With a focus on performance, Sony's Stamina series of Cyber-shot digital cameras set a new standard for speed, battery life and picture quality in compact cameras. The DSC-S90 easy-to-use, four-megapixel camera is packed with features like Sony's Real Imaging Processor circuitry for better battery efficiency, more responsiveness and high quality movie taking. The Carl Zeiss Vario Tessar 3X optical zoom lens on the models complements their high resolution for great picture clarity, while 32 MB of internal memory and a Memory Stick media slot provide plenty of storage capacity. The new models in the S-series let you take approximately 110 shots while using two "AA" type batteries and around 550 shots while using a NIMH rechargeable battery. So that pictures are captured in-focus with the proper lighting and exposure, the new cameras offer a smart auto-focusing and exposure system - meaning that even if the subject is off-center and in a difficult lighting situation, the cameras can automatically make the necessary adjustments. The DSC-S90 includes a 3X optical zoom and 2X digital zoom for better looking, properly framed pictures. Additionally, various preset scene modes are available for quickly selecting the best setting for the shooting conditions. Incorporating all the smart features of the DSC-S40 camera, the DSC-S90 model steps up with an elegant new design, larger LCDs, manual exposure control and the added utility of Cyber-shot Station compatibility. This model also offers the option to add tele- or wide- conversion lenses for greater magnification or a wider field of view. |
