Sony
Introduces World's First CD-R Based Digital Still Camera!
MVC-CD1000 Digital
Still Camera CD-R Mavica: Price $1000. street
$900. You won't miss a single memory as you record your
images to a 3-inch Mavica CD-R Disc. Sony Electronics
today announced the first ever CD Recordable (CD-R) based
digital still camera, the Mavica MVC-CD1000. The new Mavica
camera uses a high-capacity 156MB 3 1/2-inch CD-R in an
easy-to-use camera for Americans who use the 260 million
CD or CD-R drives with their PCs, and even those who don't.
Each CD-R for Sony's new CD-R Mavica camera
can hold up to 160 1600x1200 (2.1 mega-pixel) images at
a price that encourages archiving and sharing. That's
the equivalent of more than four rolls of 35-exposure
film. And at around $2 a disc and no processing required,
this cool camera provides instant gratification at a fraction
of the cost!
High Resolution -- 10x Optical Zoom
-- Advanced Features: Above and beyond the innovative
use of CD-R technology, the Mavica MVC-CD1000 offers advanced
high picture quality, including 2.1 mega-pixel resolution
and the ability to shoot in TIFF and high quality MPEG
(MPEG HQ) modes. Sony's implementation of the CD-R format
enables faster image processing, dramatically decreasing
image recording time. Images captured with the MVC-CD1000
can be recorded in several modes, including JPEG compression
or TIFF in UXGA, SXGA, XGA or VGA image sizes.
The MVC-CD1000's powerful combination of
high resolution and 10x optical zoom -- equivalent to
a 35mm camera 400mm lens -- enables the MVC-CD1000 to
fill the frame with subjects from a greater distance and
capture them with greater clarity. Working with the powerful
zoom, Sony has also added a feature rarely seen in the
digital camera marketplace: a through-the-lens viewfinder
using a bright, crisp color LCD to ensure that what you
see is what you shoot.
Manufacturer: Sony
This high performance Mavica MVC-CD1000
also includes:
Manual adjustments -- shutter priority, aperture priority
functions and a manual focus ring;
Super SteadyShot(R) optical image stabilization -- removes
unwanted user camera shake for a clearer image, a feature
found on many camcorders, but only on Sony's digital still
cameras;
MPEG HQ Mode -- allows for MPEG full frame
playback on a standard TV -- rather than 1/4 frame playback
that had been previously available -- and an increased
frame rate of 16 frames per second that results in smoother
movement;
Built-in intelligent flash and added external flash terminal
(for use with the HVL-F1000 optional flash) -- range of
over 30 feet allows the camera to capture images at longer
distances under adverse lighting and the MVC-CD1000 communicates
mode and exposure intelligence directly with the flash.
The optional Sony HVL-F1000 flash is available now for
about $100;
Rechargeable InfoLithium(R) battery with
AccuPower(TM) meter -- with battery life approximately
100 minutes or 1,100 images in still image standard mode
with the LCD on;
3:2 picture size ratio option -- creating
a digital image that is the same size ratio as a standard
4x6 film print; 12bit A/D Conversion -- allows a wider
dynamic range from highlight to shadow;
Precision digital zoom -- with newly developed
interpolation technology users can capture a smoother
and more natural image; and In-camera zoom/trim and image
re-sizing capability.
