The Powerful and affordable Sony Cybershot DSC-S600 digital camera is no ordinary entry-level camera. It has superb 6.0 megapixel performance, a Carl Zeiss 3x optical zoom lens with wide-angle shooting, and a high sensitivity mode with an equivalent of ISO 1000 and a strong flash. Furthermore, the 2.0" LCD screen and 32MB Internal Memory make the camera easy to use right out of the box. Altogether, The Sony Cybershot DSC-S600 puts everything you need in one compact, high-performance model that's perfect for first time or second-camera buyers, and it is a great value.
6.0 Megapixel Super HAD CCD
More megapixels mean more detail and definition in digital photos. Sony's advanced Super HAD (Hole Accumulated Diode) CCD design allows more light to pass to each pixel, increasing sensitivity and reducing noise.
Real Imaging Processor LSI
To capture the moment before it gets away, the DSC-S600 has Sony's Real Imaging Processor LSI (Large Scale Integrated) circuit that improves camera response time, decreases shutter lag, improves picture quality and clarity, and increase battery stamina.
Carl Zeiss Wide-Angle Lens
The DSC-S600 has a new Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar lens design with great wide-angle shooting capabilities, making it easier to take indoor photos and capture group shots without leaving people out of the picture.
3X Optical/2X Digital Zoom
The 3X Optical Zoom helps the DSC-S600 bring distant subjects closer and lets you frame shots for better composition; Sony's precision 2X Digital Zoom provides an additional 2X magnification to zoom in close without jagged edges.
13X Smart Zoom Feature
At VGA resolution, Sony's Smart Zoom feature lets you magnify your subject by intelligently cropping into the central portion of interest in your photo without sacrificing full CCD resolution - avoiding the jagged-edge image distortion of other digital zooms.
High Sensitivity
The DSC-S600 offers a high-sensitivity shooting mode (ISO 1000) for brighter pictures in low light, to help capture the mood and also shoot in locations where flash is prohibited.
MPEG Movie VX Fine Mode
The DSC-S600 can capture VGA (640 x 480) audio/video clips at a high frame rate of up to 30 frames per second, with the clip length limited only by the capacity of your media.
Strong Flash
With strong flash, you can light up subjects more effectively up to a distance of 33 feet - much farther than any previous Sony camera. That's a real advantage for portraits, group shots and candid photos of children or pets - because you don't have to stand so close to your subject.
Stamina Battery Performance
With standard AA alkaline batteries, the DSC-S600 can capture up to 160 shots - and when you use optional Sony NiMH rechargeable batteries, you can capture up to an amazing 440 shots. That's enough shooting capacity for an entire vacation.
Capture Images with Internal Memory or Memory Stick Duo Media
With 32MB Internal Memory, the DSC-S600 allows you to shoot without using a memory card - then easily transfer your images to Memory Stick Duo media, upload photos to your computer or make prints on your digital printer. Furthermore, the DSC-S600 has a built-in slot for optional Memory Stick Duo or higher capacity Memory Stick PRO Duo media that can expand your shooting capacity up to 2GB.
Large 2.0" LCD Screen
In addition to its optical viewfinder, the DSC-S600 gives you a big, bright 2.0" LCD screen for composing images, checking results and sharing your photos on location.
Cybershot Viewer Software
Sony's Cybershot Viewer Software makes it easy to import images via camera or Memory Stick media - then organize and browse through photos on your PC with simple scrolling through thumbnail images.
