Sony DSC-N2

 

Very good to excellent image quality.Low noise up to 400 ISO.3-inch touch screen LCD monitor.Effectively distortion-free lens.10-megapixel image size.Competitively priced.

Aside from resolution, no additional improvements over the previous model.Relatively power hungry.Flash limited to short distances unless Auto ISO is use.

Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-N2 Digital Camera Review

 

The Sony Cyber-Shot N2 was the first compact Cyber-shot camera to feature a 10.1 effective Megapixel Super HAD CCD and an impressive sensitivity rating of ISO 1600 – as a result, this digital camera produces wonderful high resolution, blur-free shots...

At just 151g, the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-N2 camera is perfect for taking out and about and on holidays. Sony’s STAMINA battery technology allows up to 300 shots from a single charge, equating to around 2.5 hours of continuous shooting, so you can relax...

Sony DSC N2

 

Shutter lag ; Indoor photos ; Design and style

Small internal memory

The Sony DSC N2 is a smart looking digital camera with some smart features. It is one of the very few cameras with a touch response LCD screen. It also has a fully manual mode. Shutter lag times are extremely low and this is a good all round pocket...

Sony's 10 megapixel Cyber-shot DSC-N2 reviewed

 

The folks over at Imaging Resource got their hands on Sony's latest and greatest Cyber-shot, the DSC-N2, and seem to like what they see. The 10 megapixel camera is all about its prominent 3-inch touchscreen, and we suppose it's one of those love it or...

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-N2 review

 

Sony seems to love touch screens. First, it put a touch screen on its 8-megapixel Cyber-shot DSC-N1 . Then, it put touch screens on several of its camcorders, including the high-definition Handycam HDR-SR1 and the HDR-UX1 . Then, it put a touch screen...

Speedy shooting in well-lit scenes.

Fuzzy images; shutter lags when shooting in dim light; some users might find the touch screen awkward.

The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-N2 is small and fast, but compression artifacts and an awkward touch screen hinder its use.

The Sony Cyber Shot DSC-N2 is a responsive, 10-megapixel shooter you can easily fit into your pocket. Unfortunately, compression artifacts hurt its images, and its touch screen controls feel awkward. The slightly smaller and more conventionally...

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-N2 Digital Camera - Review

 

As with the DSC-N1, Sony has taken advantage of the LCD in the Sony N2 to let the camera function as a digital photo "wallet" of sorts. As you capture each image, it is saved twice. One copy is saved at your chosen resolution on the camera's flash...

Responsive with a good shutter lag time, very good shot-to-shot speed, Good overall color accuracy, Very good low-light shooting capabilities, Image noise at ISO 200 and below is pretty good, ISO up to 1,600, touchscreen LCD is efficient and simple to...

Slow continuous shooting speeds, High chromatic aberration lens distortion, noticeable in some images at the edges, Slightly warm skin tones, Auto white balance had a hard time with household incandescent lighting, Contrasty default tone curve, Image...

Also retained in the Sony N2 is a slideshow mode with a range of transitions including pans, zooms, wipes, and fades, all selected automatically by the camera, and accompanied by music stored in the camera. The user can replace the music with their own...
