Sleek design and 8.1 megapixels for incredible detail. Manual exposure control provides greater creative freedom.

  • 8.1 megapixels
  • Large 2.5-inch LCD monitor
  • Carl Zeiss 3X Optical zoom
  • High-capacity 64 MB Internal Memory
  • Function Guide
  • Stamina Battery Power
The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W100 is an ideal camera for starting out right in digital photography, combining the quality of 8.1 megapixels and Carl Zeiss 3X optical zoom, the performance of High Sensitivity mode for great low-light shots, the simplicity of on-screen Function Guide for easy setup, and the convenience of 64 MB Internal Memory for shooting images in-camera.

8.1 Megapixel Super HAD CCD - Higher megapixels gives you more detail and definition for large prints and cropping in on your subject. Sony's advanced Super HAD (Hole Accumulated Diode) CCD design allows more light to pass to each pixel, increasing sensitivity and reducing noise.

Large 2.5-inch LCD Screen - The DSC-W100 has a bright 2.5-inch LCD screen for setting up and viewing images -- with a one touch Play button that makes it quick and easy to view your photos.

Simple Controls, Function Guide - User-friendly controls and simple on-screen Function Guide text/icon display help you set up camera functions -- and you' ll have greater creative freedom to adjust color mode (including Natural for subtle colors and Rich for more intense colors), sensitivity, brightness and image size.

High Sensitivity Mode - A new High Sensitivity Mode (ISO 1250) allows you to shoot with great results in low-light conditions -- and Sony's original Clear RAW NR (Noise Reduction) image processing technology helps suppress the color noise that can accompany high-sensitivity shooting.

Carl Zeiss 3X Optical/2X Digital Zoom/6X Total Zoom - 3X Optical Zoom helps the DSC-W50 bring distant subjects closer and lets you frame shots for better composition; Sony's precision 2X Digital Zoom provides an additional 2X magnification to zoom in close without jagged edges.

Stamina Battery Power - With its powerful Lithium Ion rechargeable battery, the DSC-W100 can capture up to 360 images -- enough for a week of shooting. The compact BC-CSG Battery Charger is also supplied for battery recharging on the go.

15X Smart Zoom Feature - Sony's Smart Zoom feature lets you magnify your subject beyond the 3x optical zoom - to 3.8x (5MP), 4.8x (3MP), even 15x (VGA). By intelligently cropping into the central portion of the scene, it avoids the image distortion of other digital zooms.

Capture Images In-Camera - With 64 MB Internal Memory, the DSC-W100 allows you to shoot without a flash memory card --then transfer your images to optional Memory Stick Duo media, upload to your computer or make prints on your digital printer.

Memory Stick Duo Media - The DSC-W100 has a built-in slot for optional Memory Stick Duo or higher-capacity Memory Stick PRO Duo media -- the ultra compact media for shooting, storing and sharing your photo images.

Awesome and Worth It!!

"My girlfriend got it because I wanted one that would fit in my pocket. My D200 and D70 can be cumbersome when you want to pack light. I love this little camera. I never liked point and shoot cameras until now. If you like it, then buy it. You wont regret it. The only thing I saw wrong with it is the battery door. It likes to come open at times...."

Don't believe the hype!

"I brought this camera because I wanted to get a taste of digital - an introduction. After several hours of research, this is what I selected. What a mistake! The lighting at my birthday was everyday indoor lighting. However, this camera made every shoot look like a funeral parlor. What is worst - no attached to comensate this camera's short comings. I should have just have went with Cannon Rebel XT. Shame on ..." Read Full Review »

"The first order brought an almost disfunctional camera (W100) to me. The only thing that worked was auto mode after guessing how to engage it. Does Sony have QA?

The reordered camera worked fine. [...] Low light pictures in high ISO are so noisy that they are almost not worth keeping. Expected bett …"  Read Full Review »

"We just bought and brought this camera to Costa Rica. It was so easy to figure out the settings. We took "perfect" pictures of crocodiles, monkey's, birds, sunsets, etc....We also bought the 2GB memory stick to take 8.5x11 and could not even come close to filling the card up.

Pura Vida!! "

"Very nice camera, only problem is that battery door pops open once in a while, with slight casual rub of the door; once the battery also popped out. Pictures, however, are clear and revealing. I love the camera. "
