Sony introduces the party cam for tomorrow
Sony has just announced the Party-Shot, a UFO-style base station that docks either the DSC-WX1 or DSC-TX1 camera…and then takes complete control. Using the facial recognition software in the camera, along with a 360 degree swivel and 24 degree tilt function, the camera will sit in search mode, snapping a photo each time it catches a composition of your party-goers faces. That’s AWESOME. Of course, Sony didn’t manage to add in that last little bit of functionality that would send this duo over top.
Luckily, where Sony dropped the ball, eye-fi is waiting to pick it up. Slap a wireless SD card in your new Sony cam and you’ve got a purpose-built party camera that will upload shots automatically as you take them, throughout the party. Talk about a match made in digital heaven!
