  • Digital non-SLR • Brain dead camera feature design (Canon, Panasonic, Olympus, etc.) April 19, 2024
    I own Canon, Panasonic, and Olympus cameras and they all have the same brain dead, annoying behavior in one respect. I bet you have noticed this too and you just shake your head in wonder that these camera companies all have the same ridiculous design feature. I am hoping there is some camera company that […]

    I have been finding several things about the A6700 that not a single written or video review bothered to mention. No surprise. Every time I buy a camera it is the same. I have searched and still not found an answer to my question so today I asked ChatGPT. It gave this answer which is […]

    I'm here. Check it every day. Most of my older photo software doesn't use Heif. My iPad uses Heif so I changed it to Jpg. All my older photo software products don't recognize Heif files. Canon originally used Heif files. I'll stick with Jpeg. I have a A6500. The A6500 doesn't work with Nissin MF18 […]

*at thinnest point

All new Cyber-shot models include Picture Motion Browser 4.0. The latest version of Sony’s image management application simplifies sorting, viewing and searching through photos and video clips stored on your PC’s hard drive. There’s also a wide range of optional accessories available to help you get even more from your Cyber-shot.

There have been three new designs of soft carry cases introduced to protect the main unit against scratches and dust.  The first,a leather case  is available in four colours (Black, Red, Brown & White) – LCS-CSVA.  The second, a pressed leather case in a different design is also available in four colours (Black, Blue, Green & Pink) – LCS-CSVB and lastly a casual soft carrying case with six colour variations (Black, Green, Silver, Pink, Brown & Blue) – LCS-CSVC.

A newly developed GPS unit kit GPS-CS3KA can put geotag data to pictures taken by Cyber-shot™ , these can then be viewed on maps with Google Earth™ software and uploaded on major web sharing services. The key benefits over the previous model are higher sensitivity, built-in memory card and SD slots and an LCD display for enhanced usage.

The Cyber-shot™ S930 is available from April 2009. The W270 is available from mid-March 2009, the T900 and T90 are available from April 2009, the S930 is available from April 2009 and the H20 is available from April 2009.

    That is good, so the W170 is now on $179 in SonyStyle… 😉

    NOTE: the T900 LCD 3.5″ is a HD LCD 921K of resolution, like to a700, but a little bigger.

    Is a good signal that is very probable Sony has resolved the thickness of the LCD HD to 3 and 3.5″.
    So we could to see a in the future a new Alpha with LV and a LCD HD and tilting.
