Sony is continually pushes the envelope for pocket cameras with its Cyber-shot series, whether it be producing even thinner cameras, expanding the rear displays and integrating 3D. This new rumored development, however, would be something completely different.
According to gdgt and its unnamed sources, Sony is “quietly” developing a digital camera that sports built-in 3G for the purpose of uploading photos and videos to social networking sites such as Facebook, Flickr and YouTube.
Sony Cameras: Sony Announces New Entry-Level D-SLRs
Posted by claudioon Sunday, June 20, 2010 @ 08:31:11 EDT (2913 reads)
On Wednesday, Sony announced two new additions to the company's Alpha D-SLR line.
Both cameras will feature a 14.2-megapixel image sensor that is APS-C size (23.5 mm by 15.7mm). Since the image sensors use the cheaper CCD sensors, both cameras are priced under $600 (with lens), as opposed to more expensive D-SLRs which use CMOS sensors.
First up is the new Sony Alpha A290; based on the photos and specifications, it looks very similar to the $450 Sony Alpha A230, with a 2.7-inch LCD, 9 focus points, HDMI out, and storage via SDHC and USB memory sticks. The most noticeable difference is the bump from 10.2 to 14.2 megapixels. Like the A230, the A290 will include a 18-55mm lens but sell for $499.99. Sony will also continue to sell the A230.

Ok, I know that Apple didn’t even announce the 2010 iPhone, but it looks like the Cupertino company is thinking ahead and already has plans for its fifth-generation iPhone, which will presumably be launched in 2011.
Analyst Ashok Kumar is (again) claiming to have some inside info – he’s quoted by The Street as saying that Apple has chosen Sony as supplier of 8MP camera modules for the 2011 iPhone.
The iPhones available at the moment have camera modules from OmniVision – which should also supply 5MP cameras for the iPhone expected to be unveiled this summer.

Sony Alpha 3D SLR camera : Sony is bidding high with its innovative 3D technology. At first you might think that Sony is only focusing on 3D TV and peripheral equipment such as Blu-ray players and PlayStation3 multimedia devices. However, when we take a closer look at Sony’s plans, we can expect quite a bit of 3D technology for 2010. What to think about Sony Alpha 3D cameras? Yes indeed, Sony is going to make Alpha DSLR cameras apt for 3D technology! Sony sees the market divided into 3 segments: creative, distribution and display. The Display segment seems pretty transparent, think of Sony 3D television, but also of PlayStation3 and VAIO notebooks.

Sony has developed a movie camera capable of shooting 3D images with a single lens and plans to unveil it at next week's Ceatec show in Tokyo.
By utilizing a single lens the camera neatly solves one of the problems associated with current 3D photographic technique: the complicated set-up required for dual lenses. When using a camera with two lenses -- one for the right image and one for the left -- the lenses must be carefully aligned and synchronized so that the resulting images maintain the same degree of 3D perception when see by viewers.
Sony Cameras: Sony Pushes Memory Stick to Two Terabytes of Storage
Posted by claudioon Thursday, August 06, 2009 @ 22:45:14 EDT (2324 reads)
With the Secure Digital (SD) card format, we have a maximum capacity of 2GB. Then they bumped up that capacity by offering us the SDHC format and, in the near future, we’ll be looking at SDXC cards for even more storage. Not to be outdone, Sony is pushing its own memory card format too. You will soon have a Memory Stick with a full two terabytes of space.
Just as the SD people decided to go with SDXC to indicate its extra capacity, Sony has also christened its new format as the Memory Stick XC. Interestingly, the MS-XC actually uses some SDXC technology to go with its exFAT file system. You’ve got to find a way to stuff that much memory into such a smal stick, right?
