Sweep panorama of our canal: Camera used:DSC-HX1

Saw the XEL-1 at my local Sony Centre store recently-the A$7000 price isn't apealling (yet Sony Australia will still offer the XEL-1).

The styling around the lens sort of remonds me of the DSC-T70 (from 2007)

Coming to Austrsalia-here's advert from the Sony centre catalogue: Not on Sony.com.au yet, though.

It's officially listed and orderable in Australia: http://www.sony.com.au/product/nwz-s745

Saw it in a "Sony Centre" Australia ctalogue for $249-not on sony.com.au yet.

Not for the US E340 series it seems.

The MHC-GZR33Di (as called in Australia): http://www.sony.com.au/product/mhc-gzr33di Interestingly here in Australia, this was listed in the May 2009 Sony "PULSE" (Australian Sony catalogue), but not listed on sony.com.au until last month. Very beatiful looking Sony stereo by the way.

I believe it'll be released here in Australia (according to a PDF of the "PULSE" catalog)-although haven't seen it for sale yet (was supposed to be out this month). Noticed the packaging is getting smaller compared to previous models.

Australia for instance hasn't seen a new XBR model since the "xbr45". Europe model numbers will be something along the lines of V6500/W6500/S6500,etc.

S740 series is going to be out in Australia as well as Asia-according to Sony Australia's PULSE catalogue.

Yes-there is CMT-LX10/20/30i which have a iPod dock instead of a Walkman dock (in the CMT-V3) -available in the US, Europe and Australia: http://www.sonystyle.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?catalogId=10551&storeId=10151&langId=-1&productId=8198552921665825631

Now listed on Sony Australia-RRP here is $299: http://www.sony.com.au/product/icf-cl75ip

I think it's highly unlikely Sonicstage 4.3 will be yupdated for Windows 7 compatibility-but it may work unofficially.
