Easy made easier.

This incredibly easy-to-use camera slips right in your pocket, ready to capture the moment at a moment's notice. Get close to faraway subjects with 8x optical zoom, then snap gorgeous 16.1MP photos or record beautifully-detailed HD video. Your pictures will come out crisp and clear thanks to Optical SteadyShot image stabilization. For even more fun, enhance your images with built-in creative effects like Toy Camera and Pop Color. Or try Beauty Effects to adjust skin tones, remove blemishes and even whiten teeth—it's perfect for portraits.

Pixel power.

With a 16.1MP Super HAD CCD image sensor, capture high-resolution images with superb contrast and clarity down to the finest detail. More pixels means you can enlarge, zoom in and crop your pictures without jeopardizing quality. And with 8x optical zoom, you can zero in on distant details for crisp, clear close-ups—perfect for travel photos and sporting events.

Say goodbye to blur.

Don't let a not-so-steady hand prevent you from capturing the moment. Optical SteadyShot image stabilization with Active Mode compensates for camera shake by countering camera movements in both horizontal and vertical directions. Get sharp, blur-free footage and photos in otherwise unsteady situations, like shooting video while walking.

HD movie magic.

Shoot and share HD movies with ease (records in 29-minute segments). In 720p MP4 movie mode, you can record 1280 x 720 HD movies at 30 fps for high-quality clips perfect for viewing and editing on your Mac® or PC, or uploading to sites like Facebook® and YouTube (internet-connected computer required).

Effortless effects.

Let your imagination run free with a variety of fascinating in-camera effects. Retouch images with professional results with Beauty Effects—enhance skin tone, remove shine and blemishes, whiten teeth and more. If you like retro photographs, you'll love Toy Camera—it gives your pictures a charming lo-fi feel. Transform ordinary photos into colorful works of art with Pop Color, or make your focal point pop with Partial Color effect. It's quick and easy to apply effects, and the results are simply stunning.

Everything is illuminated.

Ever taken a photo of a friend in a dimly-lit room, and had the entire background come out as one blacked-out blur? Frustrating, yes—not to mention less than frame-worthy. The Cyber-shot W730 solves this dilemma with an advanced flash that works harder to light up the entire scene, not just the subjects closest to the camera. It's perfect for large group shots, helping to ensure that everyone comes out light, bright and beautiful.

Easy enough for everyone.

No need for pro photography skills here—if you want, this camera will do the heavy lifting for you. Its super-smart iAuto mode detects the scene, lighting, even faces, then automatically adjusts settings to optimize the shot. Get gorgeous results every time, and forget about fumbling with buttons and menus. All you have to do is click away and collect the compliments.

Easy does it. This amazingly simple-to-use Sony Cyber-shot® DSC-W730 camera slips right in your pocket, ready at a moment's notice to capture lovely 16.1MP photos and beautifully-detailed HD videos1 as the fun unfolds. With 16.1 megapixels, you can create stunning high-resolution prints and enlargements. Your pics will come out crisp and clear—even when shooting with unsteady hands—thanks to Optical SteadyShot image stabilization which compensates for camera shake to cut down on blur. You can also enhance your images with built-in Beauty Effects to adjust skin tone, blot out blemishes and whiten teeth—it's perfect for eye-pleasing portraits.

16.1 Megapixel Plus 8x Zoom

A powerful 16.1 megapixel CCD image sensor helps you capture gorgeous images with superb contrast and clarity down to the finest detail. With 16.1 megapixels, you can create stunning, photo-quality prints up to A3+ (13x19”) size, or crop your images and still come away with high resolution shots. The 8x zoom Carl Zeiss® Vario Tessar lens helps you get much closer to your subjects.

Creative shooting with Picture and Beauty effects

Picture Effect adds a new level of expression to photos, making ordinary landscapes and portraits come to life by heightening mood and emphasizing certain attributes. Beauty Effects allows edits to skin tones, skin smoothing, shine removal, eye widening, and teeth whitening. Beauty Effects can be combined to further enhance the image.

Sweep Panorama™ mode (up to 360°)

Reach beyond the traditional wide angle lens, and capture more breathtaking shots with Sweep Panorama™ mode. Simply press the shutter button and sweep the camera in the desired direction and the camera continuously shoots at a high speed, then seamlessly stitches the images together with automatic position adjustment to create one stunning panoramic image. Available in wide and up to 360° full circle, the camera can take a variety of panoramic shots. Now capturing wide landscapes is as easy as press and sweep.

2.7” (230K dots) Clear Photo™ LCD display

Generous 2.7” (230K dots) Clear Photo™ LCD display features sharp, natural color that makes it easy to compose shots, read menus, and view photos, even in bright sunlight.

720p MP4 HD Movie Mode

In 720p MP4 movie mode the camera shoots 1280 x 720 high definition movies at 30 fps.¹ Create high quality movies with full use of optical zoom in files small enough to transfer to compatible PC or Mac® computer. Once transferred to your computer and connected to the internet, you can effortlessly upload your media to popular photo and video-sharing websites such as Photobucket® and YouTube™.

Intelligent Auto Mode

Unlike traditional auto mode, Intelligent Auto (iAuto) mode thinks for you, recognizing scenes, lighting conditions, faces, and adjusts settings resulting in clear images, faces with natural skin tone and less blur. Take advantage of all the technology without leaving Auto mode. Kids on the playground, landscape shots, a beautiful flower or an indoor birthday party; all result in clear images without leaving auto mode.

Smile Shutter™ technology

Smile Shutter™ technology captures a smile the moment it happens. Simply press the Smile Shutter™ button and the camera does the rest. You can also select adult and child priority and indicate the degree of Smile Detection sensitivity. Intelligent Scene Recognition can now be used together with Smile Shutter™ mode when the Intelligent Auto mode is on. This means that beautiful smiles can be captured with settings optimized for the particular scene, even in difficult conditions such as twilight and backlighting.

Optical SteadyShot™ image Stabilization with 2-way Active Mode

Sony's Active Mode image stabilization gives you the freedom to shoot movies even while walking or running. 2-way Active Mode corrects for both vertical and horizontal motion.

Advanced Flash illuminates distant subjects

Advanced Flash allows you to shoot bright, beautifully lit photos. The built in flash reaches farther resulting in brighter subjects in dimly lit rooms or outdoors in the evening.

Face Detection technology

Face Detection technology detects up to eight individual faces and adjusts focus, exposure, and white balance to help deliver crisp, properly lit images of family and friends.
