Get ready to fall in
love all over again. Five years after the Cyber-shot Series first
hit the market, the new DSC-P200 is expected to capture the hearts
of consumers with unsurpassed grace, speed and style. Loaded with
7.2 megapixels, this compact point-and-shoot digital camera puts
spectacular photos in the palm of your hand.
More compact than its predecessor model,
the P200 camera slips comfortably into a shirt pocket or handbag.
The camera’s slimmed down design makes it even more convenient for
users to snap breathtaking photos anytime, anywhere. It will be
available next month for less than $400.
“Since the Cyber-shot P Series was
introduced, it has been one of our best selling camera families,”
said Hiroshi Takahashi, vice president for digital imaging
products at Sony Electronics. “The P200 will take this to greater
heights with its advanced features, lower pricing, and more
compact design.”
Blazingly Fast
The new P200 model is powered by Sony’s
own Real Imaging Processor? circuitry, which delivers extremely
fast start-up and shot-to-shot times, and puts extra speed and
muscle behind automatic features like auto focus and auto
exposure. You’ll never have to worry about missing a shot because
the camera is always at the ready.
The new model features a Carl Zeissฎ
Vario Tessarฎ 3X optical zoom lens and a generous 2- inch LCD
screen, making it easy for friends and family to gather round and
enjoy images the moment they are captured.
Small Package, Big Benefits
The camera is packed with features and
benefits typically found on more full-sized cameras. At just one
inch thin, it takes vibrant digital photos, capturing color and
detail not commonly found in such a compact camera.
With nine pre-set scene modes – such as
twilight, landscape, snow, beach and fireworks – you can quickly
select the best setting based on appropriate shooting conditions.
The P200 also has battery power to spare. With approximately 310
shots per charge of the InfoLithium? battery, the camera lets you
snap away without fear of running down the charge.
Great photos are just part of the
picture. The camera also captures and plays back high resolution
moving images. The MPEG-VX Fine mode allows you to record MPEG
video with 640x480 pixel resolution at 30 frames per second.
The new camera can also be used with
Sony’s Cyber-shot Station CSS-PHA camera accessory, available now
for about $80, for playing back slideshows on a TV or transferring
images to a PC while charging the camera's batteries. The bundled
infrared remote controller intelligently commands the docked
camera via the Cyber-shot Station to toggle between captured
videos and still pictures.
And when connected to a PictBridge?
-compatible printer such as Sony’s PictureStationฎ DPP-FP30
digital photo printer, printing a specific image is as easy as a
press of the remote controller's button.
The Cyber-shot P200 camera includes a
32MB Memory Stickฎ media card. It is also compatible with Memory
Stick PROฎ high-capacity media cards
