This camera is the easiest digital I have used. Has all the features I need for taking easy, quick snapshots to manually settings for a little better planed pictures! No need for a manual as the screen will tell what each button is for and what each symbol means, which is huge for someone that does not know much about cameras and wants great photos. Takes a little bit of time to focus before it snaps the photo, so if you have an really busy kid, it's sometimes hard to get the facial expressions and such! Works great for me and I love it, would definetly buy it again.
The latest in the company's S-series, the Sony S980 is closely related to the S950 model which was announced at the Consumer Electronics Show a few weeks ago. The Sony S980 looks to be a fairly straightforward resolution upgrade of the previous camera, as it will be based around a 1/2.33" SuperHAD CCD image sensor with 12.1 megapixel resolution, just slightly higher-res than the S950's 10.1 megapixel image sensor. This imager is coupled to a 4x optical zoom lens with equivalent focal lengths ranging from 33 to 132mm, while the maximum aperture varies from f/2.5 to f/5.6 across the zoom range. Macro focusing will be possible down to a minimum of five centimeters. The S980 will forgo any optical viewfinder in favor of a 2.7" LCD display with 230,000 dot resolution. The Sony Cybershot S980 will be limited to a maximum ISO sensitivity of 3,200 equivalent, and will not offer true mechanical image stabilization, instead opting only for Digital Image Stabilization which functions by raising the camera's sensitivity (and along with it, the noise levels) so as to achieve a higher shutter speed and reduce motion blurring. The Sony S980 will also include face detection capable of identifying eight faces simultaneously, and will take into account the locations of detected faces when calculating autoexposure and autofocus variables. Other features of the Sony DSC-S980 will include six scene modes, Motion JPEG AVI video, in-camera red-eye correction and image cropping, and a multi-function terminal that will cater for both USB / video output and DC input connections. The S980's 25.9mm thick body will be available in three colors - silver, pink and black.Read full review
This is my second Sony Cyber-shot. The first one was purchased in 2007 and I would still have it but decided to upgrade and gave the older version to my son. The thing that I love most other than the quality of the pictures, is the ease of use. This camera can be taken right from the box and used immediately with very little instruction. There just aren't a lot of things to have to remember. The camera is also very compact and relatively lightweight. Great little camera for the price. I would recommend this one.
It is small and fits in the pocket. It takes superbly good pictures. The price was reasonable and shipping was promptly. The 12.1 megapixel makes a big difference in picture quality. I used to be a Minolta fan, but the Sony Cyber-shot makes me a believer in new technolgy. I decided to buy this camera since I wanted a small size camera with a big size cameras quality.
