Sony
today announced their tiny DSC-P1. Althought not as small as their prototype
"spy camera" it's still small, about the same height as Canon's
Digital IXUS (S100) and a little bit longer, the big deal here is that
the P1 has the same 3 megapixel CCD seen in the S70 & F505V AND
a 3x optical zoom lens with an automatic lens cover (how did they ever
fit it in there??). Other improvements seem to have been made, auto focus
is said to be much faster as is zoom speed, and start up times of just
3 seconds. We have exclusive images of the camera, full specifications
and a press release.
