Sony has added seven new, 14-megapixel cameras to the Cybershot W range, including the W390, W380, W370, W360, W350, W330 and W320 models, plus the 12-megapixel W310. These cameras are all based around 1/2.3-inch “Super HAD” CCD sensors but are fitted with different lenses and displays. Topping the range are the Sony Cyber-shot W390 and W380 models with a fast f2.4 Sony G lens offering 5x optical zoom and 24mm wide angle. These two cameras differ in the size of their LCD screen, which is 3” on the W390 and 2.7” on the W380. The Sony W370 boasts a 7x zoom lens spanning a focal range of 34-238mm in 35mm equivalency, but this lens is considerably slower and does not bear the prestigious G designation. The Cyber-shot W360 and W350 have 26-105mm equivalent Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar lenses and 3” / 2.7” rear-panel LCDs respectively. The W330 is a simpler but somewhat bigger version of the W360, with the same lens and screen but without optical image stabilisation. Likewise, the DSC-W320 has the same lens and display as the W350 but no stabilisation. The DSC-W310 is the only 12-megapixel model in the new W series, which comes oufitted with a 28-112mm equivalent lens. All of these cameras are supposed to take SD/SDHC cards as well as Memory Stick PRO Duos.
