Digital Camera Review - Sony Cybershot DSC S600 - Photo Gallery, Specification

Friday, May 1, 2009




The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-S600 model offers features six-megapixel resolution and a precision Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar lens with a 3x optical wide-angle (31 – 93 mm) zoom, which is much wider than other cameras in its class, so everyone is sure to be in the shot. The camera fits comfortably in your hand and has a large, two-inch LCD screen for easy viewing and image sharing.    For only about $200, the S600 offers a combination of advanced features like sophisticated auto exposure and focus controls that work transparently behind the scenes for a seamless camera experience. Sony’s multi-pattern measuring function gauges incoming light by examining 49 points across the frame. With multi-point auto focus, the camera intelligently evaluates five different focus areas and selects the best focus setting for the subject instead of the background.    The high-light sensitivity (up to IS0 1000) allows for higher shutter speeds in low-light conditions and reducing the chance of blurred images. With higher sensitivity, you can shoot in available light for more natural exposure or in settings where flash is not permitted, such as museums. When you do need flash photography, this same sensitivity actually increases the camera’s flash effective range to 33 feet -- significantly greater than previous models in its class.    The ultra-portable S600 is ready to capture pictures whenever the moment strikes. Powered by Sony’s Real Imaging Processor circuit, this Cyber-shot model boasts a quick start-up, fast shot-to-shot times, and long battery life -- up to 460 shots per charge using rechargeable NiMH batteries. .
