Sony have announced a new model in their H series of Cyber-shot digital cameras in the form of the semi=professional DSLR styled DSC-H50 which offers a 9.1 megapixel Super HAD CCD 15X Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar ultra-zoom lens, a 3” tilting LCD screen as well as optical stabilisation and Sony’ face detection technology.
Of particular note, according to Sony’s press release, the DSC-H50 Cyber-shot also comes with Sony’s advanced D-Range Optimizer and a NightShot mode designed to assist the end-user with capturing imagery in especially low lighting situations and, interestingly, the press release also states that the degree of in camera noise reduction on the DSC-H50 is user selectable – no doubt a feature designed to placate users who have been rather critical of Sony’s somewhat overpowering noise reduction features on previous models.
