Top Sony Cyber-shot DSC-S700 Camera Reviews
Imaging Resource reviewed the
Sony Cybershot DSC-S700 and said: "Unfortunately that above
average performance doesn't extend to image quality. Although I
found the color natural, chromatic aberration was disturbingly
noticeable in rather ordinary snapshots, and noise suppression
too often changed the character of simple objects, even at the
lowest ISO settings."
Sony Cyber-shot DSC-S700 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-S700 camera will also feature a 7.2-megapixel
imager, and will shine in classic silver. The model will house a
2.4-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.
On the W-series cameras, Sony's Clear RAW ™ noise reduction
technology helps reduce picture noise common to low-light
exposures. Sony’s AF Illuminator also facilitates these models’
ability to shoot well in low light. A special light is thrown on
subjects before taking a shot so that the camera’s imager can
better detect contrast. The end result is well-focused, clear
pictures, even in low light.
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 S700 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.
The S700 ships in March for about $180. 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.
