The elegant Sony Cybershot DSC-N2 Digital Camera is a ten-megapixel powerhouse with an extending Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar 3x optical zoom lens. Every time you snap a picture, the DSC-N2 will store a full-resolution image on the optional media card or in the camera's 25 MB of internal memory. Additionally, it automatically resizes that same image in VGA resolution and stores it in a portion of the camera's internal memory dedicated to pocket album. With its built-in photo album function the camera can be a photo diary in your pocket, loaded with up to 500 of your favorite images. No matter how many pictures are offloaded from the media card, you can choose to protect the images you want to keep and, over time, you have a collection of your favorite shots in the camera.

• 10.1 Megapixel Super HAD CCD

Over 10 million pixels provide incredible high-resolution detail and definition for making big prints and cropping in on your subject. Plus, the advanced Sony 1/1.7" Super HAD (Hole Accumulated Diode) CCD allows more light to pass to each pixel, increasing sensitivity and reducing noise.

• Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar Lens

With precision lens design and 3X Optical zoom, you can capture dramatic long-shots and frame images for better composition, and the precision Sony 2X Digital zoom function lets you enlarge image areas without jagged edges.

• High Sensitivity

Because flash can sometimes change the mood, the DSC-N2 features higher sensitivity (ISO 1600) for excellent low-light shots at higher shutter speed and for capturing images in museums or religious sites where flash may not be permitted.

• Wide Dynamic Range

Some compact digital cameras "wash out" color in brightly lit areas, but the Sony DSC-N2 controls the light level received by its CCD imager to reduce washout and improve color reproduction.

• Huge 3.0" Clear Photo LCD Plus Touch Screen

This huge screen makes it easier to read camera menus, compose shots and share results. The Sony Clear Photo LCD Plus Touch Screen design reduces reflection from the LCD surface for excellent visibility outdoors. While the wide-angle viewing lets you entertain a crowd with slide show and pocket album functions.

• Touch-Screen Operation

Convenient touch-screen operation of many camera functions replaces small, hard-to-read buttonsâ¿¿so it's easy to adjust camera setup and catch quick candid shots in the field.

• Slide Show with Music

The DSC-N2 lets you combine images in Slide Show sequence, adding any of 4 transition effects (simple, nostalgic, stylish or active) plus 4 kinds of background music -- or viewing your Slide Show without music.

• Pocket Album Function

You can store and share up to 500 photo images at VGA resolutionâ¿¿and manage your album photos using simple touchscreen images to select favorites, delete shots and search your photo archive by date or year.

• Free Spot AF

In addition to normal auto-focus mode, the DSC-N2 lets you focus on a subject by just touching it on your LCD screenâ¿¿a fast and simple way to adjust focus for complex scenes or moving subjects.

• Paint Function

You can stamp graphics and trace drawings or letters on your photos with the Paint function. Decorated images are saved as separate VGA-size files so your originals won't be affected

• 25MB Internal Memory

Capture images in-camera, without using a flash memory card, or use optional Memory Stick Duo media for ultra-compact, high-capacity shooting and recording.

• High-Quality Video Clips

In MPEG VX Fine Mode, the DSC-N2 captures VGA (640 x 480) audio/video clips at high frame rate of up to 30 frames per second with length limited only by the capacity of your media. Video Mail Mode lets you capture smaller file sizes suitable for e-mail.

• Stamina Battery Power

A high-stamina NP-BG1 Lithium Ion battery lets the DSC-N2 shoot up to 300 images, giving you plenty of power when traveling or shooting on location.

• Picture Motion Browser Software

Supplied software makes it easier to upload, organize and search photos on your PCâ¿¿and provides a convenient map view function to sort photos by location and display their origin on a world map by using an optional GPS unit.
