Picture Quality and Lens

With 10.6 megapixels you can get a 8x12 inch print at full resolution with greater enlargement possible to achieve high quality poster size prints. The 5 times Sony G lens does not extend when zooming and has a 35mm film equivalent focal length range of  24-120mm, which will give you a perspective from standard wide angle to short telephoto for small group pictures to creative portraits. It also has a 10 times digital zoom and up to 28 times smart zoom which is just a digital zoom that adjusts for optimum results by lowering resolution. This camera is also capable of a high 3200 ISO for better lowlight photography.

Key Features
