is NZ$550 (US$299).
