It's mid-2009, and that means it's time for the brands to refresh their point-and-shoot lineup. From past experience, manufacturers usually announce their new digicams from mid-July to early August, but Sony seems to have some problems keeping a lid on its new snappers.

Sony Insider reports that online store
Provantage has listed two new Cyber-shot models, the DSC-TX1 and WX1, on its Web site. When we checked it out at press time, the two cameras were still available online.
Sony Insider said that the these two point-and-shoots will complement the
DSC-HX1 superzoom, and the TX1 will feature a 10-megapixel Type R CMOS imaging sensor, 4x optical zoom, 3-inch LCD and 720p video recording. The WX1 was mentioned as the more affordable alternative with almost similar specifications, save that it will house a 2.7-inch LCD.
There are no pictures of the new cameras available, but we are guessing it won't be long before we get our mitts on either one. Check back with us soon for more updates.
