Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W550 prices and specs
The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W550 was released on Jul 24, 2011. For today the cheapest price for the camera is $49.95
The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W550 belongs to the category of point and shoot cameras. Its main benefit is a small size: the photographer can even put it in the pocket. The camera has various automatic modes but you won't capture pictures of the same perfect quality in comparison to large sensor compact cameras.
The camera can take images at 14 megapixels highest resolution. But if you want to get better photo quality the more important specification is a sensor size. This camera has a 1/2.3' (6.17 x 4.55 mm) sensor which means that the Cyber-shot DSC-W550 will produce images with a lower quality than cameras with larger sensors but instead it has another advantage - the Cyber-shot DSC-W550 has portable size. But if you want to shoot images of the professional quality check Leica M Monochrom (Typ 246).
The camera has max shutter speed of 1/1600 sec. It is not very fast shutter speed but still the owner of the camera will be able to shoot images of moving objects. The owner of the Cyber-shot DSC-W550 will be able to shoot HD videos that guarantees a good image quality.
The lens is fixed and you can't switch it. The lens has 4x optical zoom.
