Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T50 and Cyber-shot DSC-N2 Digital Cameras Announced

11/09/06

Sony has announced two new digital cameras that both bring the 3 inch, touch screen LCD goodness.  The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T50 features the first touch screen in the ultra compact, stylish "T" series.  The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-N2 is an update to the previous touch sensitive N1 and bumps the resolution up to 10 megapixels.  Look for both models in October, with the T50 coming in around $500 and the N2 for about $450.
The 3 inch touch screens on the T50 and N2 will have 230K pixels of resolution.  By utilizing a touch screen and an improved menu system, Sony was able to decrease the number of buttons on the camera.  Just when you thought the T series couldn't get any more stylish, they go and lose those clunky buttons.  Also, the three inch screens enable nice slide show modes where you can use your own background music or customize the slideshow with transitions.
The two new cameras also offer some pretty vibrant colors.  The T50 will be available in silver, black and red.  The N2 will be available in champagne gold.
