Sony boosts superzoom collection with DSC-HX200V, HX30V, HX20V, HX10V, H90 Cyber-shots
Sony unleashed a small handful of cameras before this month's CP+ Camera & Photo Imaging Show, but its spring 2012 line was far from complete. Today's announcements round out the collection, however, with a total of nine new models making their way through the Tokyo camera maker's news gate. Five of these point-and-shoots fit within the company's new H-Series, including the Cyber-shot DSC-HX200V, HX30V, HX20V, HX10V and H90. As you may have gathered, that H represents high-zoom -- this recent offering ranges from the H90 and HX10V, which sport 16x (24-384mm) optical zooms, to the HX200V, with a whopping 30x (27-810mm) lens. Filling in the gap, we have the HX20V and HX30V, both with 20x (25-500mm) optics.All of the cameras include 18.2-megapixel Exmor R CMOS sensors, with the exception of the lower-shelf H90, with its 16.1-megapixel CCD. That lower-end model also stands alone in the display department, with a 3-inch 460k-dot LCD, compared to the 3-inch 921k-dot screens on the other four models. All five cameras can capture HD video, with the H90 shooting at 720/30p, the HX10V offering 1080/60i and the HX20V, 30V and 200V capturing at 1080/60p. As you may have gathered, the H90 is the least expensive of the lot, and is also the only model to exclude GPS, selling for $250 when it hits stores next month. The HX10V and HX200V will also ship in March, with pricing set at $330 and $480, respectively, while the HX20V and 30V will be available in May for $400 and $420. As always, you'll find full details in the PR just past the break.

Pentax confirms Optio I-10, H90, and E90 budget-friendly shooters
With a couple of leaks to get our mouths watering, Pentax has at last confirmed its new trio of Optio cameras: the I-10 (pictured), H90, and E90. The SLR-inspired I-10 sports a 5x zoom, 12.1 megapixel sensor, 2.7-inch LCD and 720p / 30fps video capture. There's also optical image stabilization, smile capture, and face detection to round out the feature set -- not bad for a $300 camera. Meanwhile, the similarly classy, 80s-inspired H90 checks most of the same boxes (including HD video, 12.1 megapixel stills and 5x zoom) with a $180 pricetag -- we can only guess its sacrifices involve a downgraded lens, sensor or general sense of class. Finally, the E90 throws off all classic pretension and does up 10 megapixels, 3x zoom and a 2.7-inch LCD for a mere $100. No optical stabilization here, but the 6400 ISO and Digital Shake Reduction mode should help out a little bit. All three cameras ship next month. PR is after the break. %Gallery-83857%
Pentax Optio I-10, H90, and E-90 leak out in full
We caught a glimpse of some new Pentax cams yesterday, and now the new Optio I-10, E-10, and two-tone H90 have leaked out in full. We still don't kow a ton about them, but the higher-res images mean we know some basic specs: the I-10 cops an old-school vibe and features a 5x zoom on top of a 12.1 megapixel sensor, the H90 also has a 5x zoom, and the E90 looks to be a little more basic with a 3x zoom and a 10.1 megapixel sensor. So... let's get official with these soon, okay?
Pentax Optio H90 and Optio L10 cameras briefly leak out
Looks like the color-crazy engineers in the Pentax labs are brewing up some new goodies: these images of a new Optio H90 and new orange-topped Optio L10 were briefly up on a retailer site today, and Photorumors managed to retrieve the images from Google's cache. There's also an entry for a third Optio, but there was no associated image or info, so there's at least one surprise left in this world.
Hitachi expands Wooo H9000 and H90 series of TVs
Hitachi filled out their Wooo TV clan today with the introduction of 37, 32, and 26-inch LCDs and 37-inch plasma. Squeezing its way into the Wooo9000 series is the 37-inch W37L (pictured) offered with and without a built-in hard drive recorder. This LCD panel features a rather lackluster 1366 x 768 resolution for such a large screen with a 100:1 contrast ratio and 178-degree viewing angle. The W37L-HR9000 includes the built-in HDD recorder with 250GB disk, an electronic program guide for easy recording off the integrated hi-vision digital and analog tuners, and the ability to write shows to disc over compatible Firewire connected DVD writers. At the budget end of the Wooo family tree come the H90-series W32L and W26L LCDs and W37P plasma all with integrated digital/analog tuners. Both LCDs offer that same 1366 x 768 resolution which is more appropriate for these panel sizes while the 37-inch W37P chokes up a miserable 1024x1080 resolution. All the new panels feature 2 x HDMI, Japanese D4, Ethernet, and the usual suite of in/outs you'll need. Expect to pay ¥350,000 (about $3,040) for the W37L-HR9000 with HDD recorder (or ¥300,000/$2,606 without) down to about ¥200,000 (about $1,737) for that 26-incher. All these new panels should be available by September in Japan. Read -- W37L-H9000 Read -- H90 series
