SONY Cyber-shot Digital Camera DSC-W570 review

SONY Cyber-shot DSC-W570 is a 16.1 effective megapixel compact digital camera with 5x optical zoom 25mm wide angle Carl Zeiss lens. W570 has the compact and ultra slim profile, looks very stylish and fascinating. It features 16.1 high effective megapixel 1/2.3 inch Super HAD CCD image sensor enough to ensure a clear printout of A3 or
larger size photo, 5x optical zoom 25mm wide angle Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar lens with optical image stabilization and Sweep Panorama mode. The W570 also supports iAuto mode and intelligent auto focusing. Now it priced at $179.99 with high cost performance.



Light, compact and beautifully styled, the new Sony Cyber-shot W570 digital camera lets everyone capture detail-packed still images and HD video. Features like Sweep Panorama expand shooting possibilities, while iAUTO takes care of adjusting settings for great results without fuss.

Sweep Panorama mode, first introduced in Sony’s breakthrough CyberShot DSC-HX1, DSC-TX1 and DSC-WX1 CMOS models, utilizes a CCD sensor to capture dramatic panoramic scenes. The Sony CyberShot W570 shoots images continuously to capture wide landscapes or tall buildings in one easy “press and sweep” motion. Images are automatically stitched together to create one stunning panoramic photo.

The built-in help guide of the Sony DSC-W570 is another way to make it easy to get the best shot. Designed to help users learn about the cameras’ features and how to use them on the spot, the “In-Camera Guide” is accessible from the menu button on the Sony W570 digital camera and allows users to easily search by purpose or keyword for functions they seek.

Not sure how to pick the perfect digital camera settings to suit a particular scene? Don’t worry, help is at hand. Intelligent Auto (iAUTO) mode automatically adjusts exposure and other camera settings for optimum results in a wide range of shooting situations.

Upload those memories to your favourite sharing sites on the web with a few mouse clicks. PMB Portable software inside the camera lets you select and transfer photos and video clips to any web-connected Personal Computer; it’s great if you’re travelling and have a few minutes to drop into the nearest internet café.

Dramatic landscapes, architectural photos, interiors and even family scenes can produce disappointing results when a scene gets cut off at the edges. A wide angle zoom lens on your camera lets you pack more into the picture without having to stand further back from the subject.

The famous Sony Sweep Panorama feature takes the hard work out of creating fabulous panoramic shots. Now it’s easy to grab breathtaking wide-screen views of that landscape or city scene. Sweep Panorama mode shoots a high-speed burst of frames as you sweep the camera from side to side (or up and down!). Images are stitched together automatically by the camera to create one big amazing panoramic photo.

With stylish profile, delicate workmanship and good optical performance, the W570 is designed for those who like simple and elegance. Overall, W570 has the balanced performance and affordable price. 5 colors available, gold, silver, black, pink and purple.
