Sony shows off the DSC-H3, which they are aiming at the back-to-school parents (not sure why you need to take pictures of kids going back to school, but whatever). So if you have kids that are revving up again for another year of education and feel like spending even more money, try out this camera.
Sony said that “the model features high-definition component output, putting a high-resolution spin on the family slideshow. By connecting the new camera to any HDTV set with Sony’s VMC-MHC1 high-definition component cable (sold separately), families can see their digital photos the same way they watch their favorite TV shows – in full 1080 HD resolution. The camera is equipped with a built-in slide show function so you can view photos, complete with transitions choreographed to your choice of programmed music clips or by adding your own. When the camera is connected to a new Sony BRAVIA television, photos are optimized for television viewing with Sony’s new “Photo TV HD” mode. This mode brings the look of actual printed photography to the television set, reproducing high-quality digital photos by fine-tuning image parameters, like sharpness, gradation and color specifically for photographs.”
You will get a 2.5-inch LCD screen and 10x optical zoom for those who like a little bit of specs. It will be available in September for about $300.00 USD.
