Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W690 prices and specs
The Cyber-shot DSC-W690 was released on Feb 28, 2012 and is on sale in USA for $77.99.
The Cyber-shot DSC-W690 belongs to the category of point and shoot cameras. Its main benefit is a very small size: the photographer can even put it in the pocket. The camera is equipped with various automatic modes but you won't make photographs of the same high quality in comparison to large sensor compact cameras.
The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W690 can shoot pictures at 16 megapixels highest resolution. But for better picture quality the more important specification is a sensor size. This model has a 1/2.3' (6.17 x 4.55 mm) sensor which means that the model will take pictures with a lower quality than cameras with larger sensors but instead it is smaller. But if you want to produce pictures of the professional quality check Nikon D4S.
The camera has max shutter speed of 1/1600 sec. It is not very fast shutter speed but still you will manage to take pictures of moving subjects. The photographer will be able to produce HD videos that guarantees a satisfactory picture quality.
The lens is built into the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W690 and you won't be able to switch it. The lens provides amazing 10x optical zoom.
The Cyber-shot DSC-W690 battery life will be enough to take about 220 pictures.
