Sony Cybershot DSCW120/P 7.2MP Digital Camera with 4x Optical Zoom with Super Steady Shot (Pink)

Product Description Sony Cybershot DSCW120/P 7.2MP Digital Camera with 4x Optical Zoom with Super Steady Shot (Pink)From Sony

The 7.2-Megapixel Cyber-shot(R) W120 features innovative Smile Shutter technology, which photographs smiles as they happen. A Carl Zeiss 4x optical zoom lens provides high quality close-ups, while Sony's Double Anti-Blur solution gives you crisp, clear images. The advanced Sony Super HAD(TM) (Hole Accumulated Diode) CCD design allows more light to pass to each pixel, increasing sensitivity and reducing noise. Because an off-center subject can make your shot more interesting, a 9-point auto focus measures the focus at 9 precision points instead of 5 giving you greater creative freedom to compose your image. The large, bright 2.5" TFT LCD display makes it easy to compose shots, check results, and read menus in sharp natural color, even in bright sunlight. Face Detection technology automatically controls focus, exposure, color, and flash to help reveal faces in shadows, make skin tones look more natural, reduce red-eye, and eliminate harsh facial glare, so your photos bring out every expression on every face in every shot. Super SteadyShot(R) Image Stabilization compensates for shaky hands and minimizes blur with optical sensors that detect camera movement and send correcting signals to a stabilization lens. For great stills and movies, and simple use, the Sony DSC-W120 is a great, all-around camera.

Smile Shutter ModeSmile Shutter technology captures smiles the moment they happen - without the need to press the shutter. The mode can be set to capture when your subject laughs, smiles or even grins, and like Face Detection is able to differentiate children and adults to set priority. Sony Double Anti-Blur SolutionThe combination of Super SteadyShot optical image stabilization and high ISO sensitivity helps compensate for shaky hands, minimizes blur, and allow flash-free shooting to preserve the mood.

Customer Reviews Sony Cybershot DSCW120/P 7.2MP Digital Camera with 4x Optical Zoom with Super Steady Shot (Pink)From Sony

Great pocket camera Specifically wanted a camera that would 1) fit in my pocket 2)have image stabilization 3) could take pictures, movies in a darkened environment. Could not be happier with the Sony Cybershot DSCW120! My intent was to take the camera to a concert, and (hopefully) get pictures with the band. So, concealment (pocketsized) was an issue, as was blurring and dark environment. Pictures were a complete success. And the camera itself is extremely easy to use- point and shoot settings. So easy, even a lead singer can use it (to take my picture with the drummer). Another fun feature is the smile shutter. In this setting, a picture is automatically taken when a subject smiles. Video quality is great (again, mainly used in concert setting), and battery lasts a long time, and is easily recharged. I would completely recommend this camera.
Excellent!! I've had it for a little less than a year and it's the best camera i've had ... hands down! I've had HP cameras before and there's NO comparison Great pictures, fast and easy download to computer, great zoom, good video! You can even use it to transfer data from one computer to another (like a memory stick)...
Satisfied with camera As much as I'd like to be a talented photographer, I have collected cameras that are too much work to learn how to use and require more expertise than I'm willing to invest. This camera is easy to use, takes great pictures, is compact, and is a good buy!
