A big CES for Sony (gee, what a surprise) that included several new digital camera offerings including two new Cyber-shots. The DSC-HX5V and DSC-TX7, Sony explains, are the “world’s first compact digital still cameras” to include full HD (1920 x 1080 60i) Advanced Video Codec High Definition (AVCHD) video capability. They are also the world’s smallest and thinnest AVCHD capable cameras.
These are the first Cyber-shot cameras with an in-camera Backlight Correction High Dynamic Range (HDR) feature, “for managing difficult lighting situations” and TransferJet wireless technology for sharing, storing and viewing images. The HX5V model is also includes GPS + Compass and Optical SteadyShot with Active Mode technologies.
