The DSC-T100/B fits an amazing combination of high-tech features into super-slim dimensions. It has high-resolution 8.1 MP imaging, a powerful 5x optical zoom lens and a huge 3.0" Clear Photo LCD Plus screen that lets you snap and share photos easily. Innovative technologies like Face Detection, in-camera retouching, D-range optimization and HD (high definition) output expand the possibilities of digital photography.
The Sony Double Anti-Blur Solution lets you shoot in low light without flash to preserve the mood. Available in black, the DSC-T100 looks like no other digital camera - and fits your lifestyle as easily as it slips into your pocket, briefcase, purse or handbag. The 8.1 megapixels give you more detail and definition when you make big prints or crop in tightly on your subject.
The advanced Super HAD CCD design allows more light to pass to each pixel, increasing sensitivity and reducing noise. With 5x power to zoom in on our subject, this ingenious Carl Zeiss lens design brings you closer to the action - and optical zoom also operates in movie mode, so the DSC-T100 can follow family sports action with ease. Macro and magnifying glass modes are also provided for super-sharp close-ups and miniature hobby photography.
By automatically controlling focus, exposure, color and flash, the face detection 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. With Super SteadyShot optical image stabilization and high sensitivity (ISO 3200), the DSC-T100 compensates for shaky hands, minimizes blur, brightens images and allows flash-free shooting to preserve the mood.
The huge, bright 3.0" screen of the DSC-T100 is styled to fit flush against the camera back for a clean-line look, with Clear Photo LCD Plus design to make photos look more natural even in sunlight. 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.
