According to some new information sent our way, Sony is set to offer the black and silver 12 megapixel DSC-W190 Cyber-shot camera soon. We’re not 100% sure if this is a Japan only release yet, but it looks like it could go international. This is a budget oriented point and shoot that has a 2.7 inch TFT LCD and the usual features you’d find in this range. The DSC-W190 has 3x optical and 6x digital zoom, face detection, smile shutter, red-eye correction, exposure settings, and more. Unfortunately, the camera will be sold without a memory stick and is limited at 12MB of internal memory. The movie mode, a popular feature in any point and shoot camera is decent at QVGA (320 × 240, about 30fps).
Multiple image modes include: Auto / Smile Shutter / Program Auto / Scene Selection (Night Scene / Night Scene & Portrait / Landscape / Snow / Beach / Soft Snap / High Sensitivity. ISO settings range from Auto to 100/200/400/800/1600/3200. A USB 2.0 and AV Out are also included. We assume that this will probably cost less than $200USD at launch, and some Japanese retailers already have it listed for Y19,800.
Update: Akihabara News has more information. Looks like this baby will also be available in red, is hitting Europe in July, and is also available in a 10.1 megapixel version dubbed the DSC-W180.
