Sony will
show off a new lineup of Cyber-Shot S-series digital cameras next month at CES 2007 in Las Vegas. These digicams will be aimed at the entry-level market.
According to documents recently uncovered by AppleInsider, the electronics conglomerate is preparing to deliver two new S-series models that will each sport a 7.2 megapixel image CCD sensor and 3X optical zoom lens.
A new Cyber-shot S650 model will pack a 2-inch TFT LCD display with a resolution of 480x240, the documents show, while a slightly more elaborate S700 model will include a 2.4-inch display.
Both of the new cams will run on AA batteries and weigh a bit over 6 ounces. They'll ship with "approximately 24MB" of internal memory, support for Sony's "Memory Stick Duo" card format, and a multi-connector providing video, audio and USB 2.0 connectivity.
