The upcoming model, designated the Lite-On DX-4O1S can read Blu-ray Disc media at 4X, single-layer DVD at 12X, dual-layer DVD at 8X, and CD media at 32X maximum.

Sony Announces Cyber-Shot DSC-H50 and DSC-W300 Cameras  




Sony announces two new Cyber-Shot digital cameras

Sony announced a pair of new digital cameras in its Cyber-shot line today. The two cameras are the Cyber-Shot DSC-H50 and the Cyber-Shot DSC-W300. Both of the cameras are packed with interesting features.

The W300 is designed to withstand scratches with a titanium coating. The slim camera also boasts 13.6 effective megapixels. Sony uses its BIONZ processor to power features like Smile Shutter which triggers the camera shutter when a smile is detected on people in the frame.

Other features for the W300 include improved Face Detection and a D-Range optimizer along with intelligent scene recognition. The lens used in the W300 is a Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar with 3x optical zoom. The camera uses 2.7-inch Clear Photo LCD and ISO sensitivity of up to ISO6400 and Super SteadyShot is included as well.




The Cyber-Shot DSC-H50 sports a 9.1-megapixel resolution with a Carl Zeiss 15x optical zoom lens. The main feature of the H50 is an advanced sports shooting mode that increases the shutter speed up to 1/4000 of a second.

Sony also uses a long distance flash on the H50 that can illuminate subjects over 55 feet away when using ISO 3200 and wide angle. Sony says extensive manual controls are included to allow for customization and creative shooting. A NightShot mode allows image to be taken in nearly lightless conditions.

The W300 is expected in the U.S. in May at about $350, while the DSC-H50 will be available during the same time frame for around $400.
