The slim, compact DSC-W55 will feature a 7.2-megapixel image sensor and precision Carl Zeiss® Vario-Tessar lens. The camera combines a traditional, eye-level viewfinder with a large 2.5-inch LCD screen for easy framing and viewing of photos.
The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W55 also features a 3x optical zoom lens, blur-reduction technology (ISO), and substantial internal memory for shooting without a media card. The cameras' storage capacity can be expanded further with optional 8GB Memory Stick Duo™ or Memory Stick PRO Duo™ flash media cards.
Capture the Mood
High sensitivity is featured on the DSC-W55 to reduce the chances of taking blurry photos, especially in low light situations. With settings up to ISO1000, you can shoot at higher shutter speeds to capture the candles on a birthday cake or the city lights without using a flash.
Clear RAW™ Noise Reduction Technology
Sony's Clear RAW™ noise reduction technology helps reduce picture noise common to low-light exposures. Sony's AF Illuminator also facilitates these models' ability to shoot well in low light. A special light is thrown on subjects before taking a shot so that the camera's imager can better detect contrast. The end result is well-focused, clear pictures, even in low light.
Shoot At The Speed of Life
The Sony DSC-W55 features quick start-up, fast shot-to-shot times, and long battery life - up to 380 shots on a full charge of the W55?s Lithium ion battery. The cameras sophisticated auto-exposure and auto-focus features work fast so you get the picture right the first time.
No More Guesswork
The Sony DSC-W55 incorporates a function guide and resolution guide. When menu icons are selected, a simple text explanation is displayed on the LCD screen. This function guide is readily-accessible through a convenient mode dial. The resolution guide is helpful when deciding on the best resolution for prints. When you select the resolution in the menu, a pop-up screen provides the ideal print size for that particular setting.
