Sony has expanded its range of point-and-shoot cameras under the Cyber-shot lineup by introducing two new models, the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W810 and the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-WX220 digital cameras. Here’s a look at some of the basic specifications of these newly-released cameras, along with an overview of their performance.
The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-WX220 Digital Camera has an 18.2 MP 1/2.3" Exmor R BSI CMOS sensor, which, along with its BIONZ X image processor, delivers great performance even in low-light conditions, and provides a faster speed. The ISO range goes up to 3,200. The combination of this CMOS sensor and BIONZ X image processor also facilitates continuous shooting at up to 10 fps, and video recording can be done at 60 fps in the Full HD 1080p format. The Cyber-shot DSC-WX220 camera comes with a 10x Sony G zoom lens that offers a 25–250-mm zoom range. It also features the Optical SteadyShot image stabilization, so there is little or no hint of camera shake in the images. To expand the zoom range, the camera has Clear Image Zoom that provides up to 20x zoom, and the image quality is effectively maintained with its intelligent interpolation methods.
