Rated 2.2 out of 5 stars
Enter the world of Cyber-shot® photography at an incredible value.

ADDITIONAL IMAGES:

7.2 Megapixel Super HAD™ CCD

More megapixels give you more detail and definition when you make big prints or crop in tight on your subject. The advanced Sony® Super HAD™ (Hole Accumulated Diode) CCD design allows more light to pass to each pixel, increasing sensitivity and reducing noise.

5-Point Auto Focus

A five-point auto focus evaluates your shot at 5 points on your screen -- so you’ll get great results even with off-center subjects that make interesting photo compositions.

QVGA Movie Mode

Capture 320 x 240 audio/video clips at high frame rate (up to 30 frames per second7). The maximum length of time you can shoot continuously is about 10 minutes.

Histogram

Histogram display gives you more control over your images with the ability to optimize exposure adjustments for better detail in both light and dark areas of a photo.

Direct Playback button

Direct Playback Button provides one-touch ability to review images while shooting, or quickly start up Playback Mode from power-off status.

2.4”1 LCD Display

The bright 2.4”1 LCD display makes it easy to compose shots, check results, share your photos, and read camera menus, even in full sunlight.

Convenient Photo Modes

To adjust quickly for specific shooting situations, you can choose from several convenient photo modes, including Auto, Program Auto, and Scene Selections such as Twilight, Twilight Portrait, Landscape, Soft Snap, Snow, High Sensitivity, and Beach environments.

Burst Mode

You can fire off up to 3 shots at Approx.1.2 second intervals at any resolution (VGA to full) -- a great way to capture a child’s first steps or a pet’s best tricks.(Approx. 0.8fps(3 shots))

Memory Stick Duo™ Media Convenience

A built-in slot accepts optional Memory Stick Duo™ media or Memory Stick PRO Duo™ media -- the compact, high-capacity storage media that make it easily to upload photos to your PC and are compatible with millions of devices worldwide.

3X Optical Zoom Lens

3X optical zoom brings distant subjects closer to help you capture sharp, detailed long shots and quickly frame images for better composition -- great for family sports, outdoor fun, and travel photos.

High Sensitivity (ISO 1250) Mode

For sharp, flash-free photos without blur, high sensitivity (ISO 1250) allows shooting at higher shutter speeds for better pictures in low-light conditions -- great for birthday parties, indoor gatherings, and candid portraits.

Smart Zoom® Feature5

The Sony Smart Zoom® feature5 intelligently “crops into” the central portion of interest in your photo, helping avoid the image degradation of other digital zooms.

22 MB2 Internal Memory

Even if you forget your flash memory card, you can get the shot because 22 MB2 internal memory lets you capture a limited number of shots with in-camera convenience, then easily transfer your shots to a PC or optional Memory Stick Duo™ media.

Picture Motion Browser Software

Supplied software makes it easier to upload, organize, and search photos on your PC. When shooting photos using your camera and an optional GPS unit, the software even provides a convenient map view function that lets you sort photos by location and display their origin on a world map.

keeps failing since I bought this camera I have had problems. First the lens would get stuck (lots of people have had the same problem). The lens is very sensitive to any grit, sand, etc. Now after owning the camera for a bit over a year, the flash won't work. Apparently lots of people have this problem too as I searched the internet for a solution. I remember when SONY made amazing products. A bit more expensive but always worth it. Now, not so sure. Definitely will never buy another SONY camera. July 12, 2011
BEST GIFT OF MY LIFE Years ago, I received my Sony digital camera as a gift. I have been very happy with it and find it one of the best and easiest to use. Thank you. October 14, 2010
Never Another Sony My 4th and last Sony. Just out of warranty and barely used the LCD display quit functioning. The flat rate for repairs - which doesn't even qualify since it's the display- is more than 50% the cost of a new camera. Move over Sony - Canon here I come! March 16, 2010
Decent Camera for Beginners this camera takes good pictures for what it's worth but the ammount of power it consumes and the slow load-up of a memory card are serious con's it also has trouble with moving objects. January 24, 2010
