Sony has announced the Cyber-shot DSC-N1, an 8.1-megapixel ultracompact that will be the first Sony digital camera to include a touch screen. Sony is marketing the camera as one that's not just for shooting, but for sharing and showing. And though it doesn't include WiFi capabilities like recent cameras from Nikon and Kodak, it does look very easy to use, thanks to its PDA like interface.

About the size of a deck of playing cards, DSC-N1 is an 8-megapixel camera features 3X optical zoom and a whopping 3.0" LCD display thats rare for camera this size. Enabling new methods of interaction, users will be able to carry out functions such as selection the target of a spot autofocus by tapping the screen; navigating the menu of the camera; and controlling playback, forward and reverse functions by touching the screen. Also, the screen includes an anti-reflection layer for improved visibility outdoors.

The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-N1 digital camera will cost USD 500, and availability is slated for mid-November in US. No announcements have been made about its availability in Singapore.
