Sony DSC-T500 Digital Camera

Rather confidential until recently, the compact touch screen is widespread smooth as we advance in years. In line with Panasonic FX500, Nikon Coolpix S60, here is a new model tactile signed Sony: the Cyber-shot DSC-T500. This function will touch navigate through the settings but also to sharpen a point or to activate the selection of faces, simply by pointing the finger at a face. The screen then reported by its dimensions above average and its widescreen (16:9).

The T500 also enjoys a fairly advanced video mode that records sequences until 1 280 x 720 pixels. This video is designed so that it can also record still images without interrupting the video and use the optical zoom while recording. Three interesting features that compact and bridges will also soon propose today alone, Nikon having thrown a stone in the pond by equipping its SLR D90 a video mode…

It will then zoom the camera which has a optical stabilizer that reduces the impact of vague and moved to stabilize the image on the screen. The stabilizer is especially useful if the zoom of the camera is extended (this is the case here with a goal covering the equivalent of a 33 - 165 mm), longer focal lengths are particularly difficult to control Hand lifted. If a powerful zoom is then interesting to fetch the details below, we can only regret that Sony has emphasised the long focal length at the expense of wide-angle.

Video can be recorded at up to 720p resolution at 30 frames per second. Movies are recorded in MPEG4 format with AVC/H.264 compression and audio formats. Video clips up to 10 minutes long can be recorded

Sony is adding high-definition movie recording to its digital camera line with the introduction of the Cyber-shot® DSC-T500 model.

This 10-megapixel camera features wide and full-screen 720p movie recording at 30 frames per second in fine, standard and VGA recording modes. This resolution is three times higher than standard-definition movies.

The movie function is based on the MPEG4 AVC/H.264 codec for video compression and stereo audio. Benefits of the format include high-quality video as well as small file sizes that are easy to download, upload and share.

“Our research revealed that people like to shoot video with their point-and-shoot cameras, but were very dissatisfied with the video quality and the resulting large files,” said Phil Lubell, director of digital camera marketing at Sony Electronics. “Our new T500 fulfills this customer need for a digital camera that delivers high-quality movies in a small form factor.”

Movie capture on this model is further enhanced to include zoom while in recording mode and high-sensitivity shooting for natural- or low-light environments.

The camera can continuously record a video clip up to 10 minutes in length. It can hold hours of clips by expanding the camera’s capacity with a Memory Stick® media card (media sold separately), which now has capacities up to 16 GB.

It also features a dual photo and video capture mode. Simply press the photo button while in movie mode and capture up to three photos with no recording interruption.

Powerful Features for Exceptional Images

The T500 camera integrates a wide (16:9), 3.5-inch (measured diagonally), transflective, touch panel LCD screen for easy navigation, framing and viewing in strong light conditions. It has a Carl Zeiss® 5x optical zoom lens with a wide field of view (33 – 165 mm, 35 mm equivalency). It incorporates Optical SteadyShot™ image stabilization and high sensitivity settings up to ISO3200 helps combat blur and facilitate flash-free shooting for natural-exposed photos.

The model also incorporates face detection technology, an intelligent function that automatically detects up to eight faces in the camera frame and adjusts focus, exposure and flash.

High Definition Living

The T500 camera connects to a compatible HD television via an HDMI™ cable (sold separately). Photos and videos can be enjoyed as slide shows in high definition for a cinematic experience.

Subjects can take center stage as slideshows move through sophisticated pans, fades and wipes. Slide shows are given a boost with background music, including use of up to four pre-recorded music tracks of up to five minutes in length. You can even add your own tunes, using the bundled software.

Pricing and Availability

The DSC-T500 is supplied with Picture Motion Browser software for easy organizing and viewing of images. Sleek and compact, it will ship in elegant black with a brushed metal finish in late September for about $400.
