New digicams from Sony and Pentax

Sony today announced the 7-megapixel Cyber-Shot DSC-T10 digital camera. It's got a (pretty much standard these days) 2.5 inch LCD and 3x optical zoom lens. And with the increasingly common optical image stabilisation and high ISO (1000) as well. Comes in a choice of colours too - black, white, silver and pink!

Pentax announced the new Optio S7 last week as well. This also features a 7-megapixel sensor with a "Blur Reduction mode" high sensitivity setting - up to ISO 1600 (only at 4 mp though). Some new Face Recognition AF & AE for "photos of people with perfectly focused faces" has been thrown in for good measure along with a DivX Movie Mode and support for the latest SDHC memory card format.
