Sony QUALIA 016: 2 megapixels for $3900

And another QUALIA product from Sony: a miniature QUALIA 016 digital camera with the smallest AF lens. Sized 6.8x2.3x1.6cm, it weighs just 56.6g. According to the press release, this little one will go on sale this Spring for mere $3900. Well, we all know that sky-high price is a distinctive feature of all QUALIA solutions.

For optimal usage of body´s very limited area, the camera features a touchpad to control all its settings. Unlike other miniature cameras, for which makers provide software-interpolated resolution, this one utilizes a 2-megapixel CCD (1/2.7"). To provide image clearness, the camera divides shots into 4 parts that are joined together afterwards. Another interesting feature is automatic brightness correction in dim environments.

QUALIA 016 has aluminium body and scratchproof sapphire lens glass. Besides, it has 0.55" LCD, supports 4x digital zoom and naturally utilizes Memory Stick Duo for its TIFF/JPG shots. The bundle includes a flash, remote control, video-out unit, wide-angle lens, telephoto lens, viewfinder, 64MB Memory Stick Duo, lithium battery and charger.
