Digital Shot

So it looks like Sony is about to break us off with a very nicely spec’ed little waif of a camera, the 8 megapixel Cyber-shot DSC-T200 (pictured left). Oddly enough, SonyStyle Canada has all the juicy details about this unannounced, significant upgrade to the DSC-T100 — and its little brother, the DSC-T70 (pictured right) — posted up for the world to see before a single press released has passed our desks; we’re talking 3.5-inch touchscreen, 5x optical zoom (3-inch / 3x on the T70), claimed 3200 max ISO, VGA video at 30fps, automatic face detection, and even optical image stabilization, all in sub-160-gram packages. No wireless radios onboard, unfortunately, but you are getting the ability to dock with Sony’s optional CSS-HD1 Cyber-shot Station for TV, allowing images to be viewed in their full glory on high definition sets. Despite the mounds of info and images displayed on these microsites — along with overseas enthusiast site e-Photographia — there are still no pricing / release details to be found, so we’ll keep our eyes open. You can check out the T200, lens cover down, after the break…

Hot damn kiddies. Amazon just posted the specs and delivery for Canon’s EOS 40D. Of course, it’s not official ’til it’s official but Amazon lists a September 20th availability for the true30D successor. The specs? They’re all there: 10.1 megapixel, APS-C sized, self-cleaning CMOS sensor; 30% faster, 9 point AF; ISO 3200 max sensitivity; improved 3.0-inch LCD with Enhanced Live View; 6.5fps continuous shooting (bursting 75 Large/Fine JPEGs or 17 RAW images); sRAW mode; 35-zone metering system; and CF card storage, natch. All in a body just slightly larger than the EOS 30D while tipping the scale with 1.4-ounces (40-grams) more beef. A definite 30D upgrade for those of you who’ve been holding out. Sorry, no new pictures, the shot above was from that earlier leak. Now best get outta here and start shaking down the neighbors for the $1,299.99 required to take the body-only home.
