It’s no ordinary entry-level camera—and with incredible 7.2 megapixel resolution, 3X optical zoom lens, high ISO 1000 sensitivity for low-light shooting and Stamina® battery power for up to 460 shots1, the DSC-S650 Cyber-shot® digital camera is perfect for any occasion. A bright 2.0"2 LCD screen makes it easy to set up shots and check results. 24MB3 internal memory lets you shoot without a flash memory card or load optional Memory Stick Duo™ media in the built-in slot. Entry level just took a step up.

7.2 Megapixel 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 Super HAD™ (Hole Accumulated Diode) CCD design allows more light to pass to each pixel, increasing sensitivity and reducing noise.

3X Optical Zoom Lens
The 3X optical zoom helps bring distant subjects closer and lets you frame shots quickly for better composition—a real advantage for family sports, outdoor fun and travel photos.

High Sensitivity
With high sensitivity of ISO 1000, the DSC-S650 gives you better shots in low light so you can shoot without flash to preserve the mood—great for birthday parties, indoor gatherings and candid portraits.

Stamina® Battery Power
Capture up to 100 shots with the supplied AA alkaline batteries. Or, increase your shooting capacity to an amazing 460 shots3 with optional Sony NiMH rechargeable batteries (NH-AA-2DB).

24MB4 Internal Memory
You don’t need a flash memory card, because the DSC-S650 allows you to capture images with in-camera convenience. Then easily transfer your shots to optional Memory Stick Duo™ media, upload photos to your computer or make prints on your Picture Station™ digital printer.

Memory Stick Duo™ Media Convenience
The DSC-S650 also has a built-in slot for optional Memory Stick Duo™ media—the compact, high-capacity storage media that are compatible with millions of devices worldwide.

Bright 2.0"1 LCD Screen
The DSC-S650 provides a bright LCD screen composing shots, checking results, sharing your photos on location and reading camera setup menus even in full sunlight.

Convenient Photo Modes
To adjust quickly for specific shooting situations, the DSC-S650 lets you choose from several convenient photo modes: Auto, P-Auto, and Scene selections for twilight, twilight portrait, landscape, soft snap, snow, high sensitivity and beach environments.

QVGA Movie Mode
The DSC-S650 can capture 320 x 240 audio/video clips at high frame rate (up to 30 frames per second3), with length limited only by the capacity of your media.

Burst Mode
You can fire off three shots automatically at 1-second intervals in VGA standard mode or 1.5-second intervals in 7.2 MP mode.

Cyber-shot Viewer Software
The viewer software makes it easier to upload images from camera or Memory Stick Duo™ media, then organize and browse through photos on your PC screen by simply scrolling through thumbnail images.
