Sony T5 Still Camera Shoots 24 Minutes of VGA Video
August 05, 2005
San Diego, CA - Measuring a scant 3.7 x 2.4 x 0.8 inches, Sony's new Cyber-shot DSC-T5 digital still camera ($349) delivers 24 minutes of VGA-quality 640 x 480 MPEG video at 30 fps on a 2GB Memory Stick.
This new model combines Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar optics with 5.1 megapixel resolution for still photos, a 3x optical zoom lens, a 2.5" Clear Photo LCD screen, 32 MB of internal memory for storage and easy transfer to an optional Memory Stick media card.
The T5 has a vertical design: It features a lightweight, aluminum body available in four autumnal colors - red, champagne gold, silver and black - with a sliding matte silver lens cover.
"This is the perfect `next' camera for anyone who doesn't want to miss a moment, whether out on the town or at family gatherings," said James Neal, director of digital imaging products at Sony Electronics "It's the most affordable model in our T series and a great value given its enhanced performance."
The lens has a folding-optical-path design, so it does not extend forward from the camera body. The T5 also comes equipped with Sony's anti-reflective Clear Photo 2.5" LCD screen, which is designed to reduce unwanted glare in brightly-lit environments and deliver vivid color reproduction.
With an optional Memory Stick PRO Duo media card, shooting high-quality video is simple. MPEG-VX fine mode lets you record MPEG video with 640x480 pixel resolution at 30 frames per second, up to the capacity of a compatible media card. A 2-gigabyte high speed Sony Memory Stick card can hold up to 24 minutes of VGA-quality 640 x 480 MPEG video and 384, 5-megapixel JPEG Fine images.
The Cyber-shot T5 will be available in September for $349 (red, black and champagne gold options will be available in October). The camera comes supplied with a NP-FT1 InfoLithium battery, BC-CS3 battery charger,
multi-connector cable, wrist strap and software CD-ROM.
