Sony's New DSC-H1 Cybershot Digital Camera
Posted by James Fee in "HARDWARE" @ 12:00 PM
"Sony released (in the USA) its latest digital camera, the DSC-H1 Cybershot. The device has a 5MP sensor and 12x optical zoom (f=6.0-72.0mm). Only format you can use to store your pictures are the MemorySticks (surprise surprise). Personally, I have my doubts concerning the styling, but that’s just my own personal opinion…"
It appears like a nice camera, but again with the memory stick. :really mad: Its not on their homepage yet, but Sony is going to really have to change their ways or they'll join Nikon on the way out of the top 5 digital camera makers. What is striking to me at least is that Sony only has two (this new camera would make it three) "prosumer" cameras on the U.S. market. I guess they plan to do battle with Kodak and Sony on the low end, but since when has Sony ever been able to compete on price?
