Sony
out to surprise us all (well those who didn't already know...) today announced
three new digital cameras the DSC-S70 (3.3 megapixels), DSC-S50
(2.1 megapixels) and DSC-S30 (1.3 megapixels). Each camera housed
in a similar case (but rather more traditional looking body than the F505)
features a 3x Carl Zeiss zoom lens, 2.5Hour Lithium batteries USB and
a TIFF mode...
