Pre-order new compact Sony HX99 Travel Zoom (30X optical)

It looks like Sony may have potentially produced an interesting new compact travel-zoom [pending the usual reviews, samples, comparisons and such]. It is the new Cybershot HX99 with a 30x optical zoom (24-720mm eq) Vario-Sonnar T* lens, 4K video, 18mp Exmor R CMOS 1/2.3″ sensor, 10fps, Bionz X, and RAW [B&H has a detailed spec sheet under the “Specs” tab – see link below]! It is a small sensor but RAW is better than not having RAW for those who like to squeeze more out of their camera.

It is available for pre-ordering for $448 at Adorama and B&H Photo and Amazon itself with a early November 8 release estimate.

Tuesday: partial Woot-OFF

Woot is having a partial Woot-OFF with three of their sub-Woots participating. Of camera/tech interest is the Clearance Woot-OFF, that’s the artist formerly known as Sellout. The other two participating sub-Woots are Gourmet and Shirts, so a good opportunity to pick up some creative shirts, especially if you are a Prime member since you get free shipping on Shirts [they are fairly lightweight and can be rolled up to burrito size, so they are easy and cheap to ship; thus the free Prime shipping benefit]…

Meanwhile it is Ninja day at the Amazon Gold Box where a trio of their household appliances are on sale, headlined by the $100 Coffee Bar Auto-IQ. If you don’t like coffee, you can use it as a lighting set-up challenge 🙂
