Digital Camera Review - Sony Cybershot DSC U20 - Photo Gallery, Specification

Friday, May 1, 2009




Sony is blending their expertise in miniaturization, digital imaging and sophisticated design with a new class of ultra-small "Cyber-shot U" digital cameras. It began with the 1.3 megapixel DSC-U10 and continues with the 2.0 megapixel DSC-U20.    With the Cyber-shot "U" series, Sony has engineered a sub-miniature model without sacrificing image quality or functionality. The lightweight body design turns this into a camera that is light enough to hook to a belt loop, drape around the neck or carry in a pocket. Smaller than many cell phones, the DSC-U20 weighs a scant 4.3 ounces (with battery and media) and offers a host of built-in photographic features.    For more accurate exposure, the camera incorporates a built-in advanced pre-flash metering system. At the time of exposure, the flash automatically fires twice: once to illuminate the subject and calculate correct exposure, then a second time to record the image with the best exposure possible. In addition, the automatic center-weighted focusing system helps ensure accurate capture of any subject.      .
