Sony's range of six new Cyber-shot® digital still cameras (DSC-P32, DSC-P52, DSC-P72, DSC-P92, DSC-P8, and DSC-P10), announced today (Feb. 24, 2003), is a reflection of the consumer boom in digital photography.
The stylish and feature-rich DSC-P10 is more compact than its predecessor the DSC-P9, and will appeal to the design-conscious. This new model is also among the first Sony products to be compatible with Memory Stick PRO, which delivers up to 1GB storage capacity when the camera is equipped with an optional Memory Stick PRO media. The DSC-P10 contains a host of intuitive features that allow you to really personalize your shots and, if you are new to digital photography, this camera make high quality digital photography accessible to anyone who wants to capture good quality images of treasured moments. The new Sony DSC-P10 provides superb image quality that gives great shots and prints, even in large formats. The 5 Megapixel image resolution provided by the DSC-P10 gives outstanding quality pictures with an incredible level of detail. Five Megapixel resolution allows users to zoom and crop images to get just the shots they want, as well as increase the size of images to make large format prints. In addition, zoom without quality sacrifice is now a reality with the new Smart Zoom function, which intelligently adjusts the zoom ratio according to the image resolution and achieves zoom ratios of up to 12x. Aspiring filmmakers can get some practice as the camera allows movies to be made with sound. The MPEG Movie VX feature records video in VGA format, which can be viewed on a television screen and is four times better than the preceding HQX.
