From the Manufacturer
Shoot, save, search, and share up to 500 VGA photos with the 10.1-megapixel Cybershot DSC-N2. Enjoy your photos as slide shows set to music with family and friends on the huge 3.0-inch LCD screen with touch-screen operation. Featuring high-ISO sensitivity, the DSC-N2 captures gorgeous shots without a flash where flash is not permitted or might disrupt the mood. Equipped with precision Carl Zeiss 3x optical/2x digital zoom lens and 25MB internal memory, the DSC-N2 is perfect for capturing images without a flash memory card.10.1-Megapixel Super HAD CCD
Over 10 million pixels provide incredible high-resolution detail and definition for making big prints and cropping in on your subject. Plus, the advanced Sony 1/1.7-inch Super HAD (Hole Accumulated Diode) CCD design allows more light to pass to each pixel, increasing sensitivity and reducing noise.

Higher Sensitivity
Because flash can sometimes change the mood, the DSC-N2 features higher sensitivity (ISO 1600) for excellent low-light shots at higher shutter speed and for capturing images in museums or religious sites where flash may not be permitted.

Carl Zeiss 3x Optical/6x Digital Zoom
3x Optical Zoom helps the DSC-N2 bring distant subjects closer and lets you frame shots for better composition; Sony's precision 6x Digital Zoom lets you enlarge image areas without jagged edges.

Wider D-Range
Some compact digital cameras "wash out" color in brightly lit areas, but the Sony DSC-N2 controls the light level received by its CCD imager to reduce washout and improve color reproduction.

Huge 3.0-Inch Clear Photo LCD Plus Touch Screen
This huge screen makes it easier to read camera menus, compose shots, and share results. The Sony Clear Photo LCD Plus design reduces reflection from the LCD surface for excellent visibility outdoors, while the wide-angle viewing lets you entertain a crowd with slide show and pocket album functions.

Slide Show with Music
The DSC-N2 lets you combine images in Slide Show sequence, adding any of four transition effects (simple, nostalgic, stylish, or active) plus four kinds of background music--or viewing your Slide Show without music.

Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar 3x Optical/2x Digital Zoom
With precision lens design and 3x optical zoom, you can capture dramatic long shots and frame images for better composition--and the precision Sony 2x digital zoom function lets you enlarge image areas without jagged edges.

Pocket Album Function
You can store and share up to 500 photo images at VGA resolution--and manage your album photos using simple touchscreen images to select favorites, delete shots, and search your photo archive by date or year.

Touch-Screen Operation
Convenient touch-screen operation of many camera functions replaces small, hard-to-read buttons--so it's easy to adjust camera setup and catch quick candid shots in the field.

Free Spot AF
In addition to normal autofocus mode, the DSC-N2 lets you focus on a subject by just touching it on your LCD screen--a fast and simple way to adjust focus for complex scenes or moving subjects.

25MB Internal Memory
You can capture images in-camera, without using a flash memory card, or use optional Memory Stick Duo media for ultra-compact, high-capacity shooting and recording.

High-Quality Video Clips
In MPEG VX Fine Mode, the DSC-N2 captures VGA (640 x 480) audio-video clips at high frame rate of up to 30 frames per second with length limited only by the capacity of your media. Video Mail Mode lets you capture smaller file sizes suitable for e-mail.

Stamina Battery Power
A high-stamina NP-BG1 Lithium Ion battery lets the DSC-N2 shoot up to 300 images, giving you plenty of power when traveling or shooting on location.

Picture Motion Browser Software
Supplied software makes it easier to upload, organize, and search photos on your PC--and provides a convenient map view function to sort photos by location and display their origin on a world map by using an optional GPS unit. GPS-CS1 unit (not included--must be purchased separately) needed during picture capture; computer with Internet access and access to Google Map service required for GPS functionality.

Paint Function
You can stamp graphics and trace drawings or letters on your photos with the Paint function. Decorated images are saved as separate VGA-size files so your originals won't be affected.

Product Description
Sony's DSC-N2 Cybershot Digital-Camera opens a new world of shooting and sharing, with outstanding 10 megapixel still imaging performance and internal memory that holds up to 500 VGA images for pocket album viewing anywhere, anytime. A huge 3.0" LCD Monitor with Clear Photo LCD Plus technology provides touch-screen convenience for controlling camera functions and searching thumbnail images -- and Free Spot AF lets you focus on a subject by just touching it on screen. It also features Slide Show play capability. Precise Carl Zeiss optics provide 3x zoom capabilities with further magnification available using up to 6x Digital zoom. The DSC-N2 includes 26 MB internal memory for capturing images in-camera and has a slot for using Sony MemoryStick Pro-Duo memory cards. The internal memory is nice for trying the camera out but, using the maximum 10 megapixel mode, barely provides space for a couple pictures. For practical use of this camera, especially when using both still and movie modes, it's wise to go for an optional 1GB memory card. The camera ships with a proprietary high-stamina Lithium Ion rechargeable battery (and charger) for optimal performance.
