Sony - Cybershot S700 Digital Camera —
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.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 camera is powered by AA batteries.
The S700 only has 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.
As this is a fairly entry level camera, you simply get a normal focus and macro focus. In normal mode, you can focus as close as 19.75 inches. In macro mode, you can focus on something as close as 2 inches.
Auto focus is quick and accurate as long as you're in the right focus mode. A green light on the LCD stays solid when a focus lock is achieved. Focus is determined by a center AF area. There is no multiple-area AF mode available on this camera.
Not bad at all for an entry level camera.
