10 megapixels and HD recording of Sony T500

Alongside 10.1 effective megapixel, it's the first Cyber-shot that captures HD movie clips with stereo sound. New HD movie mode allows continuous shooting time of up to 10 minutes per clip. Movie files are recorded in 'PC-friendly' MPEG4 AVC/H.264 format. This offers HD picture quality while keeping files down to a minimum size for convenient saving, sharing and viewing via the web or email.
 

Still images while video recording

Not sure whether that special moment deserves a photo or a video clip? It's easy to switch instantly between still and movie modes at the touch of a comfortably placed button on top of the camera. You can even grab crisp still images (1280x720 pixels) without interrupting video shooting.


5x Carl Zeiss zoom

The Carl Zeiss lens features a new ring-type Zoom button, allowing easy adjustment throughout the 5x range while you're shooting movies. The lens itself is stabilized and offers an equivalent to 33-136mm focal range.


The wide 3,5" LCD touchscreen of the T500

Pictures and video clips can be viewed on the extra-large wide 3.5-inch touchscreen LCD. As well as giving a comfortable view of your images, the touchscreen also makes operation of camera functions simple. Touching anywhere on the screen while you're composing a shot locks focus on that part of the scene. Touching a face turns on Face Detection, ensuring that people's faces in the scene are in focus and with the correct exposure for fewer spoiled shots. Up to eight faces can be tracked at a time, making the T500 ideal for capturing large groups of friends and family.
 

HD Slideshows

After you've finished shooting, HD Slide Shows add an extra dimension of enjoyment to your collection of photos and videos. Pick from a choice of musical accompaniments, or import your favorite music track from a connected PC. If you want bigger picture, still images and HD movie clips can be experienced with extra impact on your HD Ready television. Connected via HDMI to your HD TV, BRAVIA Sync allows on-screen control of Cyber-shot playback functions using the TV's remote control. Supplied Picture Motion Browser software makes it easy to browse and manage pictures and HD movie files on your PC, upload your favorite moments to image sharing sites, or email them to friends and family.


Sony T500 price and availability

The Cyber-shot T500 will be available from October 2008. Its price should be around USD 400.
