The DSC-W7 digital camera combines the some of the most desirable characteristics of a fully featured camera in a compact metal-alloy body wrapped around an impressive, 2.5-inch LCD. Powered by Sony's Real Imaging Processor circuitry, this camera delivers extraordinary performance, including lightning-fast camera response times and extended battery life with approximately 380 shots between power charges. This model comes with a full 32 megabytes of internal memory (30 megabytes available). As a result, it is bringing new meaning to the term "worry-free" digital photography. Even if you forget to bring a memory card, or your Memory Stick media card runs out of capacity, you can still take great pictures thanks to the camera's built-in memory. The camera sports a Carl Zeiss Vario Tessar 3X optical zoom lens that fully extends in about a second, as well as large 2.5-inch color LCD screen for optimal picture taking and viewing.

Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-W7 Digital Camera Features
1/1.8" 7.2 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.
0 – 14.0X Smart Zoom™ Feature (at VGA Resolution) The Smart Zoom feature intelligently uses the full CCD to let you zoom into the portion of interest by cropping the image size – thus avoiding the image degradation of Digital Zooms.
Carl Zeiss® Vario-Tessar® Lens The Vario-Tessar lens is specially produced for very compact cameras. This specialized design allows quick auto-focus, appealing zoom range while still maintaining a compact design.
Real Imaging Processor™ Technology The innovative Real Imaging Processor in the DSC-W7 not only improves picture quality and clarity but also improves camera response time, decreases shutter lag and improves battery stamina.
2.5" LCD Monitor The extra-large high-resolution 115K LCD Monitor makes framing shots and reviewing pictures easy.
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.
14-Bit DXP A/D Conversion Sony’s 14-bit Digital EXtended Processor captures the range between highlight and shadow with up to 16,384 values, for extended dynamic contrast and detail.
5 Area Multi-Point Auto Focus By evaluating 5 separate focus areas of the frame, Sony’s Multi-Point AF system can intelligently focus on the subject and avoid mistakenly focusing on the background.
Manual Exposure Mode Manual Exposure Mode provides extended control with 46-step adjustable Shutter speed (30 – 1/1000 sec.), and 2-step Aperture control.
AF (Auto Focus) Illuminator Briefly illuminating the subject, in low–or no-light conditions, the AF Illuminator helps establish a positive focus lock.
Selectable Focus Mode Monitoring AF (Auto Focus) helps you anticipate the action by focusing even before you press the shutter release.
Multi-Pattern Measuring Independently light-metering 49 points of the frame, Multi-Pattern Measuring establishes the optimum exposure, even when highlight and shadow isn’t centered in the frame.
Scene Selection Mode With 7 Scene Modes, parameters can be matched to the shooting conditions. Choose from one of the following: Twilight, Twilight Portrait, Soft Snap, Landscape, Beach, Snow, Candle.
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.
Slow Shutter Noise Reduction During long exposures, Slow Shutter NR captures the scene, and then the CCD noise pattern with a dark frame exposure. By subtracting the two, even long exposures can be clear.
Memory Stick® Media and Memory Stick PRO™ Media2 Digital. Powerful. Transportable.™ Memory Stick® media is compact, portable and rugged—connecting a variety of hardware and software applications.
32MB Internal Memory Included3 Shoot without a flash memory card with 32 MB internal memory; Slot for optional Memory Stick®, Memory Stick PRO™ media. Full 32MB of internal memory can be copied to optional Memory Stick media.
5 Shot Burst Mode Capture up to five 5MP shots (fine) or 100 shots VGA (standard) at 0.9 frame/sec. Perfect for high speed subjects or fast moving action such as sports or small children.
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.
MPEG Movie VX Standard/Fine Mode with Audio Captures VGA (640 x 480) high frame rate (up to 30 frames per second) audio/video clips with length limited only by the capacity of the media. Video mail mode captures smaller file sizes suitable for email.
Conversion Lens Compatible With VAD-WA adaptor, you can add telephoto or wide-angle conversion lenses for greater magnification or wider field of view, as well as protective and special effect filters.
PictBridge™ Compatibility Connect to any PictBridge™ compatible printer with the supplied USB cable and print directly from the camera. Images can be viewed and selected for printing right on the camera’s LCD, with menus for print quantity, date and index print.
Rechargeable AA NiMH Batteries The high capacity 2100 mAh AA NiMH batteries provide reliable, long-lasting power for continuous shooting4. The supplied BC-CS2 charger provides a convenient way to charge the batteries.
