Sony's Cyber-Shot series of cameras is aiming to be both very affordable and simultaneously feature-laden in 2011. Enter the all-new W-series, which range in price from $110-$180. The entry-level Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-W510 features a 2.7" LCD viewing screen and 12.1-megapixel sensor running through a 26mm equivalent lens with a 4x optical zoom.

In addition, all of the new W-series cameras include Sweep Panorama Mode (which uses a CCD sensor to capture panoramas in one easy "press and sweep" motion), SteadyShot image stabilization (to reduce blur), iAuto mode (which automatically optimizes camera settings for your shooting locales), Face Detection, and Smile Shutter technologies. Built-in help is also available via the "In Camera Guide" software, which allows users to search by keyword and/or purpose to find help topics and ease functionality.

The Sony DSC-W510 features include:

• 12.1-megapixel
• Wide 26mm, 4x optical zoom lens
  
• SteadyShot image stabilization
  
• 2.7-inch LCD screen
  
• iAuto mode automatically optimizes camera settings
• Sweep Panorama mode

The Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-W510 camera will be available in silver, black, pink and red this February for around $110.
