There’s 25MB of storage (around 500 images), which can be boosted via Memory Stick, a Slideshow function for playback of images with music, eight preset scene modes and five colour modes for different shooting conditions.
Powered by a Lithium Ion battery (good for around 300 shots), the N2 is available from October. Price to be confirmed.
