Sony’s Cybershot DSC-T500 lets you capture high-definition video

Sony Cybershot DSC=T500

Sony will soon be releasing a feature-rich and yet affordable point-and-shoot joining its Cybershot series - the DSC-T500 digital camera. Featuring a 10-megapixel sensor, this compact digital camera can record wide and full-screen 720p video at up to 30fps in its fine, standard and VGA video recording modes. By standard this is high-enough considering that the DSC-T500 is a digital camera.

The DSC-T500’s movie function is based on the MPEG4 AVC/H.264 codec which produces high-quality video without eating up too much space of the memory card. This movie mode comes even better with a zoom function that works even when the camera is in recording mode. It can record video continuously up to 10 minutes in length and can store hours of video clips depending on the capacity of the Memory Stick.

Other features of the DSC-T500 include a 3.5-inch transflective touch panel LCD screen, Carl Zeiss lens with up to 5x optical zoom capability, high ISO sensitivity of up to 3200, face detection, HDMI output cable, dual photo and video capture modes, and background music for the camera’s slideshow feature.

Sony is planning to release the DSC-T500 in late September and it will retail for $400.
