 The
fun, easy-to-use Sony Cyber-shot DSC-P72 digital camera packs in more pixels
and more features than its predecessor. With its 3.2-megapixel resolution,
the Cyber-shot DSC-P72 produces stunning images in a diverse range of
conditions. The Cyber-shot DSC-P72 bumps up the optical zoom to 3x from the
DSC-P52's 2x rating, helping you bring distant subjects closer. It's also
one of the first Sony cameras to be compatible with Memory Stick Pro.
Optics and Resolution
The 3.2-megapixel resolution creates images large enough to print
11-by-17-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-P72 offers a 3x optical zoom and 3.2x digital
zoom for a 9.6x total.
Storage and Transfer
Images are stored on Memory Sticks, and a 16 MB Memory Stick is included.
The Cyber-shot DSC-P72 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 it 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-P72 can keep shooting until you've filled the memory
card. When used with Memory Stick Pro media you can shoot approximately 22
minutes of video.
