Sheer and skinny, with a full-back LCD screen, the upcoming Sony Cyber-shot TX200V Waterproof Camera could be just about anything compact, cool and digital, but it is, in fact, a featured-packed 16mm thin cam that’s also dustproof and watertight to 16′. At the core, an 18.2 megapixel Exmor R CMOS sensor coupled with a Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar lens, deliver precision optics, 5x optical zoom and extreme noise reduction for ultra-low light level operation. High-speed autofocus and up to 10 fps shooting speed boost the odds of catching what you see. Helpful software assists include, in addition to the expected red-eye reduction and face detection, smile detection and anti-blink technology. And there’s 1080/60p full HD video, with dual record for simultaneous still and video shooting. A 3.3″ OLED touch screen viewfinder accesses controls and previews photo effects. And more. $499 and shipping soon.
