Sonys DSC-P9 Cyber-shot Digital Still Camera features a whopping 4.0 megapixel resolution, 3X optical zoom, and Memory Stick Media recording. Whats really impressive is the ultra-compact design of this incredibly well-designed camera. Weighing just 7.5 oz. and measuring a mere 4 = x 2 x 1 7/16, its hard to believe this little wonder packs in so many of Sonys most advanced and popular features. You wont be giving up intelligent features like 3-area multi-point Auto Focus and multi-pattern metering. The DSC-P9 is only limited in its size.

[N I C K]

Independently light-metering 49 points of the frame, Multi-Pattern measuring establishes the optimum exposure value, even in scenes where highlight and shadow are not centered in the frame. With a momentary pre-flash, the camera illuminates the subject and calculates exposure through the lens directly from the CCD. Adjustable flash level and red-eye reduction insure great flash shots.
Memory Stick Media

Digital. Powerful. Transportable. Memory Stick media is compact, portable and rugged, connecting a variety of hardware and software applications. With 3 Scene Modes, camera parameters can be matched to the shooting conditions. Twilight slows the shutter for as long as 2 seconds to expose for available light, Twilight Portrait adds flash to illuminate foreground subjects, and Landscape optimizes distant focus. During long Twilight mode exposures, Slow Shutter NR captures the scene, and then the CCD noise pattern with a dark frame exposure. By subtracting the difference, even long exposures can be clear.
