• 8.1 Megapixel Super HAD CCD:
  Higher megapixels gives you more detail and definition for large prints and cropping in on your subject. Sony’s advanced Super HAD (Hole Accumulated Diode) CCD design allows more light to pass to each pixel, increasing sensitivity and reducing noise.
• Large 2.5" LCD Screen:
  The DSC-W100 has a bright 2.5" LCD screen for setting up and viewing images -- with a one touch "Play" button that makes it quick and easy to view your photos.
• Simple Controls, Function Guide:
  User-friendly controls and simple on-screen Function Guide text/icon display help you set up camera functions -- and you’ ll have greater creative freedom to adjust color mode (including “Natural” for subtle colors and “Rich” for more intense colors), sensitivity, brightness and image size.
• High Sensitivity Mode:
  A new High Sensitivity Mode (ISO 1250) allows you to shoot with great results in low-light conditions -- and Sony’s original Clear RAW NR (Noise Reduction) image processing technology helps suppress the color noise that can accompany high-sensitivity shooting.
• Carl Zeiss 3X Optical/2X Digital Zoom/6X Total Zoom:
  3X Optical Zoom helps the DSC-W50 bring distant subjects closer and lets you frame shots for better composition; Sony’s precision 2X Digital Zoom provides an additional 2X magnification to zoom in close without jagged edges.
• Stamina Battery Power:
  With its powerful Lithium Ion rechargeable battery, the DSC-W100 can capture up to 360 images -- enough for a week of shooting. The compact BC-CSG Battery Charger is also supplied for battery recharging on the go.
• 15X Smart Zoom Feature:
  Sony's Smart Zoom feature lets you magnify your subject beyond the 3x optical zoom - to 3.8x (5MP), 4.8x (3MP), even 15x (VGA). By intelligently cropping into the central portion of the scene, it avoids the image distortion of other digital zooms.
• Capture Images In-Camera:
  With 64 MB Internal Memory, the DSC-W100 allows you to shoot without a flash memory card --then transfer your images to optional Memory Stick Duo media, upload to your computer or make prints on your digital printer.
• Memory Stick Duo Media:
  The DSC-W100 has a built-in slot for optional Memory Stick Duo or higher-capacity Memory Stick PRO Duo media -- the ultra compact media for shooting, storing and sharing your photo images.
