Editors' Comments

With a slick black body, rubber handgrip, and 2.5" LCD, the Sony CyberShot DSC-V3 looks like a serious camera. The V3's beauty is more than skin-deep, however: With a 7-megapixel image sensor, Compact Flash and Memory Stick slots, and JPEG, TIFF and RAW file outputs, the V3 is a camera that will please amateur and pro photographers alike.

7.0 megapixels (effective)
4x optical zoom/2x digital zoom
auto and manual focus
