Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W300 Review

Topic:

Our review partner Digital Trends published a review of the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W300 camera.

Quote from the review: "It's hard to believe you can buy a 13.6-megapixel point-and-shoot digicam for under $349 USD from a top brand-not simply a piece of junk from some godforsaken outfit working in the farthest depths of this globalized world. Think 13 or 14MP is a lot? There's no end to the megapixel race as camera makers constantly try to outdo one another day-by-day. We've heard 14-plus megapixel compacts are due in September and we even expect 25MP D-SLRs to be introduced at the Photokina 2008 trade show around that time. Pretty amazing stuff. Read more

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-S600 6MP Digital Camera Review

Topic:

This time our partners at Designtechnica review the budget 6MP Sony Cyber-shot DSC-S600.

Quote:
"Available since late last year, the Sony DSC-S600 is a great indicator of 2006 consumer price trends. For $199, you get a 6-megapixel compact point-and-shoot camera with a 3x optical zoom from a well-known brand.
No, we're not talking about Concord, DXG or Vivitar but a top-tier company. Depending on the survey du jour, Sony is considered among the top three worldwide. Another indication pricing is going your way is the recent announcement of the Olympus FE-140, a 6MP digicam with a 3x optical zoom and a 2.5-inch LCD screen for $249 list (due March).
Like some competitors, Sony used manufacturers in China to cut cost rather than making them in Japan like the recently reviewed DSC-T9. Now did Sony cut back the build quality of the S600? Of course but the key question is the camera worth the money? We'll snap the shutter and let you know."

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T9 Digital Camera Review

Topic:

Designtechnica reviews the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T9 that was introduced last November.

Quote:
"Two years ago Sony shook up the digital camera world with the introduction of the DSC-T1, the first 5-megapixel model with a huge 2.5-inch LCD screen and an ultra thin form factor thanks to a non-extending 3x optical zoom lens.
Even at $550, it was a smash hit and was followed by many competitors and various iterations by Sony itself. The recently introduced Sony DSC-T9 is the latest edition and it adds some significant improvements including a 6MP imager, higher sensitivity (ISO 640) and Super SteadyShot optical image stabilization, a very important feature for a camera that's held by your fingertips. Even better the camera is cheaper than the original by a 100 clams. "

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-N1 Review

Topic:

I was already enthusiastic about the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-N1, when Sony announced this very compact 8MP digital camera featuring a touch-screen.

Steves Digicams has published one of their typical detailed reviews covering all aspects of the DSC-N1 and their verdict is very positive.

Quote:
"The Sony Cyber-shot N1 is a nice digital package that offers great image quality, speedy performance, and a very cool touchscreen LCD. Its 8M Fine images have more than enough resolution to create stunning 13x19-inch borderless prints.
We feel it will make a great choice for anyone who wants an extremely pocketable digicam with loads of high-end features. Taking pictures is a snap when using either of its fully automatic modes. "

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-R1 Review

Topic:

Sony announced the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-R1 10MP digital camera in September. Our review partner DesignTechnica just reviewed a pre-production model of this exciting new digital camera.

Quote:
"'This is probably the most anticipated digital camera this season and it's due to be officially introduced mid-November for under $1,000.
The just-introduced 12.8MP Canon EOS 5D ($3,299) was the other object de lust since it's the world's "smallest and lightest" full frame D-SLR.
With full frame cameras there's no "digital factor" so all lenses including fish-eyes are their true focal lengths. Before the 5D you'd have to spend seven grand to get this convenience. At this price the 5D is targeted to very serious photographers; the DSC-R1 is for mere mortals. "
