Sony go 2.6 megapixel (!) with the F505V & F55V

Another piece of news we've heard rumours about has today been made official by Sony. Today they announced the 3.34 megapixel DSC-F505V and DSC-F55V. Essentially upgraded versions of their popular Cybershot digicams these cameras now complement their (extensive) range of digicams. DSC-F505V will be available in Japan in June @ 125,000 YEN (US$1100), DSC-F55V will be available in Japan in July @ 88,000 YEN (US$830)

Confusingly they seem to have fallen for interpolation.. using only 2.6 megapixels of the CCD and interpolating up to 3.7 megapixels (DUH??).
