6.0 Megapixel Super HAD™ CCD

More megapixels give you more detail and definition when you make big prints or crop in tight on your subject. The Sony advanced Super HAD

® (Hole Accumulated Diode) CCD design allows more light to pass to each pixel, increasing sensitivity and reducing noise.

3X Optical/2X Digital Zoom

3X Optical Zoom helps the DSC-S500 bring distant subjects closer and lets you frame shots for better composition; the Sony precision 2X Digital Zoom provides an additional 2X magnification to zoom in close without jagged edges.

Capture Images In-Camera

With 25 MB Internal Memory, the DSC-S500 allows you to shoot without using a memory card -- then easily transfer your images to optional Memory Stick Duo™ media, upload photos to your computer or make prints on your digital printer.

Large 2.4

”2 LCD Screen

The DSC-S500 gives you a big, bright LCD screen for reading camera menus, composing shots, checking results and sharing your photos on location.

Convenient Photo Modes

To adjust quickly for specific shooting situations, the DSC-S500 lets you choose from several convenient photo modes: Auto, PAuto, and Scene Selections for Twilight, Twilight Portrait, Landscape, Soft Snap, Candle, and Beach environments.

QVGA Movie Mode

The DSC-S500 can capture 320 x 240 audio/video clips at high frame rate (up to 30 frames per second), with length limited only by the capacity of your media.

-- shooting capacity that’s about the equivalent of 10 rolls of 35mm film. With supplied AA alkaline batteries, the DSC-S500 can capture
