Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-N1 Digital Camera Announced
SAN DIEGO, October 3, 2005. Sony is adding more enjoyment and value to your digital photography with its new full-featured compact digital camera with built-in photo sharing functions that go beyond just picture taking.
About the size of a deck of playing cards, the stylish Cyber-shot® DSC-N1 camera is a high-performance, 8-megapixel model, with a large, 3-inch, touch-screen LCD, which is rare for a compact camera of this size. The new model features a new album function that automatically stores up to 500 of your favorite images in VGA resolution, and uses them to create dynamic slide shows with music and transition effects right in the camera.
"Since the introduction of compact cameras with large LCDs, people have increasingly been using their cameras to not only capture moments, but also share and show them immediately on the LCD screens," said James Neal, director of digital imaging products at Sony Electronics.
With its 8-megapixel Super HAD™ CCD, its resolution is extraordinary for a compact camera. The Carl Zeiss Vario Tessar® lens lets you capture images with the utmost sharpness and clarity.
Sony's Real Imaging Processor® LSI provides excellent color accuracy and fast response times. Its advanced power management system delivers up to 270 shots per charge (actual battery life depends on usage conditions). With shutter lag minimized to just nine milliseconds, you won't miss life's most important moments.
Moreover, the new N1 model offers excellent ISO sensitivity, which is of particular importance when shooting in low-light conditions. You can capture faster action at night with less blur or, in certain conditions, avoid using a flash altogether.
With an optional Memory Stick PRO Duo™ media card, shooting high-quality video is a breeze. MPEG-VX fine mode allows you to record MPEG video with 640x480 pixel resolution at 30 frames per second, up to the capacity of a compatible media card.
The Cyber-shot N1 digital camera will be available in mid-November for about $500 online at SonyStyle.com, at Sony Style retail stores (www.sonystyle.com/retail), and at authorized dealers nationwide. Pre-orders begin online today at www.sony.com/n1.
