Description — Sony Cyber-shot DSC-P10
The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-P10 is a point-and-shoot compact camera built around a 1/1.8-inch sensor delivering 5MP resolution at up to 2592x1944 pixels, processed by Sony's Digital Signal Processor (DSP). Its contrast detection autofocus system covers 3 focus points, and the ISO sensitivity spans 100 to 400 for everyday shooting. The built-in flash supports five modes — Auto, Forced, Slow Synchro, Off, and Red-eye Reduction — while four color profiles including Sepia, Solarize, and Negative Art allow for basic in-camera creative processing.
For framing, shooters can choose between the 1.5-inch TFT LCD (123,000 dots) and an optical tunnel viewfinder. Burst shooting is available at 1.5fps, and video records at 16fps in 8-bit Standard color. The plastic body measures 105 x 52 x 36 mm and weighs just 206g, and the Sony InfoLithium NP-FC11 battery is rated for approximately 180 shots per charge.
File transfer is handled via USB, and storage uses Memory Stick or Memory Stick PRO Duo media.
