I’m not sure how I missed this story yesterday, but Sony have announced no less than 9 new additions to its digital camera range. There are 6 new Cyber-shots, ranging from the DSC-P32 ($230), DSC-P52 ($280), DSC-P72 ($330), DSC-P92 ($500), the DSC-P8 ($400) and the DSC-P10 ($600). There are 2 new CD-based Mavica cameras, the MVC-CD350 ($500) and the MVC-CD500 ($700).

The most interesting new model is the Cyber-shot DSC-V1, which seems to be a direct replacement for the S85.

“Available in May for about $700, and barely larger than a deck and a half of cards, the Cyber-shot V1 camera will offer a 5-megapixel imager and a Carl Zeiss? Vario-Sonnar? lens with 4x optical zoom sharpness and color accuracy. It will also feature a hot shoe and accessory terminal. Plus, there are several Sony-only features, including a rechargeable Infolithium? battery system, with to-the-minute awareness of remaining battery life, along with Nightshot? and NightFraming features for taking crisp pictures in no or low-light conditions. “
