Truly unique in both function and form, the DSC-F505V is cut from a different stone. Superbly crafted, it is as aesthetically pleasing as it is stunning in simple, high-performance operation. The new Cyber-shot DSC-F505V adds Sony's 3.34 mega-pixel CCD imager to the acclaimed lens arrangement of its award winning predecessor, DSC-F505. The effective 2.62 mega-pixel resolution achieves a 24 percent increase over the Cyber-shot DSC-505 and the 3.7 mega-pixel interpolated mode offers the largest image size from a Sony digital camera. Featuring a high-quality, ergonomic Carl Zeiss lens, which rotates (+90 to -50 degrees) for even greater versatility, DSC-F505V provides the utmost in photographic optics. The new model also includes advanced features such as 12 bit A/D conversion for wider dynamic range, TIFF mode for maximum color fidelity and in-camera image resizing options - giving users precise control over the outcome of their pictures.
