Sony DSC W230:
R 1 939.00
The Sony W230's 1/2.3" SuperHAD CCD image sensor with 12.1
megapixel resolution coupled to a Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar branded 4x
optical zoom lens offers equivalent focal lengths, range from 30 to
120mm, while the maximum aperture varies from f/2.8 to f/5.8 across the
zoom range. Macro focusing will be possible down to a minimum of four
centimeters. The W230 will forgo any optical viewfinder in favor of a
3.0" LCD display with 230,000 dot resolution - just a little bigger
than the 2.7" LCD of the W220, although the dot count is identical.
The Sony Cybershot W230 will offer ISO sensitivity ranging from 100 to
3,200 equivalent and will include both true mechanical image
stabilization, as well as Digital Image Stabilization which functions by
raising the camera's sensitivity (and along with it, the noise levels)
so as to achieve a higher shutter speed and reduce motion blurring. The
Sony W230 will also include face detection capable of differentiating
between children and adults and will take into account the locations of
detected faces when calculating autoexposure and autofocus variables.
The Sony Cyber-shot W230 will feature in-camera retouching capabilities,
with soft focus, fish eye effect, cross filter, partial color, retro,
radiation, red-eye correction, trimming, unsharp masking and smile
effects being on offer.

a built-in gyro sensor to detect camera shake and automatically
shifts the lens to help prevent blur without sacrificing image
quality. |
| High ISO allows for faster shutter speed, so
you can take photos indoors or in low light without the need for a
flash. |
