Includes Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-P8 Digital Camera and Battery ONLY, Does NOT include Memory Stick

The DSC-P8's tiny shape and size ranks it among the smaller Sony Cyber-Shot models, perfect for travel and leisurely outings. The camera definitely passes the "shirt pocket" test, and would even fit into a rather small handbag. The P8's compact shape isn't all the camera has to offer though. A 3.2-megapixel CCD and an all-glass, 3x zoom lens deliver sharp, clear pictures, suitable for printing as large as 8x10 inches. There's also an Email size option that creates smaller-resolution files for sending over the Internet, in addition to whatever larger image size you've chosen. Plus, the handful of preset Scene modes can tackle a wide range of common exposure situations, from beach scenes to night shots.

The P8's 3x optical zoom lens has a focal length range from 6-18mm, the equivalent of a 39-117mm lens on a 35mm camera. (Most digicams with 3x zoom lenses cover a range from 35 to 105mm equivalent. The P8's lens is thus biased just slightly toward the telephoto end.) Focus ranges from 19.7 inches (50 centimeters) to infinity in normal focus mode, with a macro setting that lets you get as close as 3.9 inches (10 centimeters). Closest focus occurs only when the lens is at its wide angle setting, producing a fairly average minimum macro area of 3.33 x 2.50 inches (85 x 63 millimeters).
