Sony Cyber-shot DSC-N1

Overview

This new model features a wide viewing angle three inch touch screen LCD designed to act as both camera control and display. The DSC-N1 records a VGA (640x480) copy of every image you take (up to 500) and stores it internally, these images remain even after the full resolution images have been transferred. This provides a long term 'pocket album' feature which can be browsed in a variety of ways. On the photographic front it features Sony's own eight megapixel 1/1.8" CCD sensor with sensitivity up to ISO 800, this is coupled to a three times optical zoom lens. The DSC-N1 should cost around $499 when it hits the shelves.
