Japanese consumer electronics giant Sony has unveiled two touchscreen cybershot cameras. It also launched a high-end camera for amateurs.

The T70 and T200 come embedded with an 8-megapixel sensor as well as the completely touch-driven interface of the premium G1 that controls everything from camera settings to drawing over existing photos.

The best thing about the camera is that it detects the face of the target and doesn’t shoot unless the targeted person is smiling. Each of the widescreen cameras can themselves output a widescreen image to an HDTV through either a component AV cable or Sony's Cyber-shot Station dock.

The T70 comes with a 3X zoom lens, a 3-inch touchscreen, and black, pink, silver, and white colour options. While the T200 increases zoom to 5X, adds a larger 3.5-inch LCD, and comes in black, red, or silver.

Another camera that the firm launched is called as H3 and is the lowest priced high zoom camera from Sony so far. The camera is capable of 10X zoom with actual optical image stabilisation, the 8-megapixel device borrows the HD output of the new T-series but replaces Smile Shutter with Sony's advanced sports mode that forces high shutter speed and continuous autofocusing.
