7.2-megapixel Super HAD CCD: Enjoy greater detail when you make large prints and post photos on the Internet. The advanced CCD design allows more light to pass to each pixel, increasing sensitivity and reducing noise.
2.5" LCD screen: The DSC-W55 has a bright 2.5" LCD screen for setting up and viewing images. A one-touch “Play” button makes it quick and easy to view your photos.
High ISO sensitivity: With high sensitivity of ISO 1000, the DSC-W55 gives you better shots in low light so you can shoot without flash to preserve the mood—great for birthday parties, indoor gatherings and candid portraits.
Clear RAW Noise Reduction: Clear RAW NR (Noise Reduction) image processing technology helps suppress color noise that can accompany high-sensitivity shooting.
Zoom: Get close to the action with the Carl Zeiss 3x optical zoom lens. The precision 2x digital zoom lets you zoom in further without creating jagged edges.
Smart Zoom™: Smart Zoom intelligently "crops into" the central portion of interest in your photo, avoiding the image degradation of other digital zooms.
Memory: With 56MB of internal memory you can shoot without a flash memory card and then transfer your images to optional Memory Stick Duo media. Get the most out of your camera by adding 1GB or larger Memory Stick Duo or Memory Stick PRO Duo media. How much memory do you need?
Capture MPEG movies: Take home movies with 640 x 480 VGA resolution at up to 30 frames per second. Go ahead and shoot away—the length of your audio/video clips is limited only by the capacity of your media card.
Function Guide text/icon display: An on-screen Function Guide text/icon display makes it easy to learn the camera functions that give you greater creative freedom to adjust photo settings.
Stamina® battery power: With its powerful lithium ion rechargeable battery, the DSC-W55 can capture up to 380 images—enough for a week of shooting. A compact battery charger is also supplied for battery recharging on the go.
