Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-P41 Light Field Camera

The low-end Cybershot DSC-P41 camera displayed Wednesday will replace Sony's earlier Cybershot DSC-P32 model. It has a 3x digital zoom, a 4.1-megapixel CCD (charge-coupled device) sensor and a 1.5-inch (3.8 centimeter) LCD (liquid crystal display) screen. A 3.2x VGA Smart Zoom uses the full CCD to zoom into a selected portion of the image area by cropping the image size, thus avoiding the image degradation of digital zooms, Sony said.\nThe DSC-P41 has a five-area multi-point auto focus, which allows users to evaluate five focus points on the frame to automatically or manually focus on the subject. It has six preset LCD screen modes, auto exposure mode and a burst mode that allows the camera to capture four shots in quick succession at a rate of 1.7 frames per second (fps). At 148 grams (without a battery, media or strap), it is the lightest of all the new Cybershot cameras.\n
