On Monday (January 30th, 2012) Sony will announce several new Cybershot point and shoot cameras.Some of the models already leaked few weeks ago on a Belgium online store. The new models will be mainly entry-level cameras, I don’t expect anything else interesting.
The new 135 PAN panorama camera is the first Holga to feature interchangeable lenses. The camera takes regular 35mm film and creates 24x72mm size images. A 55mm f/8 and a 0.25mm diameter f/236 pinhole lenses are included:
