Sony - Cybershot S700 Digital Camera —

table td {border: none;} The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-S700 was announced in mid January of this year. The S series from Sony is their affordable, entry level line. A previous model, the S600, ended up doing very well in the market. The S700 is a 7.2 megapixel camera with 3x optical zoom and a 2.4 inch LCD. A stylish metal body makes the camera look and feel like a more expensive one.

The S700 is meant to be an easy to use camera. There isn’t a ton of shooting options, but it’s easy to use the ones that are there. This class of camera is typically powered by AA batteries so entry level users aren’t intimidated by extra chargers and batteries.

The S700 has only a 2.4 inch LCD with 112,320 pixels of resolution. The colors displayed on the LCD are accurate and the brightness gains up and down depending on the lighting conditions. It is very difficult to preview images on the display on a bright day. Refresh rates are good enough to provide a smooth preview of your shot. Also, the fairly low pixel count leads to a preview that isn’t that sharp and it’s hard to see details.
