by Heather McLaughlin

Recently Sony introduced 4 new Cyber-shot cameras to their growing line of digital cameras.
The four new model numbers are the DSC-W55, DSC-W35, DSC-S700 and DSC-S650.

The DSC-W55 is slim and compact. The DSC-W35 models will sport 7.2-megapixel imagers and precision Carl Zeiss(R) Vario-Tessar lenses. They combine traditional, eye-level viewfinders with large LCD screens for easy framing and viewing of photos. The W55 camera will make a splash in Caribbean blue, pale pink, elegant black and sleek silver with a 2.5-inch LCD screen wrapped in a metal body, and the W35 camera will shimmer in silver with a
two-inch screen.

The new DSC-S700 and DSC-S650 cameras will also feature 7.2-megapixel imagers, and will shine in classic silver. The former model will house a 2.4-inch LCD wrapped in a metal body and the latter a two-inch screen. All four new models feature 3x optical zoom capability, blur-reduction technologies (ISO), and substantial internal memory for shooting without a
media card. Their storage capacities can be expanded further with optional 8GB Memory Stick Duo(TM) or Memory Stick PRO Duo(TM) flash media cards for the W-series models and 4 GB Duo media cards for the S-series models.

Consumers can put in preorders for these cameras beginning on January 23,2007 at Sony Style. Pricing is between $150.00-$200.00 and accessories are optional.
