Sony Cybershot S650 7.2MP With 7.2-megapixel imaging, high sensitivity, and up to 460-shot Stamina battery power, the Cyber-shot DSC-S650 is an ideal camera for starting out, stepping up, or making the switch from film to digital. Its 3x optical zoom lens, 24 MB internal memory capacity, and bright 2.0-inch LCD screen add up to a great combination of high-value features for first-time users–and its compact design and affordable price fit into any travel plans or budgets.
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.
A 3x optical zoom helps the DSC-S650 bring distant subjects closer and lets you frame shots quickly for better composition–a real advantage for family sports, outdoor fun, and travel photos.
Helpful consumer’s review
I bought this camera to take with me to Disney World. I have a digital SLR but didn’t want to use it on this trip as it is a little heavy for carrying all day – just wanted a small camera which would go in my pocket. I am certainly not disappointed with my purchase – I took over 400 photos and have only deleted 20 of them. The majority of the pictures were sharp with excellent color. I used the optical zoom quite a lot – and this worked really well. I disabled the digital zoom. All the pictures were taken at the highest quality so I could edit later if necessary. I took a lot of night shots of firework displays – some of the pics weren’t so great – but others were very good. I would certainly recommend this to anyone wanting a convenient, easy to use camera. The menu is easy to navigate and I found the batteries lasted a long time. It’s nice to be able to buy regular AA batteries to use as an emergency. I spent a lot of time in the evenings scrolling through all my pictures, so the batteries were really put to the test! I do like a viewfinder and this camera does not have one – but it really wasn’t a problem and even the shots I took when I couldn’t really compose the image worked well.
