New Sony Compact Cameras Coming Soon
Coming soon to Laskys will be two new Sony compact cameras the HX9V and HX100V.
Both cameras feature full HD video, 3D sweep panorama and still imaging, ‘Intelligent Sweep Panorama HR mode’, as well as GPS/Compass functionality.
The lens on both compacts are 16.2 megapixels Exmor R™ and are supported by optical SteadyShot image stabilisation, complete with Active mode. New to both models is the Intelligent Sweep Panorama High Resolution mode. It differs from the standard Sweep Panorama as it now captures panoramic images in 10480 x 4096 resolution, and in over 40 million pixels. Also new is the GPS/Compass functionality allowing you to track your location and shooting directions and enabling you to review your results on online maps with any PC.
Were expecting these to arrive at Laskys in April, hopefully I’ll be able to get my hands on one of them prior to launch and give it a test run.
