Sony Party-shot IPT-DS1


Register Hardware reports: [edited]

The Japanese electronics giant’s Party-shot personal photographer – also known as the IPT-DS1 – is essentially a self-rotating camera dock that snaps pictures of its surroundings.

Simply dock your camera onto Party-shot and it will pan 360° and tilt 24°, automatically detecting faces, adjusting the image composition and, of course, taking photos of you when you’re least aware.

You’ll have to own a Sony compact camera in order to use the robotic docking station, which currently is only compatible with the WX1 and DSC-TX1 Cyber-shot cameras.

Party-shot can be mounted on almost any tripod, Sony stressed, so you’ll be able to enjoy lots of varied photographic heights and angles. The dock is powered by two AA batteries, which will keep it going for up to 11 hours.

Sony’s Party-shot dock will be available in September, priced around £88.
