Sony Introduces New Touchscreen Digital Cameras

Since the iPhone launched everything is going touchscreen. Sony recently announced a pair of new digital cameras that use a touchscreen to navigate menus. The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T7200 retails for $400 and the DSC-T70 retails for $330.

The DSC-T70 has a 16:9 touchscreen that measures 3” and the touch sensitive nature of the screen allows you to navigate menus and adjust camera settings as well. The DSC-T200 has a 3.5” touchscreen.

The cool part of the touchscreen is that you use it to frame your shot, then you can touch where to focus and the cam takes care of the rest of the work. In addition to face detection, it also has smile detection. This trips the shutter as soon as the subject smiles, which is a great feature for parents trying to catch kids smiling.
