Sony DSC-S730 7.2 Megapixel with 3x Optical Zoom
February 18th, 2008 | by CameraBang |
In the early 2008, Sony has released this price value compact camera. This digital camera was designed to be user friendly and produced high detailed photo. For that purpose Sony DSC-S730 was loaded with 7.2 megapixel HAD CCD and 3x optical zoom, so you could print up to 14 x 19-inch and bring you closer to your objects. And the panel design is very effective, you could reach all menu buttons with your thumb in the back panel.
For low light scene, Sony DSC-S730 can go as high as ISO 1250 to make flash free photos without blurs. Another feature that will please you is the 5 point auto focus that enables your shots to point in 5 different locations in the scene. This will bring you a unique touch to your photos, especially when your scene has many objects scattered in different places. For moving scene, you could make 3 continues shots using Burst modes that enables this camera made three shots in 1 second interval for VGA standard modes on 2 second interval for full resolution mode. This camera also supports Smart Zoom feature that intelligently crops your scene when you use digital zoom. This feature helps you to reduce image degradation when using your digital camera’s digital zoom.
Sony DSC-S730 can record movie in QVGA Movie mode that capture 320×240 audio/video clips in 30 fps till with the length of your available memory. This digital camera has built in internal memory 22 MB, but I would buy a Memory Stick Duo without any hesitation because Sony cameras tend to fill more space than others (please confirm if I’m wrong 
).
