Just before the Photokina Trade Show in September, the upcoming follow-up model to the Sony Cyber-shot N1 has been exposed. Dubbed as DSC-N2, the new digital camera boasts of 3x Carl Zeiss Vario Tessar lens.

Aside from these, it also promises an increase in resolution as it now has 10.1MP. Its predecessor came only with 8MP. Its sensitivity is also upgraded as we see now an ISO of 1000. Not to mention its rather unique color, which can be mistaken for as silver when it's not, Cyber-shot N2 also comes with a three-inch touch screen.

Because of the leak, official announcements from Sony are now being expected to be given in the Cologne Exhibition Center, Germany as the digital photography show unfolds this September 26.

While not big with American audiences, soccer is the most widely-viewed sporting event in the world. The FIFA World Cup is aired in 213 countries and the 2002 games in Korea earned a total cumulative audience of 28.8 billion viewers. The stats for the ongoing games in Germany isn't in yet but we have a feeling these photographs by Steven Young will draw its share of fans. Originally featured in a Japanese magazine, the series of images shows soccer's more feminine side.  But don't pooh-pooh these women field warriors, they took off their kid gloves (and almost everything else) when they took on each other on the field.
