Gotta love Sony: http://www.dpreview.com/news/0510/05100301sonydscn1.asp



It's a camera with a 3" wide-viewing-angle touch-screen LCD, that also acts as a photo album for 500 pictures. :)

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

I still kind of like viewfinders, they're handy for bright-light conditions.

Now that's the kind of display I've been waiting for.

Oh, and this caught my eye:
[q]Sony also mentioned that this is the first camera to feature 'Clear RAW NR' which hints that noise reduction is carried out on the RAW data before it is converted to JPEG.[/q]

Nifty. I however would like to see a shift away from JPEG in new cameras since the memory cards we use now mean we can use lossless compression methods more often without fear of running out of memory.

I also wouldn't object if they started supporting MPEG2 or 4 more often in these cameras video capture features.

Get that bloody LCD off the back of my camera, or at least have the decency to hide it and let me have a proper viewfinder.

It certainly meets my bill on the wole hidden screen thing. It still suffers from non-swappable lenses (35mm cameras MUST use a standard modular lens assembly, else they're not worth buying) and it suffers from the most abhorrent sin of all.

Its a Sony, with all the craptacular baggage that brings. (which is a shame, becuase they really do design a nice package).

Mind clarifying that statement with some particulars?

Yup, me too.  My family still hasn't advanced to the digital age yet.  And, even if they had, we'd just have a bunch of image files gathering virtual dust in a folder on a hard drive instead of a bunch of undeveloped rolls of film gathering dust in a drawer. :p

Amen.

(Actually my eyes are set on the more affordable D50, as the D70 is out of production and the D70s costs a lot more).

My friends used a lot fof 35 on holiday this year and it's been an absolute swine for digital compilation. If you ever want to actually produce anything like a virtual album, interactive DVD-ROM (such as what I'm doing for the holiday) then go digital now. You will thank me during image processing.

The D70 is a lovely machine.
