Sony CyberShot TX55 – thinnest camera ever

Everybody is counting down the days until September, when the thinnest camera , CyberShot TX55 , we have ever seen will be launched!
Sony CyberShot TX55 is smashing the market having only 12.2mm (this is a bit thicker than a pencil!). But when it comes to resolution, zoom quality and keeping performance – the size is not an issue. Sony is using brand new technologies to fulfill our expectations:

- By Pixel Super Resolution: the 5X optical zoom range is doubled with this innovating technology, so it can reach 10X optical zoom without any quality or sharp loose .
- Picture Effect: it eliminates the use of other photo-editing programs on taken pictures, as it allows everybody to express his / hers artistic ideas using the built in camera’s effects.

Features:

- Image stabilizer for shooting even while walking (so it corrects possible vertical or horizontal handshakes)
- 3D pictures
- Detailed 42.9 MP 3D panorama shooting ability
- Large touchscreen display of 3.3”
- High Resolution images of 16.2 MP
- 1080i AVCHD video, 60 fps, full HD function
- Flash memory and card slot compatible with M2 and micro SD / SDHC (up to 16 GB for ideal media) – the cards offered by Sony have free downloadable PC software
- You can take a 12 MP picture while recording, without interrupting your full HD video
- Styled new look, four colors available: black, silver, red and purple.

I watch these events unfold on my TV almost every night, and I wonder to myself, what happened BEFORE someone started recording? I mean, surely the “bad guy” wasn’t just walking down the street minding his own business…

Well, in towns all over the country, we wont be left to wonder anymore, cops in many places nationwide have been outfitted with tiny wearable cameras. Unlike the often observed dashboard cameras, these little guys can be worn on a collar, head mount or with the Taser unit shown above, even mounted on Oakley sunglasses. These devices will capture everything from the police officers point of view, not just at the point that some spectator decided to start recording. Police simply activate the device and begin recording evidence that will negate any disputes as to what actually happened. Continue reading.
