Sony debuts new 20MP compacts

Sony has revealed two new Cyber-shot compact cameras to slot into its line-up, both featuring a 20 million pixel CCD sensor.

The W830 includes features an 8x optical zoom Zeiss lens. Meanwhile, the W810, the slightly less advanced of the two, features a Sony 6x optical zoom.

Both cameras feature a Bionz processor and a 2.7 inch Clear Photo LCD. Neither of the cameras include integrated Wi-Fi though.

As the cameras have been designed at casual, partying photographers, a number of different modes are targeted directly at those kinds of users.

Modes


Beauty Effect mode allows you to retouch minor blemishes in camera. An extended range of Picture Effects has been included, while popular mode Sweep Panorama is also included on both models.

The W830 features Optical SteadyShot technology to help keep blur from camera shake to a minimum, while Optical SteadyShot Active mode, used in conjunction with electronic image stabilisation should result in smooth video.

Party Mode, a new mode, is included on the W810. This automatically adjusts settings for shot in challenging light conditions.

Pricing and availability for the W810 and the W830 have yet to be confirmed.

"It's like a brain," said Guillaume Devauchelle, a Valeo vice president presenting the prototype system at the huge electronics expo.
"It acts step by step, with a certain latitude, to be able to adapt to the situation," Devauchelle said.
"If it is put in the same position for a second time, it won't react the same way."
The system does not require garages or parking lots to have special equipment, the executive said. It relies on the kinds of  sensors some cars already use, with some extra electronics.
Devauchelle said the system may require a camera to recognize and avoid spaces designated for the handicapped or unusual features in a garage.
He said the system was designed t

NASA's decade-old Mars rover, Opportunity, has found evidence that life-friendly fresh water once pooled on the red planet's surface, reinforcing similar discoveries made by newcomer Curiosity on the other side of the planet, scientists said on Thursday. Opportunity, along with its
now-defunct twin, Spirit, landed 10 years ago for concurrent 90-day missions to look for clues of the past existence of water. Both rovers did so, confirming evidence collected by orbiting spacecraft that Mars, the planet believed to be most like Earth in the solar system, was not always the cold, dry desert that appears today.
In August 2012, Curiosity, equipped with an onboard chemistry lab, arrived for follow-up investigations to determine if Mars had other ingredients essential for supporting life. The answer, returned very early in the ongoing mission, was a definite 'yes'.
On the other side of the planet, meanwhile, Opportunity has been analyzing water-bearing rocks at the rim of an ancient impact crater called Endeavour.
Rather than the chemical fingerprints of acidic, salty water found at previous sites, Opportunity discovered telltale clays called smectites that form in Ph-neutral water.
