Looking for a compact digital still camera that gives you the power to take great pictures under a variety of conditions? Put the power of Sony digital photography in the palm of your hand with the Cyber-shot® DSC-P72 digital still camera. The DSC-P72 gives you whopping 3.2 megapixel effective resolution, 3x optical zoom, 0 to 3.2x Smart Zoom (at VGA size) digital zoom, and the smart Sony features that let you take incredible pictures with point-and-shoot ease. You get intelligent flash technology, high-tech auto-focus and auto-exposure modes, and fun stuff, too, like MPEG movie modes, voice memo and e-mail modes, and 16-frame multi-burst animation. Plus, the DSC-P72 comes with a USB 2.0 interface and convenient rechargeable NiMH batteries with included charger.

Key Features:

  • 1/1.8" 3.2 Megapixel Effective Super HAD™ CCD
  • 3X Optical Zoom Lens
  • Up to 3.2X Smart Zoom (at VGA Size)
  • 3 Area Multi-Point Auto Focus
  • AF (Auto Focus) Illuminator

Features:

  • 1/1.8" 3.2 Megapixel Effective Super HAD™ CCD: Super HAD (Hole Accumulation Diode) CCD's provide excellent image quality by allowing more light to pass to each pixel, increasing sensitivity and reducing noise.
  • 3X Optical Zoom Lens: To help frame your shots for better digital pictures. Optical Zoom helps you bring distant subjects closer or pull back for wide shots.
  • Up to 3.2 Smart Zoom (at VGA size): Smart Zoom intelligently uses the full CCD to let you zoom into the portion of interest by cropping the image size—thus avoiding the image degradation of Digital Zooms.
  • 3 Area Multi-Point Auto Focus: Evaluating 3 separate focus areas of the frame, Multi-Point AF can intelligently focus on the subject and avoid undesired focus on the background.
  • AF (Auto Focus) Illuminator: Briefly illuminating the subject in low or no-light conditions, AF Illuminator helps establish a positive focus lock.
  • Multi-Pattern Measuring: Independently light-metering 49 points of the frame, Multi- Pattern Measuring establishes the optimum exposure, even in scenes where pronounced highlight and shadow areas exist in various portions of the frame.
  • Auto Daylight Synchro Fill-Flash: If the Multi-Pattern Measuring system determines the subject is backlit or in shadow, fill flash automatically engages to provide optimum exposure.
  • Memory Stick® Media: Digital. Powerful. Transportable.™ Memory Stick media is compact, portable and rugged — connecting a variety of hardware and software applications.
  • Scene Selection Mode: With 5 Scene Modes, camera parameters can be matched to the shooting conditions. Twilight, Twilight Portrait, Landscape, Snow and Beach presets make it easy to optimize difficult shooting environments.
  • Slow Shutter Noise Reduction: During long Twilight mode exposures, Slow Shutter NR captures the scene, and then the CCD noise pattern, with a dark frame exposure. By subtracting the two, even long exposures can be clear.
  • 14-Bit DXP A/D Conversion: Sony's 14-bit Digital Extended Processor captures the range between highlight and shadow with up to 16,384 values, for extended dynamic contrast and detail.
  • 1.5" LCD Monitor: Monitors the scene for accurate framing. 123K pixel and anti-glare coating help provide excellent viewing and image playback clarity, even outdoors.
  • True Zoom Optical Viewfinder: Provides accurate framing at eye level, great for added stability and following fast moving subjects.
  • Pre-Flash Metering: With a momentary pre-flash, the camera illuminates the subject and sets exposure through the lens for accurate flash metering. Adjustable flash level and redeye reduction ensure great flash shots.
  • QXGA (2048 x 1536) Image Size: With its high resolution CCD, the DSC-P32 records in 4 different image sizes, with selectable Fine or Standard JPEG compression.
  • Multi-Burst Mode: Captures 16 320x240 frames, as part of a single 1280x960 image which plays back sequentially in the camera. Selectable 1/7.5, 1/15, 1/30 second frame intervals provide convenient motion analysis.
  • MPEG Movie VX Mode: Captures VGA (640 x 480) high frame rate (16 frames per second) audio/video clips with length limited only by the capacity of the media. Video Mail mode captures smaller file sizes suitable for email.
  • Clip Motion Mode: Capture up to 10 images and convert them to an animated GIF with 2 fps playback. By varying the interval between shots you can create animations not possible with other motion capture modes.
  • Playback Zoom, Trim and Resize: During playback, magnify any portion of the image up to 5X and trim to the area of your interest. Then, save the new image as a new file in any of the image sizes available from the menu.
  • Rechargeable NiMH Batteries: Long-lasting power is provided by 2100 mAh rated Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) Stamina® batteries with BC-CS2 external charger. Or, choose "AA" Alkaline cells or optional AC adaptor.
