If you’re new to digital photography, you want controls that are simple to use and menus that make it easy to find the right selection. So the S930 has a large 2.4" LCD screen with clear icons and menus to make taking great photos as effortless as possible. The 10.1 effective megapixel resolution means you get finer detail in the image and can zoom in without losing clarity.

Face Detection finds faces and makes sure they look their best View larger

Face Detection to keep portraits in focus
Face Detection is very handy for shooting larger groups and scenes where faces might get lost against a detailed background. The sensor recognises faces as faces and automatically adjusts the exposure, white balance and flash settings to show skin tones at their best. Up to 8 faces can be recognised in any scene.

SteadyShot to reduce picture blur
If you are shooting with the camera in your hand, there is always a danger of handshake spoiling your picture, even if your subject is stationary. To avoid this problem, the S930 takes two shots at the same time at high shutter speed and combines them for one bright, blur free image — all you have to do is press the shutter once.

The high sensitivity sensor enables great pictures in low light
The S930’s sensor is measured at ISO 3200 so is highly sensitive to light and can automatically provides clear images in low light conditions, such as indoors or at twilight. On top of that, there are seven pre–set options for you to quickly choose the best settings for a particular type of scene.

Customer Reviews

Miss Snap Happy
I looked at quite a lot of cameras on the net and without actually seeing them I was so undecided on which to buy, but the Sony Cybershot was such good value for money, was very compact and lightweight which is what i wanted. I have to say it's perfect, the pictures are extremely clear and the zoom is great, the only downside to it is that it only takes normal batteries, i would of preferred something with maybe a lithium battery as rechargable batteries and charger are often quite expensive to buy, but all in all it is a brilliant camera and would definitely recommend this to anyone looking to buy a camera

slightly disappointed
This camera is ok, but the pictures tend to be quite dark. The other problem is that is just comes with normal AA batteries, not rechargeable. I had to buy new batteries twice in one weekend. I've now bought a separate battery charger and some rechargeable AA batteries. Not the best.

Less functionality than the 'w' series
Very good basic camera, with a sony lens. However, we bought it for making video clips and were disappointed that there is only a 320 video format suitable for emailing etc, and no 640 file size for video - which there is on the w110 and w210. Also, there is no audio on camera playback. One of the features we liked is the AA batteries - easy to replace anywhere in the world.
