I like it when camera companies do this kind of online “unveiling”
I like it more when they unveil what I’m looking for
What? No Alpha camera announcement? I was anticipating either a new 7 or 9 series model….oh well, I’m still happy with my 700.
It was already known that there won’t be any A7xx or A9xx… I hoped for A6xx but it looks like it won’t happen either.
Oh well…. nothing cool on DSLR market during CES from Sony. At least canon will show something decent.
Snort. ANNNNNNNND Canon didn’t show Dslr at CES either. Why? Because PMA is when DSLR announcements usually take place. CES has become the home of the DSC class camera and the camcorder. Plus, all things considered, the DSLR announcements have really been whenever the hell manufacturers want them to be.
Guaranteed Sony has Alpha for PMA. Also the TX5 underwater camera (dealers have the info).
The DSC-TX7 and DSC-HX5V are two cameras that should have the world at their feet. Shall we list some of the interesting features?
Full 1920×1080 60i AVCHD at either 17mbps or 9mbps, your choice. Big files = lovely video
Don’t want the AVCHD Blu-Ray authorable content? Fine turn off AVCHD and switch to
MP4 at 1080p (12mbps) 720p (6mbps) or VGA (3mbps). Welcome to online friendly.
Superb stabilization. Oh and Optical Zoom and Optical stabilization is available in video (AVCHD or MP4) or not. Nice.
Backlight correction HDR.
Face detection, face motion recognition, smile shutter.
Full metadata GPS and Compass tagging (HX5V only). Latitude, Longitude, Time, Date, and the direction you were facing when you took the shot. Also nice.
25mm – 100mm. Zeiss. On a folded optic. And it’s WELL CORRECTED. What?! Yes. Yes it is, people. Nice.
25-250. It’s been done, but it’s still nice.
921K screens (TX7) make me happy. And you, too. Especially when composing 60i HD video. So nice.
Handheld Twilight mode is still one of the most useful modes available from any point and shoot from any company. 6 shot stacking to clean up your noise. Priceless in the right circumstances. Thank you, Sony.
The new iSweep Panorama is just as cool as the old Sweep Panorama. Except it handles motion better. Also nice.
TransferJet really is pretty sweet.
Also I have no idea why no one’s screaming about SDHC support in Sony Cybershot AND Handycam. It’s HUGE. And the pricepoints are well stated.
I don’t see what’s not to like about the new models. Really.
Sony’s going to have a very, very good 2010.
