No sooner do we get one tradeshow out of the way than it’s time to start picking at the press releases for the next one! Coming soon is PMA, one of the two big photographic tradeshows that manufacturers traditionally use to announce products.

True to form, Sony have announced no fewer than 8 new Cybershot models for release at this year’s show.

The T900 (pictured) and T90 cameras are super slimline models with 12.1 MP sensors and 720P movie recording.

The W290 and W270 models are also 12.1MP cameras with 720p movie recording but offer a 5x zoom, starting at an effective 28mm (i.e. a decent wide angle, unusual for a compact)

The W230 drops the spec slightly to 4x zoom with 30mm wide angle and loses the 720p movie recording.

The H20 (left) fits in the “superzoom” category with 10.1MP and a Carl Zeiss 10x optical zoom lens.

Last but not least the entry level S980 and S930 are available in a range of colours and offer enhanced face detection.

All models offer Steadyshot image stabilisation and will be available at various dates from now to April, depending on the model.

More pictures and the full press release with detailed specs can be found on the Sony Press Centre.
