Sony Cybershot DSC-S600 6MP Digital Camera

From the Manufacturer

Sony technology makes it easy for everyone to get great results in digital photography right from the start, with superb imaging, advanced optics, high-stamina battery power and exciting features that make shooting and sharing more fun than ever. The Sony DSC-S600 includes top-quality Carl Zeiss lens design and 32 MB internal memory for capturing images without using a memory card.

A Great Value in Digital Photography
The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-S600 puts everything you need in one compact, high-performance model that's perfect for entry-level or second-camera buyers. With super-sharp 6.0-megapixel resolution, you'll have more detail for large prints and viewing photos on websites or as e-mail attachments--and a big 2.0-inch LCD screen makes it easy to read menus, set up shots, and share results.

Snapshots with Superb Image Quality
The DSC-S600 has a top-quality Carl Zeiss 3x optical zoom lens that handles everything from distant subjects to closeups and wide-angle shots. High sensitivity gives you brighter photos in low-light conditions--and strong flash lights up your subject more effectively even up to 10 feet away. With Stamina battery performance, you'll get up to 440 shots using optional NiMH rechargeable batteries--enough for an entire vacation.

More Ways to Shoot and Share
With 32 MB internal memory, the DSC-S600 lets you capture shots in-camera for later transfer to computer or PictBridge-compatible printer. A built-in slot for optional Memory Stick DUO media gives you another way to store your images--and using supplied Cyber-shot Viewer software, you can import and organize photos for PC viewing and browsing with fast, smooth scrolling of thumbnail images.

Feature highlights include:

6.0-Megapixel Super HAD CCD
More megapixels mean more detail and definition in digital photos. Sony's advanced Super HAD (Hole Accumulated Diode) CCD design allows more light to pass to each pixel, increasing sensitivity and reducing noise.

Carl Zeiss Wide-Angle Lens
The DSC-S600 has a new Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar lens design with great wide-angle shooting capabilities, making it easier to take indoor photos and capture group shots without leaving people out of the picture.

3x Optical/2x Digital Zoom
3x optical zoom helps the DSC-S600 bring distant subjects closer and lets you frame shots for better composition; Sony's precision 2x digital zoom provides an additional 2x magnification to zoom in close without jagged edges.

High Sensitivity, Strong Flash
The DSC-S600 offers a high-sensitivity shooting mode (ISO 1000), for brighter pictures in low light. And with strong flash, you can light up subjects more effectively--a real advantage when shooting interior scenes and group shots.

Stamina Battery Performance
With standard AA alkaline batteries, the DSC-S600 can capture up to 160 shots--and when you use optional Sony NiMH rechargeable batteries, you can capture up to an amazing 440 shots. That's enough shooting capacity for an entire vacation.

Capture Images In-Camera
With 32 MB internal memory, the DSC-S600 allows you to shoot without using a memory card--then easily transfer your images to optional Memory Stick DUO media, upload photos to your computer or make prints on your digital printer.

Large 2.0-Inch LCD Screen
In addition to its optical viewfinder, the DSC-S600 gives you a big, bright screen for composing images, checking results and sharing your photos on location.

Cyber-shot Viewer Software
Sony's new software that makes it easy to import images via camera or Memory Stick media--then organize and browse through photos on your PC with simple scrolling through thumbnail images.

MPEG Movie VX Fine Mode
The DSC-S600 can capture VGA (640 x 480) audio-video clips at high frame rate (up to 30 frames per second), with length limited only by the capacity of your media.

Real Imaging Processor LSI
To capture the moment before it gets away, the DSC-S600 has Sony's Real Imaging Processor LSI (Large Scale Integrated) circuit that improves camera response time, decreases shutter lag, improves picture quality and clarity, and increase battery stamina.

13x Smart Zoom Feature
At VGA resolution, Sony's Smart Zoom feature lets you magnify your subject by intelligently cropping into the central portion of interest in your photo without sacrificing full CCD resolution--avoiding the jagged-edge image distortion of other digital zooms.

Memory Stick DUO Media Convenience
The DSC-S600 has a built-in slot for optional Memory Stick DUO or higher-capacity Memory Stick DUO PRO media that expands your shooting capacity up to 2 GB.
