Product description

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W80 7.2-Megapixel Digital Camera - Silver

Features

Untitled Document

7.2-megapixel Super HAD™ CCD: Enjoy greater detail when you make large prints and post photos on the Internet. The advanced CCD design allows more light to pass to each pixel, increasing sensitivity and reducing noise.

2.5" LCD screen: The DSC-W80 has a bright 2.5" LCD screen for setting up and viewing images. An optical viewfinder allows shooting in traditional rangefinder camera style.

Easy to use: User-friendly controls and simple on-screen Function Guide text/icon display help you set up camera functions.

Zoom: Get close to the action with the Carl Zeiss® 3x optical zoom lens. The precision 2x digital zoom lets you zoom in further without creating jagged edges.

14x Smart Zoom™: Intelligently zoom and crop into the central portion of interest in your photo, avoiding the image degradation of other digital zooms.

Double anti-blur solution: With Super SteadyShot® optical image stabilization and high sensitivity (ISO 3200), the DSC-W80 compensates for shaky hands, minimizes blur, brightens images and allows flash-free shooting to preserve the mood. And, the Clear RAW™ Noise Reduction will take care of the picture noise that can ruin low-light shots.

Face Detection: By automatically controlling focus, exposure, color and flash, this advanced feature reveals faces in shadow, makes skin tones look more natural and eliminates harsh facial glare. It helps bring out every expression on every face in every shot, so you'll capture the personalities and emotions that make memories come alive.

9-Point auto focus: Because an off-center subject can make your shot more interesting, the DSC-W80 can measure auto-focus precision at 9 points on your screen, giving you greater creative freedom to compose your image.

Memory: With 31MB of internal memory you can shoot without a flash memory card and then transfer your images to optional Memory Stick™ Duo media. Get the most out of your camera by adding 1GB or larger Memory Stick Duo™ or Memory Stick PRO Duo™ media. How much memory do you need? Click here to find out.

Capture MPEG movies: Take home movies with 640 x 480 VGA resolution at up to 30 frames per second. Go ahead and shoot away—the length of your audio/video clips is limited only by the capacity of your media card.

In-camera retouching: Add creative effects to photos after you shoot. Included effects are soft edge filter to soften backgrounds, cross filter to place starry "dazzles" at highlight points, partial color filter to mute surrounding colors and fish-eye filter to create interesting results. You can also reduce irritating red eyes that can ruin even the most creative photos at the touch of a button.

9-Point auto focus: Because an off-center subject can make your shot more interesting, the DSC-W90 can measure auto-focus precision at 9 points on your screen, giving you greater creative freedom to compose your image.

HD output: Present your pictures with direct HD (high-definition) output to compatible HDTV screens so you can view DSC-W80 still photos in spectacular HD clarity and detail. Plus, watch your photos come alive on compatible HDTV screens, accompanied by your choice of visual effects and any of four preset musical selections stored in memory or your favorite MP3 tunes downloaded from PC to your camera for use as background music.

Stamina® battery power: With its powerful lithium ion rechargeable battery, the DSC-W80 can capture up to 340 images—enough for a week of shooting. A compact battery charger is also supplied for battery recharging on the go.

Manufacturer's description

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W80 7.2-Megapixel Digital Camera - Silver

7.2 MP Super HAD™ CCD

More megapixels give you more detail and definition when you make big prints or crop in tight on your subject. The advanced Sony® Super HAD™ (Hole Accumulated Diode) CCD design allows more light to pass to each pixel, increasing sensitivity and reducing noise.

Carl Zeiss® 3X Optical Zoom Lens Design

A top-quality Carl Zeiss® 3X Optical zoom lens design helps the DSC-W80 bring distant subjects closer and lets you frame shots quickly for better composition -- a real advantage for family sports, outdoor fun and travel photos.

Face Detection

By automatically controlling focus, exposure, color and flash, this new Sony feature reveals faces in shadow, makes skin tones look more natural and eliminates harsh facial glare -- to help bring out every expression on every face in every shot, so you’ll capture the personalities and emotions that make memories come alive.

The Sony Double Anti-Blur Solution

With Super SteadyShot® Image Stabilization and high sensitivity (ISO 3200), the DSC-W80 compensates for shaky hands, minimizes blur, brightens images and allows flash-free shooting to preserve the mood -- with Sony Clear RAW™ Noise Reduction to take care of the picture noise that can ruin low-light shots.

HD Output

Thanks to Sony, your photo album can go high-def -- with direct HD output to your HDTV screen, so you can view DSC-W80 still photos in spectacular high definition clarity and detail. Your life never looked so exciting!

HD Slide Show with Music

It’s the high-definition viewing experience that makes photos come alive on HDTV screens, accompanied by your choice of visual effects and any of four preset musical selections stored in memory or your favorite MP3 tunes downloaded from PC to your camera for use as background music.

9-Point Auto Focus

Because an off-center subject can make your shot more interesting, the DSC-W80 can measure auto-focus precision at 9 points on your screen -- giving you greater creative freedom to compose your image.

D-Range Optimization

Powered by the exclusive Sony Bionz® high-speed processing engine, D-Range Optimization preserves image data in bright highlights and reveals more detail in shadows or backlit areas -- for great results even in difficult lighting conditions.

In-Camera Retouching

The DSC-W80 lets you add creative effects to photos after you shoot -- including soft edge filter to soften backgrounds, cross filter to place starry “dazzles” at highlight points, partial color filter to mute surrounding colors, even fish-eye filter to create interesting fish-eye lens effects.

In-Camera Red-Eye Reduction

“Glowing eyes” can ruin even the most creative photos -- so the DSC-W80 provides in-camera correction at the touch of a button to reduce lingering red-eye effect that other systems might miss.

Large 2.5” LCD Screen

The DSC-W80 provides a large, bright LCD screen for composing shots, checking results, sharing your photos on location -- and an optical viewfinder allows shooting in traditional rangefinder camera style.

Simple Setup Controls

A quick press of the Home button opens your user-friendly GUI -- and you can select functions by simply moving a cursor vertically or horizontally to the appropriate icon. Function names and the on-screen Function Guide display make it easier to learn camera setup operations.

31 MB Internal Memory

The DSC-W80 allows you to capture a large number of images without a flash memory card, so it’s great for traveling or for quick candid snapshots.

Memory Stick Duo™ Media Convenience

A built-in slot accepts optional Memory Stick Duo™ media or Memory Stick PRO Duo™ media -- the compact, high-capacity storage media that make it easily to upload photos to your computer or make lab-quality prints at home on your Sony Picture Station™ digital printer (sold separately).

14X Smart Zoom® Feature

The Sony Smart Zoom® feature intelligently “crops into” the central portion of interest in your photo, avoiding the image degradation of other digital zooms.

MPEG Movie VX Fine Mode

Captures 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.

Stamina® Battery Power

The DSC-W80 provides up to 340 shots with a fully charged NP-BG1 Lithium Ion battery -- enough shooting capacity to cover a long weekend or a whole vacation.

Great camera for a novice.
Reviewer: Cesar from Dallas, TX on Apr 19, 2007

This is our 3rd digital camera and so far we really like it alot! With the battery, this camera is so lightweight that you can hold, point and shoot for hours. Many of the different settings for pictures are explained on the screen when you turn the dial which is a plus since we had to decipher the manual for what the symbols meant on on our other camera. The mpeg capture is very nice and the microphone captures sound from great distance. It seems the more we zoomed and the greater the distance of thempeg capture, the more grainy the picture. But overall, its a very good camera for people who want to point and shoot.

I use this camera when I travel instead of my bulky Nikon SLRs (35mm and digital).It fits in my pocket. The pictures are so good and the battery lasts for the entire vacation. I just bought a 2nd Sony DSC-W80 for my niece in Korea.

I don't even know what to say.
Reviewer: karen from New York, NY on Apr 2, 2008

This camera is ok I would say, the problem with it ,is that more than often the pictures comes out blurry. Also pictures comes out with great colors when taken out doors (which happens to be one of my favorites features), however, when taken indoors, withlittle or no lights, it doesn't look so good.The camera is kind of good for the price (I bought mine on May last year and paid $ 249.99) Other of my favorites feature is the video option which is great for a digital camera, you can download it to your myspace or hi5 and it comes out very nice. The battery life is great, but the zooming no to good.
