Whether you are a beginner or somebody that just admires great photography, the Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-W120 is for you. Being a leader in the photography industry, Sony has proven themselves again with this new compact camera. This new point-and-shoot has got 7.2 megapixels of crystal clear clarity that will bring the objects in your pictures to life every time you show them to friends and family. Don’t worry about loosing detail when you crop them either because the prints will be large enough to get great cropping, while still keeping the photograph clear and vivid. Compose your shot as well as scroll through the camera’s menu with the large and very bright, 2.5 inch TFT display on it’s backside. Getting great pictures means you need a great lens, that’s why Sony has stuck with Carl Zeiss lenses. The new Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-W120 has got 4x optical zoom so you can get into the action from a distance. If you are into taking family pictures or just spontaneous ones with your friends, you’ll enjoy two key components of this camera. One, Sony has incorporated Smile Shutterâ„¢ technology into their new compact camera that lets you get the smile as it happens. When a smile is detected, it fires of multiple shots to assure you have got a great picture. Two, Face Detection Technology is a great feature to have when taking pictures because once the camera has recognized faces in the shot, it adjusts the flash, ISO, and other elements to make sure the faces in the portrait show up great. Do your pictures sometimes come out a little blurred? The Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-W120 has brought Super SteadyShot® Technology to the table enabling you to get great prints, without worrying if you shook your hand. Shooting in low light situation can set a great mood and scene for a photograph. Letting flash come into play would just ruin the photograph. That’s why Sony has incorporated a high ISO (3200) so you can get great, low light photography, without worrying about it being too dark or worrying about having the flash ruining the true color of the moment. The Cyber-Shot DSC-W120 is more than a camera; you can also record movies on it as well. If a picture just can’t define a memory, switch it to movie mode and record movies with sound then playback on an HDTV for your friends and family to enjoy with you. This new compact camera has got 15 MB of internal memory that you can store pictures and movies on. While that’s nice of Sony to include memory, we would suggest picking up a Memory Stick PRO Duoâ„¢. There are so many reasons to get the new Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-W120; Christmas, road trips, weddings, birthdays, anniversaries or just to have around the home. With all the packed features Sony has included, and the very reasonable price of it taken into consideration, this new compact camera is a must buy.
