Canon must really feel flattered with all the press that other camera manufacturers are providing. Just last week, Panasonic released a behind-the-scenes video (subsequently taken down) that revealed its new Panasonic G2 commercial was shot with the 5D Mark II, although it appeared to be captured with the Panasonic G2 at first blush.
And, while Sony hasn’t gone to the amount of effort that Panasonic did to showcase Canon’s full frame camera, the EXIF data embedded in the promo shots for Sony’s new Cyber-shot cameras (WX5, TX9, T99) reveal that many were shot with the 5D Mark II (see top screen capture). [Read more…]
The Sony Cyber-shot TX9 is a 12.2-megapixel point and shoot camera. The 12.2MP sensor is a backlit CMOS design and is powered by Sony’s BIONZ processor. The TX9 features an ultra-compact design, along with a 3.5″ touchscreen display similar to what is found on the Sony Cyber-shot TX7. Add on top of that, a 4x optical zoom (25-100mm equivalent), Optical SteadyShot image stabilization, and a sensitivity range of ISO 125-3200. [Read more…]
The Sony Cyber-shot WX5 is the more traditionally designed sibling to the Sony TX9. Like its touchscreen sibling, the WX5 features a 12.2-megapixel backlit CMOS sensor and is powered by Sony’s BIONZ processor. The WX5 features a 5x optical zoom (24-120mm equivalent) with Optical SteadyShot image stabilization, and offers a sensitivity range of ISO 125-3200. [Read more…]
The Sony Cyber-shot T99 is a 14.1 megapixel point and shoot camera with an ultra-slim design. The T99 has a CCD imaging sensor, instead of the backlit CMOS sensors found in some of the higher-end Cyber-shot models like the new Sony Cyber-shot TX9. However, the T99 includes the same BIONZ processor that now powers the Cyber-shot and Alpha range of cameras.
The T99 offers a 4x optical zoom lens (25-100mm equivalent) and a broad sensitivity range from ISO 80-3200. These features, combined with Optical SteadyShot, suggest better low-light capability for such a compact camera.
The T99 features a 3″ touchscreen display, much like the previous Sony Cyber-shot TX5. Additionally, the T99 is equipped with Sony’s signature Sweep Panorama mode, which is capable of underwater operation as well. Finally, the T99 will capture 720p HD video in MP4 format.
The Sony T99 will carry an initial retail price of about $250. Check availability on Amazon.com.
