Sony has announced the 5 MP DSC-H1 Cyber-shot digital camera, featuring a 12x optical zoom and 2.5 inch LCD. The camera's focal length ranges from 36mm - 432mm (35mm equivalent). The camera uses Sony's Real Imaging Processor and has seven preset scene modes. The camera features a five-area, multipoint auto focus and manual exposure controls. This model has 32 MB of internal memory and a Memory Stick slot.
The camera is also compatible with optional telephoto or wide conversion lenses.
