Sony also announced two more affordable cameras equipped with new 16 megapixel CMOS sensors and point and shoot operation. They also have more conventional looks than the fancy Cyber-shot TX200V. The only differences that separate the Cyber-shot WX50 and Cyber-shot WX70 are the touchscreen and more choice of camera body colors on the latter (and price tag of course)
