For full-sized features in a pocket-sized design, nothing beats the Sony DSC-P100 Cyber-shot® digital camera.
Featuring a huge 1/1.8” Super HAD™ CCD, Sony’s innovative Real Imaging Processor, and a 3X optical zoom Carl Zeiss® Vario-Tessar® lens, the Sony DSC-P100 gives you all of the features you would expect from a full-sized 5 Megapixel digital camera in a pocket-sized design.

The DSC-P100 is also amazingly easy to use, thanks to its large 1.8-inch LCD monitor, 5 area multi-point auto focus and auto focus illuminator, and selectable focus mode. It even includes PictBridge™ compatibility for simple printing without the need of a personal computer.

1/1.8" 5.1 Megapixel Super HAD™ CCD
Super HAD (Hole Accumulation Diode) CCDs provide excellent image quality by allowing more light to pass to each pixel, increasing sensitivity and reducing noise.
3X Optical/2X Digital/6X Total Zoom
Optical zoom helps you fill the frame with your subject for better pictures. And Sony’s Precision Digital Zoom helps bring your subject closer with an extra 2X magnification
Live Histogram Display
Available in capture and playback, the Live Histogram Displays the concentration of pixels at each luminosity value, making it easy to evaluate correct exposure. Selectable Focus Mode
Monitoring AF (Auto Focus) helps you anticipate the action by focusing even before you press the shutter release.
Pre-Flash Metering
With a momentary pre-flash, the camera illuminates the subject and sets exposure through the lens for accurate flash metering. Adjustable flash level and red-eye reduction ensure great flash shots.
9 Shot Burst Mode
Capture up to 9 shots (fine) or 16 shots (standard) at 1.6 frame/sec. even at 5 MP resolution. Perfect for high speed subjects or fast moving action such as sports.
Multi-Burst Mode
Captures 16 320 x 240 frames as part of a single 1280 x 960 image which plays back sequentially in the camera. Selectable 1/7.5, 1/15, 1/30 second. Conversion Lens Compatible
With the optional VAD-PHB adaptor, you can add tele- or wide- conversion lenses for greater magnification or wider field of view, as well as protective and special effect filters.
Cyber-shot Station Compatible
Make transferring images and recharging the DSC-P100’s battery easier with the optional Cyber-shot station. Just place the camera on the cradle for instantaneous power and computer connections.
