Sony introduces versatile new lineup of Cyber-shot cameras

Sony’s slim new line of Cyber-shots have the ability to deliver high-resolution images while underwater, outside or inside and during both day and night. Four new models announced include the DSC-WX150, DSC-W690, DSC-TX66 and DSC-TX20 models. The DSC-WX150 and DSC-W690 models are the world’s thinnest 10x optical zoom cameras -- slimmer than any other 10x compact cameras currently offered in market (measured at slimmest part excluding lens). This thin design is largely attributed to the new “Advanced Aspherical” lens element, which allows the lens unit to be drastically smaller than those in previous 10x zoom Cyber-shots while still producing very highly detailed, accurate images.
The new TX66 camera features an ultra-slim, front-sliding design and measures about 12.2 mm (excluding lens cover), which is about the thickness of a standard AA size battery.
