First it was the T1 (which is the one I have) and now Sony's next generation slim digicam is called the N1 and this one's a doozy.
The N1 features 8.1 megapixels, 3x ZEISS optical zoom with a 15x digital zoom packed all in a slim 22.7mm aluminum body. But the real knockout feature here is the giant size 3" touchscreen. Yup, you read right - TOUCHSCREEN. The screen functions like a menu allowing for playback, forward, reverse and general picture control all by tracing your finger across the screen.
The other big news is the new 16:9 aspect shooting mode allowing you to take true wide-screen images. This was a feature I loved from the Panasonic Lumix I reviewed awhile back and I'm glad to finally see this feature in a Sony product.
Amazon is currently taking pre-orders and it's $499.99. Somebody buy me one. :)
