Product: Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T1
Price: HK$4,390
Pros: Possibly the smallest five-megapixel camera around
Cons: You cannot change the lens for another

Sony has just released its smallest five-megapixel camera to date - the Cyber-shot DSC-T1. 

The stainless steel camera is just 21mm thick. Sony is also rather proud of the camera's Carl Zeiss Vario Tessar lens and 3x optical zoom, which it says is the best lens in the industry. 
Well, it would, wouldn't it?
The lens offers 3x optical zoom, 6x precision digital zoom and something Sony calls smart zoom, which it claims can offer zoom ratios up to 12x - a highly ambitious boast for a soft zoom. 
It also supports five focus points in multipoint autofocus so you can focus on subjects whether they are centred in the frame or not. 
The camera's new Real Imaging Processor supports shooting four shots at a time in burst mode and shoots mpeg movies at 640x480 resolution at up to 30 frames per second.
Around the back of the unit, the 2.5-inch liquid crystal display is noticeably larger than that offered by compact camera rivals like Canon and Panasonic, and large enough to display 16 thumbnails at a time.
For storage, the T1 supports both Memory Stick Duo and Pro Duo.
The DSC-T1 will be on shop shelves next week. 
Buyers who order the camera online at www.sonystyle.com.hk will get a free carrying case and a training course on how to use a digital camera.
