The DSC-P73 features all of the extras you would expect from a camera twice its price, such as 5 area multi-point auto focus, slow shutter noise reduction, manual exposure control and multi-pattern measuring. It even features PictBridge compatibility, so you can print directly from the camera without the need of a computer.

Images are outstanding thanks to the combination of a 4.1 Megapixel Super HAD CCD, 3X optical zoom lens, and Sony's Real Imaging Processor. Incredibly, all of these features come in a camera that is compact and easy to use.

1/2.7" 4.1 Megapixel Super HAD CCD

• Super HAD (Hole Accumulation Diode) CCDs provide excellent image quality by allowing more light to pass to each pixel, increasing sensitivity and reducing noise.


3X Optical / 2X Digital / 6X Total Zoom

• 3X Optical Zoom helps you frame your shots for better digital pictures. And Sony's Precision Digital Zoom provides an additional 2X magnification without the jagged edges of other designs, resulting in smoother images.


1.5" LCD Monitor

• The 1.5" 67K LCD Monitor makes framing shots and reviewing pictures easy.


Live Histogram Display

• Available in capture and playback, the Live Histogram Displays the concentration of pixels at each luminosity value making it easy to evaluate the correct exposure.


Selectable Focus Mode

• Monitoring AF (Auto Focus) helps you anticipate the action by focusing even before you press the shutter release.


Scene Selection Mode

• With 6 Scene Modes, parameters can be matched to the shooting conditions. Choose from one of the following: Twilight, Twilight Portrait, Landscape, Soft Snap, Candle, or Beach.


Pre-Flash Metering

• With a momentary pre-flash, the camera illuminates the subject and sets exposure through the lens for accurate flash metering. Adjustable flash level and red-eye reduction ensure great flash shots.


4 Shot Burst Mode

• Capture up to 4 shots (fine) or 7 shots (standard) at 1.7 frames/sec. even at 4 MP resolution. Perfect for high speed subjects or fast moving action such as sports.


Multi-Burst Mode

• Captures 16 320 x 240 frames as part of a single 1280 x 960 image which plays back sequentially in the camera. Selectable 1/7.5, 1/15, 1/30 second.


Conversion Lens Compatible

• With the optional VAD-PEB adaptor, you can add tele- or wide- conversion lenses for greater magnification or wider field of view, as well as protective and special effect filters.


Audio/Video Output

• Display images or MPEG movies with audio on a TV (with A/V input) for everyone to enjoy.


Rechargeable AA NiMH Batteries

• The high capacity 2100 mAh AA NiMH batteries provide reliable, long-lasting power for continuous shooting. The supplied BC-CS2 charger provides a convenient way to charge the batteries.
