Sony Party-shot personal photographer-IPT-DS1 is an innovative camera dock that pans 360 degrees and tilts 24 degrees, automatically detects faces, adjusts composition and takes photos for you. The Sony Party-shot camera accessory uses the camera's BIONZ image processor with its Face Detection and Smile Shutter features to take photos without the user needing to snap the shutter button. Compatible with the DSC-WX1 and DSC-TX1 Cyber-shot digital cameras, the Party-shot camera accessory is mountable on nearly any tripod, so you can set it up in a convenient location in your home, especially when you are entertaining. With two AA batteries, the Party-shot camera accessory captures photos for up to 11 hours and is portable, so you can enjoy taking pictures outdoors. You can also use an AC adaptor (sold separately). Pre-orders for Sony Party-shot personal photographer IPT-DS1 will begin on August 6, 2009 and will be available for about $150 in September.
