Sony has shipped its new Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T50 and Sony DSC-N2 digital cameras, which feature 3" touch-screen displays and built-in slide show capability. The Sony's new models' extra-large screens with intuitive menu options allow for less physical buttons on the camera bodies, resulting in a sleeker design. They also incorporate Sony's Clear Photo Plus LCD technology for higher resolution - 230K, - higher contrast and optimal viewing from various angles.

The Sony DSC-T50 model is the new top-of-the-line camera in the Sony's T-series. It is equipped with a seven-megapixel CCD imager, a Carl Zeiss Vario Tessar 3x optical zoom lens, and 56 MB of internal memory. This camera from Sony shines with its performance and looks, shipping in bold red, black and silver. With pictures stored on an optional four-gigabyte Sony Memory Stick Duo or Sony Memory Stick PRO Duo media cards, the camera can play back more than 1.100 high-resolution images in slide show mode.

The Sony DSC-N2 camera debuts in champagne gold and is a 10-megapixel powerhouse with an extending Carl Zeiss Vario Tessar 3x optical zoom lens. With its built-in photo album function, this model can be a photo diary in your pocket, loaded with up to 500 of images. You snap a picture - the Sony DSC-N2 model stores a full-resolution image on the optional media card or in the camera's 25 MB of internal memory. Additionally, it automatically resizes that same image in VGA resolution and stores it in a portion of the camera's internal memory dedicated to pocket album. No matter how many pictures are offloaded from the media card, you can choose to protect the images you want to keep and, over time, you have a collection of your favorite shots in the camera.

Sony's Real Imaging Processor circuitry delivers fast response times and helps to prolong the life of the cameras' supplied Stamina InfoLithium batteries - up to 400 shots per full charge for the Sony DSC-T50 model and 300 shots per full charge for the Sony DSC-N2 camera.

The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T50 camera offers Super SteadyShot optical image stabilization to minimize blur caused by shaky hands. Both of the new models incorporate high light sensitivity, up to IS0 1000 for the Sony DSC-T50 camera and IS0 1600 for the Sony DSC-N2 model, to facilitate shooting without blur at faster shutter speeds - a necessity when capturing fast-moving subjects or taking photos in low-light environments.
