The best things in life are for free. The next best thing to that is immortalizing these things. Cherish this season’s heart-warming memories with Sony’s latest digital imaging line up.


The Sony RX100 has been dubbed as “the best pocket digital camera money can buy.” It features the world’s first 1.0 type CMOS sensor (13.2 x 8.8mm) with a resolution of 20.2 effective megapixels and F1.8 Carl Zeiss Vario-Sonnar T* 3.6x optical zoom lens. It’s the key to beautiful, detail-packed images and Full HD movie clips with very low noise.

If you prefer lighter cameras that do not sacrifice quality, check out the WX100—the world’s smallest and lightest camera in its class at 17.5mm thick, and it packs a 10x zoom lens and an 18.2 megapixel Exmor R CMOS sensor. It’s further enhanced by clear image zoom for up to 20x zoom without affecting the resolution, while delivering low noise and a quick autofocus every time you take a shot.

Thinking of going professional? Check out the Alpha 99 with translucent mirror technology and newly developed 24.3 effective megapixel full-frame Exmor CMOS sensor. It is the world’s first full-frame camera with Dual AF System with 19 sensors (including 11 cross sensors) + 102 AF point system (focal plane) and a new AF range control function to set the distance range recognized by the AF system.

Just want to be a semi-pro? There’s the SonyNEX-F3. Thanks to its 180° flip-up LCD screen, you can compose and capture beautiful self-portraits with absolute ease. What’s more, its 16.1 megapixels APS-C size sensor ensures pictures of the highest quality, so you can look picture-perfect always.
