Sony Releases Colorful 3D-Enabled Line of Cyber-Shots

GeekSugar — Thu, 08 Jul 2010 12:18:29 PDT

When I asked you back in February if you'd buy a 3D camera, a majority of you resounded with an enthusiastic "Yes!" Who knew that just months later we'd be seeing the smallest 3D-enabled Cyber-shots roll out onto the market!? Called the Cyber-shot TX9 ($400), this 12.2MP handheld point-and-shoot takes 3D panoramic photos - that you can view in 16:9 quality on your 3D-ready TVs - by shooting separate left and right eye images as you sweep across the horizon. Although not all of your images can be viewed in 3D, it's definitely a start!

Alongside the 3D panoramic feature, the TX9 takes excellent low-light pics (via its Hand Held Twilight mode that captures six images in the fraction of a second, then combines them to reduce blur and noise), has 1080i movie mode and HDMI output for viewing your videos on your big HDTV screen, and has a 3.5-inch LCD touchscreen, which allows you to scroll through your images and edit photos right in the camera. Bonus - the TX9 comes with a "soft skin" mode that automatically touches up your subjects' skin tones for better portraits and Facebook pics. Other features include blink, motion, and face detection, and Photomusic, which lets you create fun slideshows with music right in the camera. The TX9 is available for preorder now and can be picked up in gray or a pinky-red hue (seen here) this September.

But that's not the only news out of camp Sony today. Find out more about another new model - the T99 - and see additional pics after the break.

Where My Ladies At? The Sony W350D Is Just For You

GeekSugar — Mon, 05 Apr 2010 11:00:13 PDT

Sony Japan announced its latest cameras aimed at the fairer sex earlier today, the Cyber-Shot DSC-W350D - a pair of 14MP digital point and shoots that are encrusted in rhinestones. Coming in either satin pink or silver, these cameras come with a 2.7 LCD screen, face detection, smile shutter, sweep panorama, and 720p video recording, along with a choice of two specialty cases that mimic the jeweled patterns on the cameras and a sophisticated embossed pattern on the inside to match.

Although you may be stoked to get your hands on one of these babies when they hit the shelves later this month, they're available for around $285 in Japan only. Hopefully more countries will be rolled out soon so our pink- and bling-obsessed US comrades can indulge as well!

Cool Capture: Fire and Ice With a Sony Cybershot

GeekSugar — Fri, 18 Sep 2009 13:23:15 PDT

I seem to be obsessed with trying to get "the perfect shot" on my camera. Thankfully for digital photography, I can take over 100 photos of the same thing until the photo looks just right. Did you know that we've started a Cool Capture group that celebrates fabulous pics taken by real cameras?

Here's our latest beautiful entry from reader icecreamsprinkle. She says:

I love the great macro! There were icicles on some party lights that were in my backyard, so I took a quick picture.

Do you have a photo you adore? Join our Cool Capture group and share your image, the model of camera used to take the photo, and a little about the image or moment you captured and it could be featured on GeekSugar. Here's a detailed guide to posting questions or posts to groups if you are new to the PopSugar Community.
