Sony Updated: 2008-03-07 RSS

Take beautiful 8.1 megapixel photos with a camera that fits in your pocket. The Cyber-shot® DSC-S780 digital camera raises the bar for other cameras in this class. It features advanced Face Detection technology optimizes focus, exposure, and color for accurate reproduction of up to three faces.

What's more, a high ISO sensitivity helps reduce blur when shooting without a flash, even in low light.

8.1 MP Super HAD™ CCD
More megapixels give you more detail and definition when you make big prints or crop in tight on your subject. The advanced Sony® Super HAD™ (Hole Accumulated Diode) CCD design allows more light to pass to each pixel, increasing sensitivity and reducing noise.

5-Point Auto Focus
A five-point auto focus evaluates your shot at 5 points on your screen -- so you’ll get great results even with off-center subjects that make interesting photo compositions.

2.5”1 TFT LCD Display
The large, bright 2.5”1 TFT LCD display makes it easy to compose shots, check results, and read menus in sharp natural color, even in bright sunlight.

22 MB2 Internal Memory
Even if you forget your flash memory card, you can get the shot because 22 MB2 internal memory lets you capture a limited number of shots with in-camera convenience, then easily transfer your shots to a PC or optional Memory Stick Duo™ Media.

Burst Mode
You can fire off up to 3 shots at Approx.0.9 second intervals (at any resolution: VGA to full resolution mode) -- a great way to capture a child’s first steps or a pet’s best tricks.

Convenient Photo Modes

Face Detection
Face Detection technology automatically controls focus and exposure to help reveal faces in shadows, make skin tones look more natural, reduce red-eye, and eliminates harsh facial glare.

High Sensitivity (ISO 1250) Mode
