Sony CyberShot DSC-T30 Digital Camera
Photography nuts will certainly dig this story. Sony is launching the new 7.2-megapixel Sony Cybershot DSC-T30 model which promises to free you from the shackles of those dreaded blurry images. Novel and latest technologies have been incorporated in the camera to make it a state of the art revolutionary digital camera which promises hassle free photography. Thus Sony wants to target this camera at a large demographic including beginners and semi pros.
The 7.2-megapixel Sony DSC-T30 will feature the renowned Carl Zeiss(R) Vario-Tessar(R) 3x optical zoom lens and a three-inch, Clear Photo LCD Plus screen for vivid and vibrant imagery. This model will also feature the exclusive patented Super Steady Shot(R) optical image stabilization technology and is equipped with double anti-blur protection. This in a nutshell means that the DSC-T30 is designed to produce clear and sharp images, no matter what the shooting and lightening conditions are. To further enhance this feature Sony ahs also thrown in a high-sensitivity mode menu which reducers blurriness.
The Sony DSC-T30 also has a high light sensitivity (ISO 1000) mode which ensures vibrant and detailed images even in low light conditions. For further ammunition Sony has incorporated the exclusive Sony Clear RAW noise reduction system which eliminates any possibility of image noise which is usually associated during high-sensitivity shooting. It also features selectable color modes which can be set according to the photographer’s mood like natural mode and vivid mode. The Real Imaging Processor(TM) circuitry results in speedier and more efficient performance, faster shot-to-shot times and higher-quality movie capture. The InfoLithium(R) battery provides 420 shots per full charge and the camera has 58MB of internal memory which can be extended to two gigabytes via an optional Memory Stick Duo(TM) media card. The camera is fully compatible with the Sony DPP-FP50 digital photo printer and would be available by next month for $500.
The Sony DSC-T30 camera is supplied with an Info Lithium battery, battery charger, multi-connector cable, wrist strap and software CD-ROM. Optional accessories include a travel charger (BC-TR1, about $60), Cyber-shot Station (CSS-TNA, about $80), a marine pack (MPK-THC, about $200), and a genuine leather cover (LCJ-THA, about $40).
“When people are out having a good time, they don't want to spend it learning how to avoid taking blurry pictures," said James Neal, director of marketing for digital imaging products at Sony Electronics. "We've engineered our flagship T-series camera with intelligent, automatic features so people can spend more time having fun and less time understanding technology."
