About the size of a deck of playing cards, the stylish Cybershot DSCN1 is a high-performance, 8-megapixel camera, with an amazingly large, 3.0-inch, touch-screen LCD that is rare for a compact camera of this size. The N1 features a new album function that automatically stores up to 500 of your favorite images in VGA resolution and uses them to create dynamic slide shows with music and transition effects--in the camera.

The Sony N1 features a huge 3.0-inch LCD display that also functions as a touch screen.

All You'll Need in a Compact Camera
Take pictures with the confidence that you'll get excellent picture quality. With the DSCN1's 8-megapixel Super HAD CCD, its resolution is extraordinary for a compact camera. The cameras Carl Zeiss Vario Tessar lens lets you capture images with the utmost sharpness and clarity.

Sonys Real Imaging Processor LSI provides excellent color accuracy and incredibly fast response times. Its advanced power management system delivers long battery life--up to 270 shots per charge (actual battery life depends on usage conditions). With shutter lag minimized to just 9 milliseconds, you won't miss life's most important moments.

Moreover, the N1 offers excellent ISO sensitivity, which is of particular importance when shooting in low-light conditions. You can capture faster action at night with less blur or, in certain conditions, avoid using a flash altogether.

With an optional Memory Stick PRO Duo media card, shooting high-quality video is a breeze. MPEG-VX fine mode allows you to record MPEG video with 640 x 480 pixel resolution at 30 frames per second, up to the capacity of a compatible media card.

Your Pictures on the Big Screen
Now showing pictures to your friends and family is even more enjoyable. The Cybershot N1's 3.0-inch LCD screen is almost the size of an actual photograph--large enough for easy viewing. The camera's menu functions are accessible with your finger or thumb, and its innovative touch-screen interface reduces the need for traditional keys next to the LCD, allowing for a large screen in a very compact body. With Sony's Clear Photo LCD technology, your images will be bright, with high-contrast, and easy to view in virtually any environment.

Store Up to 500 of Your Favorite Photos
The N1's album function automatically stores up to 500 of your favorite images for a "pocket full of memories." By recording each image separately, once in full-resolution and again in 640 x 480 resolution, your favorite images accumulate for easy recall and sharing wherever you go.

A unique paint function allows you to draw symbols or words on the pictures in your in-camera album.

When you release the shutter, the full-resolution image is saved to an optional Memory Stick Duo media card or in the camera's 26 MB of internal memory. Automatically, the image is resized to 640 x 480 and stored in the portion of the camera's internal memory dedicated to the album.

Because you will take hundreds or perhaps thousands of pictures with your N1, the album function lets you protect the images you want to keep, so that over time you will have a collection of your favorite photos with you wherever you go. And with the cameras file management system, you can quickly locate your images; simply search for pictures by the month and date that you originally created them.

Use your finger or the included stylus, shown above, to access menus on the N1's touch screen.

To expand your playback options, you can view your photos on your television, through the optional Cybershot Station cradle, or on your PC. You decide how to share your photos; Sony lets you do it.

For even greater personalization of your photos, the DSCN1 model also has a distinctive paint function that lets you draw symbols or words on the pictures in your album using your finger or the supplied stylus.

Dynamic Slide Shows Without a PC
Now you can bring your photos to life with this latest model's slide show function. The N1 creates slide shows directly on the camera without using a PC. Images can be played back with such advanced features as transitions, pans, wipes, fades and zooms, choreographed to pre-loaded soundtracks. You can also use your own music, using the cameras supplied software. With the cameras built-in speaker, your slide shows are sure to have that cinematic effect with sound to complete the experience.

More for Your Memories
Sony has even more ideas for enjoying your cameras pictures and sharing them with family and friends. Connect the N1 model to a Sony DPP-FP50 digital photo printer (not included--must be purchased separately) and make prints at home or turn them into postcards or even calendars.
