Description:

The fun, easy-to-use--yet powerful--Sony Cyber-shot DSC-P92 digital camera packs in more pixels and more features than its predecessor. With its 5-megapixel resolution, the Cyber-shot DSC-P92 produces stunning images in a diverse range of conditions. The Cyber-shot DSC-P92 features a 3x optical zoom and is one of the first Sony cameras to be compatible with Memory Stick PRO.

Optics and Resolution
The 5-megapixel resolution creates 2,592 x 1,944-pixel images large enough to print 20-by-30-inch enlargements. The 14-bit DXP system plus Super HAD CCD combine to produce excellent image detail and stunningly smooth contrast and color rendition. The Cyber-shot DSC-P92 offers a 3x optical zoom and 4x digital zoom for a 12x total.

Storage and Transfer
Images are stored on Memory Sticks, and a 16 MB Memory Stick is included. The Cyber-shot DSC-P92 is also one of the first Sony cameras to be compatible with optional Memory Stick PRO media, which can extends data capacity up to 1 GB.

Images can be downloaded to either a Mac or PC via USB connectivity, which means the camera can be connected to any USB-based Windows 98/Me/2000/XP and Mac OS 8.6 or later computer without installing any software.

Movie Mode
You can capture far more than still images with the MPEG Movie VX function. Most digital cameras' movie modes are limited to 30- or 60-second clips, but the Cyber-shot DSC-P92 can keep shooting until you've filled the memory card. The Cyber-shot DSC-P92 shoots video at up to VGA size (640 by 480 pixels) at 16 frames per second.
