The 8-megapixel DSC-T20 camera features a Carl Zeiss 3x optical zoom lens and a 2.5-inch LCD screen.
Let Sony Take You Higher
When it comes to entertaining, the living room is the hub. Sony's new DSC-T20 features high-definition (HDTV) output so you can bring your photos to the party and take full advantage of the HD equipment already in your home. Once you have viewed photos in the utmost clarity, color and detail on an HDTV set, there's no going back to huddling around a PC. And tech-savvy snappers know that standard-definition equipment can't display the full glory of even a 2-megapixel picture.
Optional Accessories
Sony's new DSC-T20 has three accessory options for high-definition photo viewing. The camera is compatible with the new Sony VMC-MHC1 HD component cable for simple connection to an HDTV set. It can also be connected to the new Sony CSS-HD1 high-definition Cyber-shot Station™ with a bundled component cable and a remote commander. Connect all your devices to the station just one time and it also works as a charger for the camera.
The complete high-definition photo viewing solution is the Sony DPP-FPHD1 package, which includes the high-definition component cable, a Cyber-shot cradle, a remote commander and a high-definition printer with component HD output. Designed to complement any living room, this new printer comes in elegant black and can be positioned horizontally or vertically. As you view your pictures, you can print the ones you want to hand out as party mementos, on the spot, in about 45 seconds.
The new DSC-t20 is equipped with a built-in slide show function. You can play back your images, complete with dynamic transitions choreographed to your choice of music clips.
Don't Let Bad Photos Kill The Buzz
The party people will look fabulous in every shot with Sony's new face detection technology. It can identify up to eight faces in the camera's LCD frame, and automatically adjust white balance and flash as well as focus and exposure for sharp, clear photos.
Shooting in low light doesn't have to result in blurry, grainy photos. Sony's Super Steady Shot® optical image stabilization counters camera shake and stabilize images so you can easily shoot with longer exposure times. Armed with high light sensitivity (up to ISO 3200), you can also shoot at higher shutter speeds without using the cameras' flash and spoiling the mood of the pictures. Sony’s Clear RAW™ noise reduction technology will help reduce the picture noise common to low-light exposures.
Technology That Won’t Slow You Down
Sony's new T-20 is powered by the Bionz™ processing engine, first used in Sony's Alpha digital SLR camera system. Not only does this robust processing engine deliver the fast image processing speeds needed to produce color-rich, detailed pictures for true high-definition photo viewing, it also speeds up the cameras' response times and extends battery life.
Slide the lens covers down and the camera is ready to shoot in less than a second and prepared for the next shot in about a second. It will keep snapping for the duration of the party - on a full charge, up to 340 shots.
In-Camera, PC-Free Editing
You can edit PC-free using the cameras internal functions. Red-eye correction and dynamic range optimization to adjust under- or over-exposed areas can be performed without having to make a lot of adjustments to the camera. Photos can be retouched and enlivened on the spot with up to four filter selections, such as the fish-eye filter for an amusing fishbowl effect.
