Just-announced 3 megapixel, 3x zoom P-series camera in Dave's capable hands...
Dave here: Yeesh, this is starting to sound repetitive! *This* particular new Cyber-shot sports a three megapixel sensor, a sharp 3x Zeiss lens, and a few more features. It's slated to appear at a retail price of $400. (This is getting really good, isn't it?- Full-featured three megapixel cameras at $400. Pretty neat...)
Other specs are similar to the lower end models mentioned above - and like the others, it has Sony's new "MPEG HQX" technology, which lets you record movies up to the capacity limit of the Memory Stick! (No fixed buffer limits of 5, 10, or 15 seconds. You can record literally minutes of digital action.) Check it out!
