 The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T20 - a replacement for the DSC-T10 - features an eight megapixel sensor which is coupled to a Zeiss-branded 3x optical zoom and a 2.5" LCD display. The DSC-T20's 38 - 114mm equivalent lens incorporates Sony's Super Steady Shot optical image stabilization to minimize blur caused by camera shake at slow shutter speeds. Other T20 features include ISO sensitivity to a maximum of ISO 3200, in-camera photo editing, a Memory Stick Duo / PRO Duo card slot plus 31MB of built in memory, and power from a proprietary Lithium Ion rechargeable battery. The T20 also offers high definition component video output, via an optional proprietary cable or cradle.
The Cyber-shot T20 includes Sony's new face detection technology, capable of detecting up to eight faces simultaneously. Sony's system is apparently linked not only to the T20's autoexposure and autofocus systems as in most similar systems, but also to white balance and flash metering as well - allowing the camera to ensure proper flash exposure and pleasing flesh tones. Also, the T20 marks one of the first applications of Sony's Bionz image processor - first seen in the company's Alpha digital SLRs - in their compact camera models. Sony says Bionz will offer improved image quality, faster response times, and better battery life in its compact cameras.
The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T20 ships from April 2007 priced at US$330, and will be available in pink, white, black and silver.
