Sony has announced a new entry-level addition to its compact portfolio.

The S730 offers a 1/2.5in Super HAD CCD sensor with a 7.2 megapixel resolution ? which is said to allow for prints up to A3 in size ? and is joined by a 3x optical zoom lens. The 2.4in LCD screen on the rear, meanwhile, features a 112k pixel resolution.

The camera also features a ?High Sensitivity? mode which boosts the ISO up to 1250, while a multi-point autofocus mode ?ensures pin-sharp images, even when your subject is moving or isn?t in the centre of the frame.?

The S730 will be available later this month, retailing at £99. For more details visit www.sony.co.uk
