Sony's New 2.1 Megapixel DSC-F55K CyberShot

Readers Niall Bruce and Don Wetzell both sent me a link to the Japan PC Watch site which shows the new Sony DSC-F55K CyberShot 2.1 Megapixel camera. From that page I found this page at Sony Japan that shows a larger picture of the new camera - large enough to read the words "Carl Zeiss" on the 37mm f/2.8 lens! According to the Sony news page the DSC-F55K will begin shipping in Japan on 4/1/99 and will use Sony's new 16MB MemoryStick module. It has a 1/2-inch CCD imager that yields 1600x1200, 1024x768 or 640x480 images, it captures 320x240 MPEG motion video and has a 2-inch color LCD display.

Just browsed over to Phil Askey's site and he has some exclusive pictures of the new Sony camera, check it out!
