Sony fesses up, Cybershot W series gets official

Not many surprises here, Sony's W series comes in the 7.2 megapixel DSC-W80, 8 megapixel DSC-W90 and 12 megapixel DSC-W200 flavors we spotted before, but instead of the HDMI plug we were hearing about, the three cameras output their HD wares via a component adapter. Everything else seems to be in line, like 3x zoom lenses, 2.5-inch LCDs, optical image stabilization, ISO 3200, and face detection for boosting exposure and focus. Pre-orders start February 28th, and the W80 and W90 should be available sometime in March, with the W200 following in May. Prices aren't bad for what these things are packing, with the W200 at $400, W90 $300 and the W80 for $250.

How anyone can buy ANYTHING Sony after the cd rootkit debacle is beyond me. Vote with your wallets people.

12 megapixels? The megapixel war continues. Honestly, optical image stabilization, ISO 3200, etc are much more important features then more megapixels.

Get a life.

Bummer. No wide angle lens and ultra low resolution LCD (115K pixels).

I will get onboard when the Cybershot uses SD or micro-SD for memory.

Governments start illegal wars which kill thousands of civilians, the same Gov that taxes them to poverty and imposes burdens on its people, and yet somehow these unseemly political parties keep getting voted back into office by these very same people.

Sure, Gov's do provide some benefit and support at times, but they can also be corrupt, and the point is that the public is quick to forget such things.
