Cameras: Sony Digital Cameras
June 21, 2008 11:11 am Cameras, ElectronicsNew Sony digital cameras are all given the brand name Cybershot. Sony makes cameras for all levels of the consumer digital camera market. The professional line may not satisfy professional photographers who have demanding photographic requirements. They use a smaller sensor than other professional-grade cameras.
Sony also designates their cameras with a DSC followed by their model letter and number. So, the Sony Cybershot DSC T1 digital cameras are model 1 in the T line of Sony Cybershot cameras. The T cameras are Sonys contribution to the ultra-compact, pocket-sized, card-style digital cameras.
Sony digital cameras come in three other basic lines. There is the U line of stylish ultra compact cameras; the P line of personal-use, point-and-shoot cameras; and the more full-featured F line for the prosumer and professional markets. They all use the Sony Memory Stick for image storage, except the DSC F828 which can also use CF cards.
The Other Sony Digital Cameras
Some Sony digital cameras are not mass produced for sale outside of Japan. There are lines other than the Cybershot lines that are simply not as popular. The Sony Mavicas use CD-R/RWs for image storage, if that is something you prefer. There are also the Sony Qualia cameras that look like spy technology and have military-sized price tags.
