Sony unveils new 10MPx Cybershot cameras
Sony Electronics on Thursday announced two new Cyber-shot digital cameras, the DSC-T700 and the DSC-T77. The cameras retain Sony’s slick T-series form factor with slim, pocket-friendly brushed aluminum bodies, sliding lens covers, and multiple color choices. The 10.3-megapixel T700 is intended to double as a high-res portable photo frame, while the entry-level T77 comes with additional automatic shooting modes.The Cyber-shot DSC-T700 replaces the DSC-T300 and offers 10.3 megapixels, 4GB of internal storage, and a 4x optical zoom. The star of the show, however, is the camera’s crisp and bright 3.5-inch, 921k-pixel LCD touch screen, which offers three times the resolution of the T300. To compare, the improved LCD is the same size as the screen you’ll find on an Apple iPhone, but images should look even crisper: the T700 offers 210 pixels per inch (ppi), while the iPhone has only 163 ppi.
To encourage users to put their T700 to work as a portable photo frame, the camera will ship with software that will easily sync, transfer, and organize pictures from your computer—even those not taken on the T700. The app will also automatically resize images for storage and viewing on the camera’s LCD. The T700 should hit store shelves in late September for about $399. The second new camera, the entry-level Cyber-shot DSC-T77, replaces Sony’s DSC-T70. Like its predecessor, the T77 has a 3-inch LCD touch screen and a slim-form-factor (just 0.6 inches wide). It improves on the previous model with 10.1-megapixel resolution (up from 8 megapixels) and a 4x optical zoom (up from 3x). For the T77, Sony has also added more features to its automatic shooting mode, including anti-blink, red-eye reduction technologies, and improvements to the Smile Shutter function, which captures an image when the camera detects a smile in the frame. The T77 should also be available in late September and will keep the T70’s price of $299.

Thats awesome!
sounds good!
tssss…if you would known, because of the small objective their whole t-line are only good for outside….and for this price ?
if you want something good you can get for this price ricoh gx100. thats something different…
those cybershait cameras are super shait
lol might as well by my self a ps3 xbox360 or wii and if i really wanted a camera i would by my self an iphone and hack it instead of this.
but if the price goes down to at least 200 than it would be a great buy.
optical zoom ftw
I guess 12 megapixels is next? Nothing about incrementalism excites me. Try explaining to grandma that the files she is creating with her pix are quickly 1. eating up her hard drive and 2. the reason her 100MB email keeps getting rejected by the server.
“I do wonder just how detailed they could make a digital camera if they really wanted to. ”
They can but pictures will not be any better unless the camera is of bigger size. Something to do with physics and stuff
The lens can only make crisp pictures if it’s big enough.
Isnt this an blog advertestiment?
ahh isnt the 300 out with 13/.2 MP?
wtf?
im sure sony has a 13.2 mp camera out..
wtf is this about?
11, yeah the DSC-W300 13.6MP is out.
10MPx only? So what? There+s a Panasonic with 14.7 MPx already..

i’m just surprised that the thing comes with 4GB of internal mem, as opposed to the worthless like 5mb of every camera past. Now if only they would just kill off memory sticks….ha
as you jack up the MP with these small cameras, it’s more difficult to get light to all of the sensors and low light performance turns to shait. At this level with point and shoots, it’s not even worth it to talk about megapixels, but apparently that’s the only thing that sells cameras. as #13 PT has so clearly pointed out. who the hell needs more than 10MP in a super compact P&S? it makes no sense
Um… all you make good points except HELLO… the T700 is lighter and thinner than any of the mentioned cameras you think are “better choices”.
So, ya, you can have a 14 MP cam that 27mm thick and 190 grams, or get a T700 that 10MP but is only 16mm thick and 130 grams. Don’t be a bunch of techno snobs…
Tit for tat… as always.
who needs such a resolution in such a small body with propably one of the smalles sensor areas…
seriously!
i bet ths cams quaklity is worse than its 8mpix and 6 mpix predecessors as in every other compact camera
i someone really needs resolution you just have to go for a bigger sensor and optics which can actually display such a resolution
dslr ftw!
read more about what i said on http://www.6mpixel.org/en/
if you do not believe me
o0: Yep but marketing is marketing, people think that it’s as simple as more megapixels -> better camera but as you stated it’s often isn’t that simple
GET ANY IXUS FROM CANON,OR ANY CANON INFACT THAT IS SUPPORTED BY THE CHDK FIRMWARE,THIS WILL MAKE UR CANON CAMERA DO THINGS
U ONLY DREAMT OF!!!AND NEW FEATURES ARE ADEDDED ALMOST WEEKLY,
…i got the Cyber-Shot DSC-H50 ..15X zoom ..9.1mp .. its d best !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh please.
Mp means nothing compared to a decent and BIG lens.
Touch screen? Oh boy I can’t wait to use this as a “portable picture viewer” full of fingerprints.
If you want real quality shots get a Reflex camera. Screw the “augmentalism” that is Marketing.
people just don’t get it.
MORE MPx on a same size sensor and lens = WORSE quality.
it’s simple optics. you can only get so much light per inch, on a given lens. ergo, the more tightly you pack the sensors, the less light each pixel gets.
that means you have to turn the sensitivity up by a lot = MASSIVE NOISE.
so instead of getting better pictures, you get very noisy / filtered blurry pictures.
the simple fact is that my 2002 made Fuji s602z with it’s 3MP can take pictures that are MILES ahead. hell, even my newer Fuji s8000fd 8MP camera, doesn’t take much better pics.
who gives a flyin $hit?
i find it funny that camera manufacturers have the public convinced that more megapixels means better images. it just means bigger images. the size and quality of the sensor have more to do with image quality than pixel count does.
i have an old canon elph, 3.2mp. it takes better photos than my friend’s 8mp kodak because it has a quality sensor.
i’m sure the camera folks love it though. they just drop their smallest, cheapest sensors into cameras with high megapixels, jack the price, and sit back while idiots run out and buy them…
When it comes to cameras there are more then one factor of megapixels that determine image quality.
Actual optics of the camera, size and quality of the sensor, noise at X light sensetivity etc.
thats about what we actually try to elaborate
but you must admit that its morte than likely that a compact camera with a tiny sensor is only able to make good pictures with heavy postprocessing…
