The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-S600 is a digital camera that features 6.0 MP photo resolution, 640 x 480 video quality, 11-meter flash range, and a wide, 31-mm lens. It is highly sensitive, with an ISO factor of 1000.

[edit] Improvements

One of the most notable features with the S600 is the 3x optical wide-angle (31 – 93 mm) zoom thanks to its Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar lens, much wider than most other cameras in its class and price range.

Director of Digital Imaging Products with Sony James Neal noted: "In addition to its impressive six megapixels, it’s a camera with intelligence, helping you to capture every special moment without concern about complex camera settings."
