Recreate the moment with the incredibly lifelike pictures you'll take with the white DSC-W80/W 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. The 7.2 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.
Bring distant subjects closer and frame shots quickly for better composition - a real advantage for family sports, outdoor fun and travel photos. 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, so you'll capture the personalities and emotions that make memories come alive.
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. Present your pictures with direct HD (high definition) output to compatible HDTV screens so you can view DSC-W80 still photos in spectacular HD clarity and detail.
Use the large, bright LCD screen for composing shots, checking results and sharing your photos on location. An optical viewfinder allows shooting in traditional rangefinder camera style. A built-in slot accepts the optional compact and high-capacity Memory Stick Duo media or Memory Stick Duo PRO media. Intelligently zoom and crop into the central portion of interest in your photo, avoiding the image degradation of other digital zooms.
