Sony announces it`s new CyberShot digital camera, the DSC-H55. The new Sony CyberShot H55 offers superb optical performance in a compact, elegantly styled body that’s great for travel or everyday shooting. Assuring detailed, low-noise images, the 14.1 megapixel sensor is teamed with a high performance G Lens. Unique to Sony, this premium lens offers a powerful 10x optical zoom range to handle virtually any shooting situation - from wide angle landscapes and group shots to dramatic close-ups. The Sony H55 also offers enhanced Optical Steady-shot image stabilization with Active Mode that now offers up to 10x more shake correction while you’re shooting HD video.
