Sony Cyber-shots go HD at PMA

In addition to the four high-def Cyber-shots (DSC-T100, DSC-T20, DSC-H7 and DSC-H9) we reported earlier, Sony has also unveiled the DSC-W80, DSC-W90 and DSC-W200 cameras just before PMA begins next week. At the top of the pack is the DSC-W200 which the company claims to be the most compact 12-megapixel shooter in the market today.

All three Cyber-shots come with 3x optical zoom, optical viewfinders, 2.5-inch LCD panels and are powered by the Bionz image processer with Dynamic Range Optimizer. Of course, there's also face detection, which no camera is complete without these days, high-definition output (component cable required), optical image stabilization and high sensitivity of up to ISO 3,200.

Here's a quick breakdown of the seven new Cyber-shots.
