Speedy Sony digital camera offers various settings
Sony boosts the odds of snapping a spectacular picture with the debut of a 10.3-megapixel camera. Equipped with a 24mm to 120mm (35mm equivalent) Carl Zeiss Vario-Sonnar T zoom lens, the Cyber-shot DSC-R1 can capture wide-angle shots of landscapes and large gatherings or zoom in to photograph someone in the distance. Using its electronic viewfinder, you can preview exposure, color renderings and other scene conditions on its 2-inch liquid crystal display (LCD). The speedy camera delivers a one-second shot-to-shot time, three-frames-per-second burst shooting and a shutter release time of 7.5 milliseconds. Images can be stored on Memory Stick PRO, CompactFlash and Microdrive media. The camera goes on sale in November for about $1,000.
