The 7.2-megapixel Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W80 camera captures the magic of life
with an advanced Bionz processor that powers new capabilities like Face
Detection, in-camera retouching and red-eye reduction, D-Range Optimization,
and 9-Point AF. The Sony Double Anti-Blur Solution combines Super SteadyShot
optical image stabilization with high-sensitivity (ISO 3200) shooting to
capture sharp, clear low-light images without flash to preserve the mood --
and the new HD output lets you share memories with spectacular
high-definition clarity and impact on compatible HDTV screens.
Cyber-shot DSC-W80 Highlights
7.2-megapixel Super HAD CCD 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.
Carl Zeiss 3x optical zoom lens A top-quality Carl Zeiss 3x
optical zoom lens design helps the DSC-W80 bring distant subjects closer and
lets you frame shots quickly for better composition -- a real advantage for
family sports, outdoor fun, and travel photos.
Face detection By automatically controlling focus, exposure, color
and flash, this new Sony feature reveals faces in shadow, makes skin tones
look more natural and eliminates harsh facial glare -- to help bring out
every expression on every face in every shot, so you’ll capture the
personalities and emotions that make memories come alive.
The Sony Double Anti-Blur Solution With Super SteadyShot optical
image stabilization and high sensitivity (ISO 3200), the DSC-W80 compensates
for shaky hands, minimizes blur, brightens images, and allows flash-free
shooting to preserve the mood -- with Sony Clear RAW Noise Reduction to take
care of the picture noise that can ruin low-light shots.
HD output Thanks to Sony, your photo album can go high-def -- with
direct HD output to compatible HDTV screens, so you can view DSC-W80 still
photos in spectacular high definition clarity and detail. Your life never
looked so exciting!
Note: HD output requires an optional Sony HD connector cable; HDTV sold
separately.
HD slide show with music It’s the high-definition viewing
experience that makes photos come alive on compatible HDTV screens,
accompanied by your choice of visual effects and any of four preset musical
selections stored in memory or your favorite MP3 tunes downloaded from PC to
your camera for use as background music.
9-point auto focus Because an off-center subject can make your
shot more interesting, the DSC-W80 can measure auto-focus precision at 9
points on your screen -- giving you greater creative freedom to compose your
image.
D-Range Optimization Powered by the exclusive Sony Bionz
high-speed processing engine, D-Range Optimization preserves image data in
bright highlights and reveals more detail in shadows or backlit areas -- for
great results even in difficult lighting conditions.
In-camera retouching The DSC-W80 lets you add creative effects to
photos after you shoot -- including soft edge filter to soften backgrounds,
cross filter to place starry "dazzles" at highlight points, partial color
filter to mute surrounding colors, even fish-eye filter to create
interesting fish-eye lens effects.
In-camera red-eye reduction Irritating "glowing eyes" can ruin
even the most creative photos -- so the DSC-W80 provides in-camera
correction at the touch of a button to reduce lingering red-eye effect that
other systems might miss.
Large 2.5-inch LCD screen The DSC-W80 provides a large, bright LCD
screen for composing shots, checking results, sharing your photos on
location -- and an optical viewfinder allows shooting in traditional
rangefinder camera style.
Simple setup controls A touch of the Home button opens your
user-friendly GUI -- and you can select functions by simply moving a cursor
vertically or horizontally to the appropriate icon. Function names and the
on-screen Function Guide display make it easier to learn camera setup
operations.
31 MB internal memory The DSC-W80 allows you to capture a large
number of images without a flash memory card, so it’s great for traveling or
for quick candid snapshots.
Memory Stick Duo Media convenience A built-in slot accepts
optional Memory Stick Duo media or Memory Stick Pro Duo media -- the
compact, high-capacity storage media that make it easily to upload photos to
your computer or make lab-quality prints at home on your Sony Picture
Station digital printer (sold separately).
14x Smart Zoom feature The Sony Smart Zoom feature intelligently
"crops into" the central portion of interest in your photo, avoiding the
image degradation of other digital zooms.
MPEG Movie VX Fine Mode Captures VGA (640 x 480) audio/video clips
at high frame rate (up to 30 frames per second), with length limited only by
the capacity of your media.
Stamina Battery Power The DSC-W80 provides up to 340 shots with a
fully charged NP-BG1 Lithium-ion battery -- enough shooting capacity to
cover a long weekend or a whole vacation.
Recreate the moment with the incredibly lifelike pictures you'll take with
the silver DSC-W80/B 7.2 Megapixel Cyber-shot digital camera. Your friends
will be impressed with its combination of high fashion and advanced
performance. With features like Face Detection to bring out the most natural
tones in faces and HD output for presentation, sharing pictures becomes an
experience to remember. The convenient in-camera retouching and red-eye
reduction expands your creativity while the double anti-blur solution allows
low-light shooting without flash. And the Carl Zeiss 3x optical zoom lens
lets you view the action very closely through the large 2.5" LCD screen.
