Sony Cyber-shot DSC-S980 prices and specs
The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-S980 was produced on Feb 17, 2009 and is sold in USA for $149.95
The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-S980 is a point and shoot camera. Its main benefit is a small size: the photographer can even put it in the pocket. The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-S980 has various automatic modes but you won't get pictures of the same great quality in comparison to DSLR cameras.
The camera can take images at 12 megapixels highest resolution. But if you want to get better picture quality the more important thing is a sensor size. The Cyber-shot DSC-S980 has a 1/2.3' (6.17 x 4.55 mm) sensor which means that the model will make images with a lower quality than cameras with larger sensors but instead it has another advantage - the Cyber-shot DSC-S980 is small. And if you want to capture images of the professional quality check Nikon D4S.
The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-S980 has max shutter speed of 1/1600 sec. It is not very fast shutter speed but still you will manage to take images of moving people. The camera owner will be able to capture HD videos that guarantees a rather high image quality.
The lens is fixed and the photographer won't be able to change it. The lens has 4x optical zoom.
