Top Sony Cyber-shot DSC-S650 Camera Reviews

Steve's Digicams reviewed the Sony Cybershot S650 and said: "Image quality is average for an entry-level 7-megapixel model, and very similar to what we saw on the S700. Our outdoor images were nice, showing good exposure and accurate colors. However, when viewing an image at 100%, you can see some traces of image noise, even at ISO 100, and many of our images seem a bit soft."

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-S650 News Release Summary:
SAN DIEGO, Jan. 17, 2007 — Sony is ringing in the New Year with four additions to its Cyber-shot® digital camera line: the DSC-W55, DSC-W35, DSC-S700 and DSC-S650 models.

The new DSC-S650 camera will also feature a 7.2-megapixel imager, and will shine in classic silver. The model will house a 2.0-inch LCD wrapped in a metal body.

All four new models feature 3x optical zoom capability, blur-reduction technologies (ISO), and substantial internal memory for shooting without a media card. Their storage capacities can be expanded further with optional 8GB Memory Stick Duo ™ or Memory Stick PRO Duo™ flash media cards for the W-series models and 4 GB Duo media cards for the S-series models.

“Now that digital cameras are personal items, it’s common to have more than one camera per household,” said Phil Lubell, director of marketing for digital cameras at Sony Electronics. “Our new models are solid performers that will be easy for novices to digital photography to use and at the same time meet the needs of more advanced users.”

Capture the Mood

High sensitivity is featured on all of the cameras to reduce the chances of taking blurry photos, especially in low light situations. With settings up to ISO1000, you can shoot at higher shutter speeds to capture the candles on a birthday cake or the city lights without using a flash.

Shoot At The Speed of Life

These new models feature quick start-up, fast shot-to-shot times, and long battery life – up to 460 shots on a full charge of the S650 models’ optional, rechargeable AA batteries. The cameras' sophisticated auto-exposure and auto-focus features work fast so you get the picture right the first time.

No More Guesswork

All models incorporate a function guide and resolution guide. When menu icons are selected, a simple text explanation is displayed on the LCD screen. This function guide is readily-accessible through a convenient mode dial. The resolution guide is helpful when deciding on the best resolution for prints. When you select the resolution in the menu, a pop-up screen provides the ideal print size for that particular setting.

In stores in February, the S650 will be available for about $150. Options will include batteries, travel chargers, lenses, filters, sports packs, and cases. All models can be purchased online at Sonystyle.com, at Sony Style® retail stores (www.sonystyle.com/retail), and at authorized dealers nationwide. Pre-orders begin on Jan. 23 at www.sonystyle.com/cameras2007.
