Sony’s Cybershot Exmor Ad Is Laughably Unfair

10:20AM John Herrman | The best part is, I don’t even know to whom. Future camera buyers? Other cameras? To Sony’s own Exmor-equipped point-and-shoots, which got this instead of a respectable marketing campaign? In any case, this is dumb. Let us count the ways! More »

Sony Party Shot Automatic Camera Mount Is For People Who Have Lots Of Parties, But No Friends With Cameras

11:40PM John Herrman | So here’s what you’re supposed to do: Nestle your Cybershot point-and-shoot atop the Party Shot motorised monopod, set a few parameters, and party hard. In theory, when you wake up, you’ll have a memory card full of semi-candid, Facebook-ready pictures. More »

Sony Ericsson’s C905 Spotted At UCHI

5:14PM Nick Broughall | Sony have a mandate to have 90% of their products networked connected within the next couple of years. That’s a pretty big task, no matter who you ask, but one that the company is actually moving towards fairly quickly thanks to a little technology we like to call DLNA. The first Sony Ericsson phone to feature DLNA is the C905 Cybershot snapper, which comes with Wi-Fi, an 8.1-megapixel snapper (and typical camera functions like face detect, BestPic and a Xenon flash). Connected to other DLNA devices on your network, you can use the C905 to access and view content stored on your PC, PS3 or other DLNA device. Or, you can access content (like photos) from your phone on your PS3, without having to plug it in. The C905 is looking to land in Australia in October. And if you happen to be a Mac user and therefore aren’t impressed with the whole DLNA thing, then you’ll be happy to know that the C905 is also one of the first Sony Ericsson phones that is OS agnostic – so you’ll be able to sync your content between your phone and your MacBook.

Sony’s Cybershot T500 Digital Camera Shoots HD Video Too

8:50PM Kit Eaton | As we saw in the Sony IFA 2008 Liveblog, these new Sony Cybershot digital 10.1 megapixel cameras also shoot HD video (720p, though that’s not mentioned in the press release.) The T500 has a Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar lens with 5x optical zoom, 3.5-inch touchscreen, eight-person face tracking, and something called “Double Anti-blur” technology which combines high sensitivity (for fast shutter times) with optical image-shake reduction. It can also connect directly to your HDTV and do slideshows, music and video shows without needing a PC. It’s due October, price info still to be announced. Press release below. More »

James Bond’s Sony Ericsson C902 Cybershot to go Public

8:10PM Kit Eaton | Sometimes the strangest part of writing for Giz is decoding press releases: like this morning’s Sony Ericsson one. Did they leave out an image of the upcoming special limited-edition C902 Cybershot James Bond phone to add to the mystery? Is it supposed to be kinda secret, à la Bond himself? Who knows: luckily T3 snagged a picture of the “titanium silver” phone. 007 himself uses it in the movie Quantum of Solace, and you can get your hands on one too. Hardware-wise the phone is unchanged from the 5-megapixel camera original, but will come with 007-themed content, including a “spy-style” game. Quite how this makes sure you’re “ready for any challenge” I’m not sure. It’s a mystery. As is price and release date. Blimey, Sony Ericsson’s really good at this cloak-and-dagger stuff isn’t it?
