Review on Sony DSC-V3 Digital Camera

By Anna Lim
Sony Electronics, Inc. continues to dominate the digital camera industry. With its wide range of digital cameras, here comes the latest addition to its roster of amazing models, the Sony DSC-V3 Digital Camera which is so far one of the best 7.2 megapixel cameras in the market.

With Sony DSC-V3 Digital Camera, your pictures will have extreme sharpness, outstanding details, and more saturated colors. Even though it doesn't have the highest resolution, it produces sharp and clear images. Its great features include constant auto focus mode, faster write time to memory stick, better red eye reduction and night shot/night framing (nightvision), dual media (memory sticks and compact flash type), large 2.5" LCD screen, CF support, great 30 fps video 640x480 and focusing in low or no light at all, and better battery life (183 minutes fully charged) which is close to 370 shots.

The basic features of the playback mode of the Sony DSC-V3 Digital Camera include slide shows, DPOF print marking, image protection, thumbnail mode, and "zoom & scroll". You can move from one photo to the next without delay. Some of the more advanced playback features include: resize - you can change the size of an image without the original image being deleted, rotate, divide - you can cut sections of movies, and trim - you can do this when you zoom an image. It also has a top-notch movie mode.

The MPEG Movie VX Fine mode takes VGA resolution video (640 x 480) at 30 frames/sec, until the memory card is full. The sound is also recorded very well. It also allows direct printing to compatible photo printers.

The new Sony DSC-V3 Digital Camera is a very attractive and forceful addition to the high-end digital camera world. Aside from being too responsive in terms of both shutter lag and shot to shot cycle times, image quality is good and sharp from corner to corner. Really cool, there is an auto-balance and a visual of the levels of your picture as you are previewing it. Another bonus is that it has a rechargeable battery.

If you strictly want a point and shoot camera, the Sony DSC-V3 Digital Camera is not for you. But more than that, this camera is the perfect choice. You'll surely love it while learning a little about photography. With its great features, it'll never be outdated anytime soon. It may be a little bit expensive but it's definitely worth it if you'll just unlock the amazing features of this awesome product.
