Sony takes its turn in the pre-PMA lineup with a slew of new digicam announcements. Starting at the "prosumer" end, we have the ultrazoom Cyber-shot DSC-H10, with an 8.1-megapixel sensor, 10x zoom and a higher-resolution screen than its predecessor, the H3. It arrives in April for $300.
On the purse-friendly side, say hello to four new compact shooters in the DSC-W series, starting with the 7.2-megapixel W120 and moving up to the 10.1-megapixel W170. New items include enhanced faced detection that can discern between children and adults and an "easy shooting" mode that simplifies menus and enlarges text. They arrive in March and April, with a price range of $200 to $300.
Finally, there's the intriguing 7300, a high-end compact with 5x zoom, 10.1-megapixel sensor, a touchscreen that allow you to jot memos with a stylus and a slew of after-effects, including a "smile" tool that supposedly coaxes a grin out of uncooperative photo subjects. Look for it in March, priced at $400.
