Sony Electronics has announced the new Digital Photo Album, Sony HDMS-S1D. This compact device features an 80GB hard drive, connects to a high definition television via HDMI, and showcases up to 50,000 high resolution photos, for shutterbugs who want to archive, organize, and enjoy slideshows of their digital photos. It offers several methods for importing photos, including multiple flash memory card formats, CD, DVD, USB or Ethernet. Photos can be organized by date, special occasions such as birthdays and travel (using pre-selected icons), or into as many as 3,000 different photo albums? enough for every major family milestone. The digital photo album also provides the ability to review, edit, rotate, delete and arrange photos for a slideshow or digital scrapbooking with Sony’s x-Application® features. Photo collections can be managed with the supplied remote control and the device?s intuitive interface.

The HDMS-S1D Digital Photo Album uses Sony’s face detection technology to locate faces in photographs and adjusts the slideshow transitions around the location of faces. The x-ScrapBook? application uses face detection and event-clustering technology to make scrapbook-style layouts of photos with a common trait like photos of children, or pictures grouped by events such as a party or vacation.

It will be available in October for about $400 online at sonystyle.com
