With 7.2 MP imaging, high sensitivity and up to 460-shot1 Stamina battery power, the Cyber-shot DSC-S700 digital camera is an ideal camera for starting out, stepping up or making the switch from film to digital. Its 3X optical zoom lens, 24MB internal memory capacity and bright 2.4 LCD screen add up to a great combination of high-value features for first-time users. Boasting a sophisticated metal body, compact design and affordable price, the DSC-S700 easily fits into your travel plans or budget. More megapixels give you more detail and definition when you make big prints or crop in tight on your subject. The advanced Super HAD (Hole Accumulated Diode) CCD design allows more light to pass to each pixel, increasing sensitivity and reducing noise. The 3X optical zoom helps bring distant subjects closer and lets you frame shots quickly for better composition, a real advantage for family sports, outdoor fun and travel photos. minimize

4 Star Review Very nice camera

Strengths:

Extremely easy to use, manual is not needed for experienced amateur. "Green" icon shots are easy for anyone. Prints of outdoor shots are excellent+.

Weaknesses:

Startup could be faster. Flash photos are slightly overexposed even when set to "-". Background indoor shots sometimes underexposed, "slow synchro" not good. Macro shots not focused well.

Posted May 4, 2008 - "Disappears" in cargo pocket. Batteries are not a problem. Screen difficult to see outdoors--common for camera type. Limited user adjustable features are extremely easy to use. Battery/card cover accidently opened one time, batteries popped out. Sony Picture Motion is easy to use. Weaknesses listed above are minor.

3 Star Review Ok camera not the best

Strengths:

7.2 Pixel, 2.4 LCD, AA batteries.

Weaknesses:

autofocus, slow timing, bulky, built in memory

Posted Mar 1, 2008 - Eh not much to say about this camera, it isn't the best out there but was able to buy it for $120 on sale, retail was $230 back then. The 7.2 megapixel with the 2.4 LCD bright screen and are the only really great things I like about it, my girlfriend likes the fact that it uses AA batteries but i'm not so found of that. As others said the timing between pictures is slow, and autofocus is horrible. Most of the camera's built in memory is 32MB why this one is only 24MB is beyond me. 3 out of 5

4 Star Review Excellent shots for the price

Strengths:

Excellent shots, portability

Weaknesses:

Optical zoom, Memory usage, battery backup

Posted Feb 10, 2008 - Bought this on thanksgiving at a very nominal price for my dad. Works best in daylight. Night mode does not work that best. Ecellent shots with image stability. No shake and red-eye. However, at max zoom in night mode, the images are little blurred and have lot of shake. Well, that seems common with all portable cameras at this resolution. Much better than a similar spec Fuji or Cannon. You must have a huge memory stick to store the data in for 7 mp pics. Batter goes out soom with continuous flash.

1 Star Review CyberShot DSC-700

Strengths:

compact 7m plus pix

Weaknesses:

Very poor contrast. Extreme shutter lag. No viewfinder.LCD display useless in sunlight

Posted Jan 28, 2008 - This was suppose to be an upgrade over my DC-240 Kodak purchased 9 years ago. (1.3 MP). The old boat anchor produces a much better photo. Contrast is very poor, center point focusing not accurate, LCD display is totally useless with even the smallest amount of sunlight outdoors. Shutter lag is absolutely objectionable. Video function can only be described as a childish toy. As a gift it was a nice gesture but doesn't even come close to the 10 year old Kodak. Shame on Sony for putting their name on this!

4 Star Review Good, cheap camera

Strengths:

Its very cheap. Small size and big screen.

Weaknesses:

You get what you pay for.

Posted Jan 17, 2008 - I got it as a gift. Person wanted a small, compact digital camera. This is a great basic camera to snap pics of friends and stuff. Do not expect to get DSLR quality shots, but for the money, I am happy.

3 Star Review good in picture, weak in video

Strengths:

picture quality is good, many functions to set, especially good in room.

Weaknesses:

video quality is poor, if you want a somehow reasonable quality for your home video, avoid this camera.

Posted Jan 13, 2008 - Generally speaking, the picture quality is the same as the previous models of sony I had, and it is superior than the same level canon's. Especially good is for in house picture, sony made improvement, now I can take in-house picture without flash, but still in good quality. However the video quality is so poor, 320x240 is such poor resolution that you can not even see clearly from the laptop.

4 Star Review Good bang for the buck

Strengths:

Size, resolution, ease of use, non-proprietary batteries, large LCD screen, decent zoom

Weaknesses:

Doesn't use SD cards

Posted Jan 5, 2008 - This camera packs a lot of value for the price. It's a great choice for beginners who want something compact that will fit in a pocket and that will also take good pictures without a lot of fuss and fumbling. The ability to use AA batteries is a huge plus in my opinion, as AAs are widely available (get AAs that can be recharged). I wish it used widely available and very common SD memory, but I understand why Sony wants to promote their own format.

4 Star Review CybersShot DSC-S700 Great little camera.

Strengths:

Small, compact, easy to use.

Weaknesses:

Wish it had a bigger internal memory storage.

Posted Jan 5, 2008 - I got this camera at a great price so I decided to buy it. I'm glad I did because it is so easy to use and you can download you pictures to your printer or watch a movie slide of your pictures on your TV screen. I like this camera very much and I would recommend it.

4 Star Review Sony Cybershot DSC-S700 Digital Camera

Strengths:

Picture, Price, ISO

Weaknesses:

Expensive Duo-pro card, Date-time embed

Posted Dec 29, 2007 - I bought this camera for my regular use. Picture quality, movie mode is good. It has ISO feature too. As usual, sony camera is not compactable with other card, so, we have to buy expensive duo card. Further, I did not find any option to embed Date & time inside the photo. I had taken the help from technical support or customer support too for the same, but could not got it.

4 Star Review Great entry-level digital camera

Strengths:

large LCD screen, dial selector and function explanations, easy to use, ergonomic, 7.2 MP, slick design, compact size, price

Weaknesses:

can only use memory sick duo (more expensive than SD cards), long loading time when reviewing pictures, few manual controls,

Posted Dec 28, 2007 - At first, I received a defective unit but Staples shipped me a new one quickly. I hope the new one will be as reliable as my old CyberShot, which is still functional today after three years of use. This is a very good entry-level digital camera. For this price, it's hard to find anything close to this camera in terms of performance and style. Its design is slick compared to other cameras in this price range. A thinner body would be a little better though. Its large LCD adds both functionality and style to the camera. You have to use it to take and review photos. It's bright and clear so I wouldn't mind totally depending on it. The dial selector lets you choose a number of modes depending on the situation. That's perfect for a photography beginner. The only drawbacks are Sony's proprietary Memory Stick Duo and noticeably longer loading time when reviewing pictures. But I guess paying extra for a Memory Stick is the price you have to pay for a more stylish cheap digi cam. Overall, very satisfied and would recommend it.

4 Star Review Great Camera - Great Price

Strengths:

Picture Quality

Weaknesses:

Weight

Posted Dec 12, 2007 - The DCS-S700 takes great pictures right out of the box. I added some additional memory and was able to take many pictures during a vacation. The camera took the pictures quickly and were very crisp and clear when uploaded. Great camera for the price.

5 Star Review Black Friday Deal

Strengths:

Megapixels, ease of use

Weaknesses:

Motion picture quality

Posted Dec 8, 2007 - Pictures look clear, memory stick is expensive but for a 2 gig at $15 on sale the camera was worth the savings. 3x optical zoom and 2x digital zoom is plenty of zoom for the things I take pictures of.

3 Star Review dsc s700

Strengths:

Overall a good camera for its price. good pictures and serves the need of day to day photo shoots.

Weaknesses:

It uses duo pro stick that costs about 3 times more as oppose to SD cards. Movie mode resolution is not great. It does not have image stabilization.

Posted Nov 30, 2007 - Overall a good camera for its price. good pictures and serves the need of day to day photo shoots.It offers good image quality, performance, plenty of exposure modes.Some of the negatives I feel are that it uses duo pro stick that costs about 3 times more as oppose to SD cards. It does not have image stabilization, Canon IS series which cost about the same , has it. Movie mode resolution is not great. Because of these negatives I am giving it 3 stars. I am satisfied, but, will not buy again because of mainly the Pro duo stick being so much more expensive.
