<div class='os_post_top_link'><a href='http://news.sel.sony.com/pressrelease/4794' target='_blank'>http://news.sel.sony.com/pressrelease/4794</a><br /><br /></div>"Sony, the market leader in consumer digital cameras, has blended the fun of a rotating lens with the speed and clarity of a five-megapixel Cyber-shot digital still camera in the new DSC-F88 model. The F88 camera's compact, all-metal body is fitted with an internal Carl Zeiss Vario Tessar 3X optical zoom lens that allows it to rotate 300 degrees, so you can see your pose in the camera's 1.8-inch LCD screen before snapping the picture, providing you with a flexible shooting style. Priced at about $450, the DSC-F88 digital camera will be available online at SonyStyle.com and at retailers nationwide in July.

I usually don't want to take pictures of myself, but I guess those who do, will love the ability to see the LCD screen while they take it. There is also an optional accessory, <a href="http://news.sel.sony.com/digitalimages/photo?photo_id=162104">Cyber-shot Station</a> for those who like to "dock" their cameras.
