I usually shoot pictures with a Nikon D80, but I still like to keep a nice, small point-and-shoot around for the times I don’t feel like hefting the behemoth D80 around. A thin point-and-shoot that can be slipped into a pocket or backpack is a welcome addition for most people who like to shoot with more advanced cameras typically.

Sony announced a pair of new cameras this week that are perfect for those looking for thing cameras. The DSC-T77 is very thin at under 5/8-inch thick — making it perfect to complement my DSLR. The T77 may be thin, but it still packs in lots of features including a large 3-inch touch sensitive LCD, Smile Shutter, face detection and ISO sensitivity up to ISO 3200.

I like to read, but the sorts of books I like don’t typically end up as eBooks that you can buy for readers like the Sony PRS-505. I am partial to action books and sci-fi and it always seems that only the mass appeal books end up in digital formats to me.

Sony has announced that its Reader Digital Book will become the first digital reader to support the new EPUB format starting next month. Sony’s PRS-505 will get the upgrade allowing it to read EPUB XML-based format becoming popular with some publishers.
