Sony Cybershot Digital Cameras Views

Electronics

Memory Type: Although some cameras do have some memory built in, most users benefit from using higher capacity flash memory cards to store more pictures and/or longer videos. Generally speaking, Digital SLRs and the more advanced standard cameras use CompactFlash and Microdrive cards, while the rest use either a form of Memory Stick (Sony), xD-Picture Card (Olympus l Fuji), or Secure Digital Card (most other brands). Many cameras using xD cards also use SmartMedia, as many SD compatible cameras can also use MultiMedia Cards (MMC).

Cyber-shot is a line of digital cameras made by Sony. The Cyber-shot range is well known for its proprietary InfoLithium battery pack,[1] the trademark Carl Zeiss lenses, and overall design. Also, all Cyber-shot cameras accept Sony's proprietary Memory Stick or Memory Stick PRO Duo flash memory. Some high-end models have also supported CompactFlash. Newer Cyber-shot cameras support SD and SDHC. All Cyber-shot models have a DSC prefix in their names, which is an acronym for Digital Still Camera .

The Sony Cybershot W370 is the high-end installation in Sony's popular Cybershot W-series. Like the slew of other 14-megapixel shooters. I had reservations about cramming another couple million pixels onto a sensor no larger than what other digital cameras have had in the past, while retaining clear image quality at the most sensitive settings. But the image quality is quite good, and the impressive specs and extra features make the W370 feel like a complete package, more than just a casual snapshooter.

The user interface makes use of the now-classic rear thumb wheel from previous Sony models, allowing quick access to the camera's six modes: Movie, Panorama Sweep, Program Auto, Intelligent Auto, Easy, and Scene. Overall, the interface appears to be pretty similar to past generations of Cybershot cameras.
