Point-and-shoot photography has never been so satisfying – or so much fun. Four new compact cameras from Sony make it simple for everyone to take great pictures. The Cyber-shot™ W630, W620, W610 and S5000 put high quality creative imaging within easy reach, even for first-time digital camera owners.

Featured on the Cyber-shot™ W620 and W610, SteadyShot image stabilisation ensures clearer handheld images with less blur. Optical SteadyShot on the W630 is now enhanced to combat camera shake even more effectively whether you’re shooting HD video or stills – even at high zoom settings.

New 360° Sweep Panorama on all models captures an all-round view of landscapes, city scenes and more. Just press the shutter button and sweep the camera smoothly: a burst of images is stitched together automatically to create stunning 360-degree photos.

Not sure how to get the best out of your next photo opportunity? Intelligent Auto (iAUTO) recognises up to 33 different shooting situations from portraits to twilight scenes. Cyber-shot™ automatically adjusts exposure and other camera settings for clear, natural results without fuss.

As an extra refinement, the Cyber-shot™ W630 and W620 add four Picture Effect modes for easy ‘in-camera’ creation of artistic images. Enhance your photos with Pop Colour, Toy Camera, Partial Colour, and Soft High-key effects, with no PC or editing software needed.

A perfect entry into the world of digital imaging by Sony, the Cyber-shot™ S5000 shares many of the fun, easy-to-use features of W Series models. Using widely-available AA batteries, it’s a practical, great-value choice for first-time photographers.

All three new cameras come with PlayMemories Home software pre-installed. Just connect Cyber-shot™ to your PC for easy viewing, editing, printing, emailing, web uploads, disc burning and more.

The range of compatible accessories for Cyber-shot™ now includes a new choice of carry cases that offer stylish, practical protection.

The new Cyber-shot™ W630, W620 and W610 digital compact cameras by Sony are available in the UK from February 2012.
