- I'm headed off to PMA 2008 in Vegas tomorrow morning, but it's obvious that what happens at PMA doesn't stay at PMA...it often comes before PMA. So here's a rundown of the pre-PMA camera announcements so far. Check back tomorrow evening for an update after I attend the PMA...

- sony cyber-shot DSC-H7
- Sony changed quite a few details, inside and out, between last year's H5 and this year's megazooms, the Cyber-shot DSC-H9 and DSC-H7. An f/2.7-4.5 31mm-465mm 15x supersedes the 12x zoom on last year's, and the resolution kicks up a notch from 7 to 8 megapixels. Say goodbye to AA batteries...

- Photos and image samples:Sony Cyber-shot DSC-S70Given the budget Cyber-shot DSC-S700's position at the rock-bottom of Sony's 2007 camera line, all you should really expect from it is the ability to take usable photos with minimal fuss. And by those standards, it passes muster. Just.Compact and weighing 6.8 ounces, the S700...

- sony cyber-shot DSC-G1
- Photo gallery: Sony Cyber-shot DSC-G1Sony's Cyber-shot DSC-G1 defies summarization. Is it an overpriced, overlarge 6-megapixel camera with an optically stabilized f/3.5-to-f/4.3, 38mm-to-114mm (3x) lens? A portable photo album with a big 3.5-inch display but a mere 2GB of memory and frustrating Wi-Fi capabilities? An underfeatured portable media player with not...

- sony cyber-shot DSC-W200
- I couldn't have asked for a better example of the evils of sensor-resolution specmanship than Sony's 12-megapixel Cyber-shot DSC-W200. This top-of-the-food-chain addition to the otherwise sensible W series--not exactly budget cameras, but reasonably priced compact models with the occasional amateur-friendly feature--shares the attractive, compact design and midrange feature set of...

- sony cyber-shot DSC-W35
- Don't judge a book by its cover, and don't judge a camera by its body. While the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W35 looks exactly like last year's lackluster Cyber-shot DSC-W30 and sports similar features, it performs better and takes better photos than its predecessor.Though identical in size and shape to the DSC-W30,...

- Sony Cyber Shot DSC-N2
- Sony seems to love touch screens. First, it put a touch screen on its 8-megapixel Cyber Shot DSC-N1. Then, it put touch screens on several of its camcorders, including the high-definition Handycam HDR-SR1 and the HDR-UX1. Then, it put a touch screen on the ultracompact Cyber Shot DSC-T50. Now Sony...

- Sometimes it's easy to forget things, such as where you parked your car, where you put your keys, or perhaps, where you took that one amazing photograph. Thanks to the power of GPS technology, you no longer have to rely on your flawed human brain to figure out where you...

- Sony Cyber Shot DSC-T50 (black)
- Lately, it seems as if Sony is putting out a new T-series camera every other week. The newest addition to this hip line of snapshooters is the Cyber Shot DSC-T50. Like the T30, it features a 7.2-megapixel CCD sensor; optical image stabilization; a 3X optical, 38mm-to-114mm (35mm equivalent), f/3.5-to-f/4.3 zoom...

- Sony Cyber Shot DSC-T30 (black)

- Sony Cyber Shot DSC-W100
- As the current top-of-the-line model in its Cyber Shot W series, Sony's Cyber Shot DSC-W100 shares almost everything with its siblings, the DSC-W70, the DSC-W50, and the DSC-W30: it uses the same ultracompact 6.7-ounce body , 38mm-to-114mm 3X zoom lens (35mm equivalent), and bright 2.5-inch LCD. The W100 ups the...

- Sony Cyber Shot DSC-W70
- Aside from its 7-megapixel sensor, the Sony Cyber Shot DSC-W70 is physically and functionally identical to its series brethren, the 6-megapixel DSC-W50 and the 8-megapixel DSC-W100. And just like its siblings, the DSC-W70 delivers a pleasant snapshooting experience--with the photos to match--making it a good choice for many casual and...

- Sony Cyber Shot DSC-H5
- Sony's Cyber Shot DSC-H5 sits at the top of the company's current crop of megazoom cameras. Fittingly, it has all the specs you'd expect in a camera of its class, including a large, image-stabilized 12X optical zoom lens, a 3-inch LCD screen, a 7.2-megapixel CCD sensor, and a full set...

- Sony Cyber Shot DSC-H2
- Sony was quite late to the megazoom parade with its Cyber Shot DSC-H1, but this follow-up model is more in step with the rest of the marchers. The Sony Cyber Shot DSC-H2's 12X zoom lens now carries the Carl Zeiss moniker, resolution has been bumped up to 6 megapixels, and...

- Sony Cyber Shot DSC-W50
- Your budget would have to be really tight to pass over the Sony Cyber Shot DSC-W50 in favor of the Sony DSC-W30. The two cameras are identical with a single exception: The DSC-W50's 2.5-inch LCD is a full half inch larger then the DSC-W30's. Otherwise, the W50 sports the...

- Sony Cyber Shot DSC-W30
- Sony's pocket-size shooter, the Cyber Shot DSC-W30, provides impressive photos and fast, easy operation in a simple package. Digital neophytes may question its modest allotment of seven scene modes, but the available exposure modes do a good job of handling most situations. In fact, snapshooters will likely be pleased with...

- Sony Cyber Shot DSC-T30 series
- Quick Take: The latest in Sony's T-series ultracompact cameras, the Cyber Shot DSC-T30 follows on the heels of its successful older brother, the Cyber Shot DSC-T9. It comes in the traditional matte silver and a shiny new black version, both with a large 3-inch LCD; on the inside, it ups...

- Sony Cyber Shot DSC-S600
- The chunky, 6.7-ounce Sony Cyber Shot DSC-S600 offers remarkable flexibility despite its bargain price. Its 6-megapixel resolution and moderately wide 31mm-to-93mm (35mm-film-camera equivalent) lens, in conjunction with pretty decent low-light photos and extended shutter-speed latitude in moderate light, combine to produce a point-and-shoot camera with enough versatility to handle most...
