Another baby for all you Sony DSC fans out there - Sony India is introducing the 7.2 MP DSC-H5 with a Super HAD CCD. A high-intensity flash that can reach up to 16m - great for taking those night-time shots with expanded high-zoom range. Clad in black and silver, the new Cybershot DSC-H5 model has a 7.2-megapixel CCD imager and extra-large, three-inch LCD screen. The DSC H5 flaunt Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar 12x optical zoom lenses and focal length ranges of 36 to 432 millimeters (35 mm equivalence). It's got a sweet 3.0" preview LCD, so Sony assures you constant joy whether you are taking pictures or showing them off. The lens offers a 12x optical zoom (equivalent of 36-432mm for a 35mm film camera). Hand-movement and subject-movement corrections are integrated too, so you can say goodbye to blurred photos.
Out of all the features, I loved the 3.0" - heck, you can get a complete picture as well as verify composition accurately. Featuring a bright outer multilayer membrane, the LCD reduces reflection of light. Add to it a high-speed USB 2.0 interface and you know you will want to upgrade to the DSC-H5 when it hits the streets in June. Innovative Features: 7.2 Million Effective Pixels ISO 80 to ISO 1000 32MB Internal Memory Sleek Black Styling, Carl Zeiss 12x Optical Zoom For high-contrast images that take advantage of the DSC-H5's advanced CCD capabilities, a pro-quality Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar lens design with 12x optical zoom lens provides finely detailed images of distant subjects--with 24x digital zoom for dramatic closeups of your subject. Super SteadyShot Optical Image Stabilization Other image stabilization systems crop in to compensate for "camera shake"--but with the Super SteadyShot system, optical sensors detect camera movement and send correcting signals to a stabilization lens that allows even ultra-long-distance digital photos to capture more detail with less camera shake distortion. 7.2-Megapixel Super HAD CCD More megapixels give you more detail and definition for editing, cropping, and making large digital prints. Sony's advanced Super HAD (Hole Accumulated Diode) CCD design allows more light to pass to each pixel, increasing sensitivity and reducing noise. High Sensitivity Mode
Giant 3.0-Inch LCD Screen With an oversized 3.0-inch LCD screen, you'll find it easier to compose shots, check results, and read camera menus even in bright sunlight--and a one-touch "Play" button makes viewing your photos quick and simple. Clear Photo LCD Plus Design To improve your image for photo viewing and shot setup, Sony's Clear Photo LCD Plus design minimizes reflection from the LCD surface for excellent visibility outdoors even in bright sunlight--with wide-angle viewing lets you share images with a group of friends or family. Simple Camera Setup Features The DSC-H5 allows you to set Color Mode (Standard, Vivid, Natural, Sepia, or Monochrome), adjust image brightness with one-touch simplicity (including EV compensation for shooting into the sun or on cloudy days), and select the image size that's best for the print size you want and the remaining capacity of your camera's 32 MB internal memory or optional Memory Stick Duo media. Function Guide Text/Icon Display On-screen, a simple Function Guide text/icon display makes it easy to learn the camera functions that give you greater creative freedom to adjust color sensitivity, brightness, and image size for great shots in a wide range of situations. You'll also have quick reference to camera functions like flash, macro, and self-timer settings. Creative Manual Exposure Modes For more creative freedom, the DSC-H5 lets you adjust shutter speed to freeze the action or shoot with long time exposures--and control depth of field with aperture adjustment to concentrate on the foreground or capture "deep-focus" background. Manual Focus with MF Peaking In manual focus mode, the 3.0-inch LCD screen of the DSC-H5 highlights an outline of the shooting subject in color so it's easier to make adjustments. Why focus manually? To concentrate on an off-center subject, one face in a crowd, or an unexpected creative choice in a complex scene. Capture Images In-Camera With 32 MB internal memory, the DSC-H5 allows you to capture shots in-camera for later transfer to PC or Memory Stick Duo media--so even if you forget your flash memory card, you can always get the shot. 57x Smart Zoom Feature Sony's Smart Zoom feature gives you an amazing ultra-closeup crop on the central portion of interest in your photo while avoiding the image degradation of other digital zooms. MPEG Movie VX Fine Mode The DSC-H5 can capture VGA (1000 x 480) audio-video clips at high frame rate (up to 30 frames per second)--with new Optical Zoom for Movie to provide high-ratio zooming for sports and long-distance subjects and allow you to adjust zoom while taking action shots. Memory Stick Duo Media The DSC-H5 has a built-in slot for optional Memory Stick Duo or higher-capacity Memory Stick PRO Duo media--the ultra-compact media for shooting, storing, and sharing your photo images. Availability: No (Expected at the end of June in India) Price Range: Rs.23,000 to Rs. 27,000

High sensitivity, up to ISO1000 is supported by the DSC-H5, so even when shooting in dim light without a flash you get better quality images. With Sony's Clear RAW Noise Reduction technology, noise is reduced on the RAW data before compressing.
A new High Sensitivity Mode (ISO 1000) lets you shoot without flash for more natural results in low-light conditions and shoot at higher shutter speed to minimize blur from unsteady hands or fast-moving subjects--and Sony's original Clear RAW NR (Noise Reduction) image processing technology helps suppress the color noise that can accompany high-sensitivity shooting. | < Prev | Next > |
