ing 4x optical zoom lenses, intelligent scene recognition that lets the camera analize a scene and choose from eight different scene modes, anti-blink portrait mode, smile shutter (the camera waits for a face to smile before taking a picture), and optical image stabilization. The T77 measures 5\/8 of an inch and has a 3-inch, 16×9 touch panel LCD monitor, and has 4GB of internal memory so it doubles as a digital photo album with capacity for around 1,000 full-resolution photos. The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T700, in pink, gold, gray and silver, will retail for around $400, and the T77 will come in brown, green, pink, black and silver for $300. Both cameras should be available by late September.

\nSONY CYBER-SHOT CAMERAS GET SMARTER<\/b>
\nSAN DIEGO \u2013 Sony is making the grade with the introduction of the stylish Cyber-shot\u00ae DSC-T700 and DSC-T77 digital cameras with \u201cintelligent\u201d shooting functions.
\n
\nThe 10-megapixel T77 camera is Sony\u2019s thinnest model at less than 5\/8 of an inch with a 3-inch, 16 x 9 touch panel LCD screen. It features updated intelligent scene recognition technology, Smile Shutter\u2122 and face detection technologies with child and adult priority, as well as high sensitivity shooting (up to ISO 3200), eleven scene modes, and in-camera image management.
\n
\nThe T700 model earns extra points as a \u201cphoto album in your pocket.\u201d It has all the features of the T77 unit plus 4GB of internal memory that can store nearly 1,000 full-resolution or 40,000 VGA-quality photos%3B a 3.5-inch, wide touch panel Xtra Fine LCD\u2122 screen for photo-like viewing (210 pixel-per-inch resolution) with high contrast and wide-angle viewing%3B and a thin profile (slightly more than 5\/8 of an inch) so it can easily slip into a pocket or purse.
\n
\n\u201cSony is taking the lead in developing \u201cintelligent\u201d cameras so that taking great pictures is an automatic function and not a complicated process,\u201d said Phil Lubell, director of digital camera marketing at Sony Electronics. \u201cThis is part of our effort to enhance the camera experience for customers by offering new functionality.\u201d
\n
\nSubstance and Style
\n
\nWhile rich in technologies, style was a key factor in the development of both cameras, said Lubell. They feature a newly-developed Carl Zeiss\u00ae lens that integrates a 4x optical zoom and Optical SteadyShot\u2122 image stabilization, yet achieves a slim form factor. They will also be available in a wider selection of color options than previous T-series cameras.
\n
\nBoth cameras feature updated intelligent scene recognition technology that can now select up to eight different scene modes, including macro, portrait and landscape modes.
\n
\nThis technology also includes a new anti-blink function in portrait mode that will virtually make closed-eyed photos an \u201cold school\u201d memory. The cameras will automatically take two shots and then determine whether the subject(s) have closed eyes using their advanced face detection technology. They will only record images with open-eyed subjects. If both pictures have subject(s) with closed eyes, the cameras will record one and display a warning so you can try again.
\n
\nSony\u2019s Smile Shutter technology has also been improved. It is easily accessible as a \u201csmiley face\u201d icon, which is now a permanent fixture on the camera\u2019s LCD screen in record mode, and can be toggled off and on at the touch of a finger. And during smile capture, auto focus and zoom functions are available, as well as the ability to take a limitless number of shots.
\n
\nNot One, But Two Photo Libraries in Your Pocket
\n
\nThe T700 camera is ideal for anyone who wants to have what Lubell calls \u201cbragging\u201d photos of their kids, pets, vacation or sports highlights with them at all times.
\n
\nOwing to the model\u2019s internal database, thousands of photos can be searched in-camera by event, date, smile or face, including children and infants%3B displayed in calendar or chronological views%3B organized in folders%3B and shared as slide shows or fun scrapbooks.
\n
\nUnlike previous models, this one allows you to store and manage images on both its 4GB internal memory and an optional Memory Stick\u00ae media card. You can maximize the number of pictures stored on the camera with the bundled Picture Motion Browser (PMB) software application and its new PC Synch feature.
\n
\nThis new feature lets you downsize images from full-resolution to VGA and export them back to the camera\u2019s internal photo album. The application operates intelligently with the camera so you can shoot more photos. It will only detect, downsize and export the new shots. This allows you to store literally thousands of your favorite photos in the camera
\n
\nIt is also possible to export photos shot by other cameras or archived on other media into the camera.
\n
\nThe PMB Portable software inside the camera lets you easily upload photos or videos to popular social networking sites like YouTube\u2122 (a trademark of Google Inc.) using an internet connection with any compatible PC via the supplied USB cable. It even has pre-programmed sites in the camera.
\n
\nThe camera also has a scrapbook function that automatically creates simulated scrapbook pages. Now you can share, print or save your scrapbooks unlike previous models.
\n
\nPricing and Availability
\n
\nThe DSC-T77 camera replaces the former T70 model and will be available in brown, green, pink, black and silver in late September for about $300. The new DSC-T700 cameras ships at the same time in red, champagne gold, pink, dark gray and silver for about $400.
