Sony Cybershot DSCW1 5MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Zoom
Sony updates the rangefinder-style camera for the digital age with the 5-megapixel Cyber-shot DSCW1. Built for photographers who want to capture images through a host of automatic features to help balance light and exposure, the DSCW1 also offers a bevy of manual controls. And once turned on, it focuses and shoots full-resolution images in a little over one-second intervals. The DSCW1 features a 3x optical zoom, Carl Zeiss optics, large 2.5-inch LCD
Optics and Resolution
The DSCW1 features a Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar zoom lens, which is specially
constructed for very compact cameras, and its design allows for quick
autofocusing. It has a 3x optical zoom and 2x digital zoom for a combined 6x
zoom. Best price at welectronics.com
The 1/1.8-inch Super HAD (Hole Accumulation Diode) CCD allows more light to pass
to each pixel, increasing sensitivity and reducing noise, and provides a
5.1-megapixel effective resolution (2592 x 1944). The Real Imaging Processor
offers greater clarity and picture quality as well as improved response time and
battery life and decreased shutter lag.
Movie Mode
Capture video with audio at 30 frames per second (fps) at VGA size 640 x 480;
the included 32 MB memory card will store 87 seconds of vide at this setting.
Movie length is only limited by the amount of storage you have on hand. The
Video Mail mode captures a smaller movie (160 x 112 pixels) that's more suitable
to sending to friends and family via e-mail.
Direct Printing
The Cyber-shot DSCW1 offers PictBridge functionality, which enables you to
transfer pictures from your digital camera to a compatible printer--such as the
Sony PictureStation DPP-EX50--without a PC or image-editing software. Images can
be viewed and selected for printing right on the camera's LCD, with menus for
print quantity, date, and index print.
Storage and Transfer
Images are stored on Memory Sticks, and the Cyber-shot DSCW1 is compatible with
Memory Stick Pro media--for storage up to 1 gigabyte. The included 32 MB Memory
Stick will store 12 Fine and 23 Standard 5.1-megapixel images. The DSCPW1
transfers images to PCs and Macs via a speedy USB 2.0 connection (which is
backward compatible with USB 1.1 ports).
Power and Size
The camera is powered by two rechargeable NiMH AA-sized batteries (2100 mAh).
The included adapter/charger provides power while you transfer images from the
camera to your PC. It measures 3.56 x 2.38 x 1.25 inches (W x H x D) and weighs
7 ounces without Memory Stick or batteries.
What's in the Box
This package contains the Sony DSCW1 digital camera, 32 MB Memory Stick, two
AA-size NiMH rechargeable batteries (NH-AA-DA), battery charger (BC-CS2), A/V
and USB cables, wrist strap, and CD-ROM with photo editing software.
Sony Photo Vault
The optional Sony Photo Vault mini CD burner eliminates worry about running out
of space on your Memory Stick when travelling. It burns images to mini CD-R's
without a PC interface--just connect your camera using a USB cable. The Photo
Vault also has a Memory Stick slot (compatible with Memory Stick Pro and Duo)
and features a built-in photo album capability to display photos on a television
screen using a television's standard AV input.
