Description:

Sony has now made capturing spontaneous photographic moments even easier with the diminutive Cyber-shot DSC-U10. Measuring a mere 3.38 by 1.19 by 1.63 inches and weighing just 4 ounces, the ultracompact DSC-U10 enables you to carry it comfortably in your pocket, your purse, or around your neck. Capturing spontaneity is a snap thanks to its state-of-the-art technology and ease of use

Optics and Resolution
With its a 1.3-megapixel CCD sensor, the DSC-U10 captures images up to 1,280 x 960 pixels--perfect for posting to the Web or sending to friends and family via e-mail. The DSC-U10 offers a fixed-focus 5mm/f2.8 lens (or a 33mm equivalent in a 35mm camera) that has no optical or digital zoom capability. It features a 3-area multipoint autofocus and four-step manual focus with automacro.

Storage and Transfer
Images are stored on Memory Sticks, and an 8 MB card is included, which will store approximately 23 images. Images can be downloaded to either a Mac or PC via USB storage-class connectivity, which means it can be connected to any USB-based Windows Me/2000/XP and Mac OS 8.6 or later computer without installing any software.

Movie Mode
In addition to taking still photos, the DSC-U10 can also record MPEG movie clips (without audio) of up to 15 seconds. The limited resolution of your movies guarantees that this feature won't replace your camcorder, but it's perfect for when you just want to capture a quick movie and e-mail it to a friend or relative.
