Digital Cameras and Printers Fall 2005
Digital
from the ground up.
Whether you’re taking your first steps into digital
photography or you’re an experienced shooter, Sony
anticipates your needs and exceeds your expectations.
With Sony Cyber-shot®cameras, you’ll enjoy flawless
imaging and exciting new ways to share your pictures
any time, anywhere. You’ll experience intuitive handling
with split-second response. And you’ll discover designs
so compact and slender, you can take them wherever
you go.
Sony innovation in digital cameras is no accident.
It comes from a mastery of all things digital, from the
sensors that capture your picture to the processor that
manages it to the media that stores it to the batteries
that power the entire system. And because Sony is not
limited by a film camera mentality, we’re free to create
digital cameras that change the way you see the world.
So if you’re researching digital cameras, we’ve put
everything you need to know into a single word. Sony.
The Bigger The Imager, The Better The Image
Sony’s DSC-R1 incorporates a professional-grade APS-C class image sensor.
At 21.5 x 14.4 mm it’s literally twelve times the area of a typical sensor! So you get
superb sensitivity, reduced image noise and an amazing 10.3 megapixels of resolution.
Other cameras with APS-C class sensors must depend on an optical viewfinder for
framing. Thanks to Sony CMOS technology, the R1 is the world’s first APS-C class sensor
with the immediacy and accuracy of a Live Preview of the scene. You can see Live
Preview on either the LCD monitor or using the through-the-lens electronic viewfinder.
Take In The Wider View
Because the DSC-R1 needs no optical viewfinder, it also doesn’t need the bulky mirror
and pentaprism such viewfinders can require. As a result, Sony is free to integrate a
more compact lens that can capture a tremendous range in field of view. The Carl
Zeiss
®
Vario-Sonnar®5x zoom lens extends from an ultra-wide 24 mm all the way
to 120 mm (35mm equivalent). So you can get scenic and group photos beyond the
reach of most APS-class camera/lens combinations.
The Legendary Lenses Of Carl Zeiss
Carl Zeiss®lenses are prized by professional photographers for their superior sharpness,
crisp contrast and gorgeous color. Sony Cyber-shot
®
cameras incorporate renowned
Vario-Tessar
®
and Vario-Sonnar®lens designs that are optimized for the specific
demands of digital shooting.
Shoot At The Speed Of Life
Life moves fast. If you’re not on your toes, the most memorable moments can pass
you by.That’s why every Sony camera incorporates the Real Imaging Processor
™
LSI.
That’s how Sony cameras typically start in less than one second.And shutter lag is
typically 0.009 second! (Times vary by camera.)
The APS-C class image
sensor of the DSC-R1
has a whopping 12 times
the area of the typical
1/2.5" sensor.
At 24 mm, the wide end of
the DSC-R1 lens enables you
to get dramatic scenic shots
and landscapes beyond the
reach of the typical 28 mm
wide end of an APS-class
camera/lens combination
(inset frame). Focal lengths
are 35mm equivalent. Sample
photo for illustration purposes.
Super Zoom
Perfect for sports photography, the 12x zoom lens of the DSC-H1 has the power to bring
distant subjects up close. Then you can pull back wide for impressive landscapes and
group photos.
The Stability You Seek
Sony understands that 12x zoom can magnify the effect of camera shake,
blurring pictures at all but the highest shutter speeds. That’s why the DSC-H1
also incorporates Sony’s powerful Super SteadyShot
®
optical image stabilization.
You get clearer pictures under demanding conditions: telephoto and longerduration low-light exposures.
The Great Big Screen
A digital camera’s LCD monitor is your window on the world. Sony incorporates big
2.0", 2.5" and even 3.0" LCD screens! Bigger on-screen displays make it easier to
shoot. And larger screens make it more gratifying to share your pictures with the
whole gang.
Lights! Camera! MPEG Movies!
Because life doesn’t always stand still, most every Cyber-shot®camera can also shoot
high-resolution movies with sound. In selected movie modes, the recording time is
limited only by the capacity of the media. You can even capture about 2 GB of video
in a single take!
The 12x zoom of the
DSC-H1 brings you
closer to the action.
The giant 3-inch LCD
monitor of our DSC-N1
is the perfect way to
share your pictures.
Wide 3x
7x 12x
4x
Simultaneous Movie and Still
If you can’t choose between movies and stills, shoot both at the same time! Hybrid
Recording on the DSC-M1 captures five seconds of video from BEFORE you press
the shutter, a still picture, plus three seconds after!
You Can’t Be Too Thin
While bulky cameras tend to stay on the shelf, Sony cameras are so small, light and
thin, you’ll want to take them everywhere you go. So they’re always ready for those
priceless, spur-of-the-moment shots. Our DSC-P200 is just one inch thin – and our
incredible T5 and T7 are even thinner!
Hundreds Of Pictures In Your Pocket
Want to show pictures of the kids? Want to watch co-workers drool over your vacation
photos? Sony’s DSC-N1 can store and share your pictures as never before. Our
pocket album function holds hundreds of VGA-size images, conveniently organized
by date. The slide show function lets you display your pictures with your own selection
of MP3 background music and transition effects!
Keep On Clicking
Digital cameras are notorious for “eating” batteries.That’s why Sony responds with the
extra longevity of NiMH and InfoLithium
®
batteries. That’s why Sony designed our Real
Imaging Processor
™
LSI to save power.And that’s how Sony Stamina™series cameras
get hundreds more shots before you need to recharge batteries! Sony keeps you clicking
long after other cameras have quit.
Easy Does It
The better you understand a camera’s controls, the better your pictures will be.When
you pick up a Sony camera, the shutter button is always where your right index finger
will be. Sony designed exceptionally large, clear menus for our LCD monitors.And
every operating mode is easy.
As You Like It
No matter what type of photographer you are, chances are there’s a Sony Cyber-shot
®
camera that’s exactly right for you. Family types enjoy shooting and sharing with the
DSC-N1. First-timers appreciate the easy operation of our S40. Style sophisticates
love our sleek T7, T5 and P200. And serious shooters go for the sheer performance
