Sony’s Cyber-shot T500 10 megapixel compact shoots HD videos
Filed under: Digital Cameras, HDTV
It’s no D90, but Sony has a new compact stillcam for your snapping pleasure, the Cyber-shot T500, and it’s touting an HD movie mode just like any good bandwagon hopper should. The 10.1 megapixel camera offers up a 5x optical zoom, 3.5-inch LCD and Optical SteadyShot, but most of the attention is likely to be lavished on the 1280 x 720 30 fps h.264 movie mode. You can grab 720p stills while you shoot, and you can expect to store about an hour of video on your 4GB Memory Stick… you do have a 4GB Memory Stick, right? The T500 hits this October, no word just yet on price. Oh, and she comes in colors.

Forty odd years ago, when I bought my first camera, 35mm point-and-shoot units were much bulkier and substantially heavier than today鈥檚 compact digital cameras. That was before the widespread replacement of metal and glass with polycarbonate and plastic. Digital cameras don鈥檛 need film, so substantial space was saved by not having to accommodate a 35mm or APS film cassette.
