Here is the official announcement... http://www.dpreview.com/news/0502/05...sony_dsch1.asp Saw an announcement over on the Steve's Digicams website about it as well. To quote one section from the press release "We've responded to requests from enthusiasts for this type of camera, said Hiro Takahashi, vice president for Sony Electronics' digital imaging products." More like Sony saw how much business they were losing to competitors and decided to whip out their own fixed lens big zoom IS camera, priced in the same ballpark as the Panasonic FZ20. But neither the picture of the camera nor the press release hypes the lens quality on this model. Sony 12x f=6.0-72.0mm 1:2.8-3.7. So it seem that this model lacks constant F2.8 brightness throughout the entire zoom range. I can't help but think this will be a factor in how well it will fare when reviewers begin testing and posting their results. |
