The Sony Cyber-shot TF1 is a water-, dust-, shock- and freezeproof offering with 16 megapixels, 4x optical zoom, OSS and 720p video, while the AA battery powered Sony H200 has a 20.1-megapixel CCD and 26x optical zoom.

Press Release

New Cyber-shot™ cameras from Sony with best-ever picture quality, enhanced Optical SteadyShot and Wi-Fi

• Improved Optical SteadyShot, effective even when zooming
• Enhanced Superior Auto for better results with moving subjects
• Built-in Wi-Fi for easy image sharing and backups
• Instant portrait retouching with new Beauty Effect
• Advanced Flash brightens shots of distant subjects

Latest additions to the Cyber-shot™ camera range from Sony offer more exciting opportunities to shoot and share those precious memories – from action-packed holidays and parties to personality-filled portraits.

Featured on the slim, stylish Cyber-shot™ WX200, WX80 and WX60, Sony’s acclaimed Exmor R™ CMOS sensor delivers sparkling, detail-packed still images and Full HD video.

Now up to four times more effective than last year1, Optical SteadyShot on Exmor R™ CMOS models reduces the effects of camera shake for crisp, blur-free results, even when zooming – a common cause of blurred images. Now you’ll see smoother, more stable results at all zoom settings, from wide-angle landscapes to telephoto close-ups.

Newly refined on all three Exmor R™ CMOS models, Superior Auto takes the guesswork out of picking the right camera settings. Cyber-shot™ recognises an even wider range of shooting situations, including tricky low-light scenes. Everything is adjusted automatically for best results in daylight or dusk, with improved motion detection for better, blur-free images when your subject is moving.

Built-in Wi-Fi (Cyber-shot™ WX200 and WX80) makes image sharing easier than ever. Send full-resolution photos wirelessly to your smartphone or tablet, then upload to your favourite social networks using Sony’s PlayMemories Mobile app. View images stored in the camera on your networked TV; or backup photos and videos straight from your camera to a PC with no cables needed.

Wi-Fi even lets you use your smartphone as a handy remote to control your Cyber-shot™. It’s like having a second shutter button in your pocket – great for self-portraits or group shots where you don’t want to be left out of the fun. Other camera functions can also be controlled remotely via Wi-Fi from your mobile, including start movie recording, zoom, select flash mode, self-timer and image review2.

Featured right across this season’s Cyber-shot™ line-up, Beauty Effect brings out the best in your portrait subjects. After shooting, the camera cleverly re-touches photos, removing skin blemishes and wrinkles for more flattering results. It can even widen the appearance of half-closed eyes, whiten teeth and deal with shiny foreheads. Effective with female and male subjects, it’s instant, automatic and far easier than using your PC for tricky image editing.

All new models also feature Advanced Flash that boosts the camera’s sensitivity, making further-away subjects appear brighter with the same amount of light3. Extending the camera’s effective flash range, is a big bonus for party shots, indoors or at dusk where your camera’s built-in flash often struggles to reach the action.

Common to all Exmor R™ CMOS models, compatibility with new TRILUMINOS(TM) Colour4 lets you enjoy those most precious memories, reproduced with rich and natural colours. You’ll experience an expanded palette of vivid, ultra-realistic colours when still images and videos are played back on any BRAVIA TV with support for TRILUMINOS(TM) Display.

Tough enough to keep up the pace, the rugged new Cyber-shot™ TF1 shrugs off snow, sand, dust, freezing temperatures and total immersion at depths up to 10m5. The sporty, shock resistant body is styled for comfortable handling, with easy, fumble-free controls that won’t get in the way of having serious fun – from hiking and grime-soaked bike trails to the beach or pool. The camera automatically adjusts LCD brightness for a clear view of shots, whether you’re inside or outdoors.

With its powerful 26x optical zoom range, the Cyber-shot™ H200 helps you shoot like a pro without needing to change lenses. The camera’s ergonomic comfort grip and DSLR-like styling take their cues from Sony’s ‘α’ interchangeable-lens camera range.

The light, compact Cyber-shot™ W730 makes point-and-shoot photography refreshingly simple, while the W710 adds large, fuss-free buttons to reassure photo novices. You’ll enjoy detail-packed stills and HD video clips every time, without the worry of fiddly camera settings or confusing controls.
