Sony’s Slim, Colourful T700 Digicam has 4 GB Internal Memory

Sony’s Slim, Colourful T700 Digicam has 4 GB Internal Memory

Sony of Canada has introduced a pair of new T-Series Cyber-shot digital cameras, one of which it deems the “world’s slimmest camera with optical image stabilization”, and the other with an impressive 4 GB of internal memory for storing images right in the camera.

In addition to an attractive outer exterior, the 15 mm-thin T77 also boasts a 10 MP sensor, 3-inch, 16 x 9 touch-screen LCD, intelligent scene recognition technology that can automatically select from up to eight scene modes, and face detection. As fun but functional features, the camera also includes Smile Shutter, which waits to snap a photo once the subject is smiling; and anti-blink, which will take two shots (in portrait mode), and record only the images where the subject’s eyes are open.

The T77 will be available in late September for approx. $350. It will come in five vibrant finishes: dark gray, silver, gold, pink, and red.

Sony calls the T700 ($450) a “photo album in your pocket”, adding to the aforementioned features an ample 4 GB of internal memory for storing photos within the camera rather than on a memory card. Although the T700 doesn’t have a touch-screen interface like the T77, its LCD is a slightly larger 3.5”, and supplies high contrast coupled with a wide viewing angle. This model is just 16.4 mm thin, and comes in the same colour options.

Both models also integrate a newly-developed Carl Zeiss lens with 4x optical zoom, and Optical SteadyShot image stabilization. An internal, searchable database lets users search for images by event, date, smile or face, and display them in calendar mode, chronologically, in folders, or via slideshows and scrapbooks.

Picture Motion Browser (PMB) software, which comes with each camera, lets you automatically down-size images to VGA on your computer, then export them back to the camera’s internal memory. This way, you can save more photos to the camera itself, while saving the high-resolution versions on your PC. Additionally, the software can be used to upload images and video to popular social networking sites like YouTube.com.
