The effective 5.1 Megapixel Super HAD CCD and Sony Real Imaging Processor™ deliver high-quality image control, rich colour and fine detail, resulting in spectacular digital images. The CCD is powerful enough to support larger and more detailed prints while maintaining image clarity. The Megapixel CCD also recreates high-detailed images, utilizing more digital information in reproducing the subject. The Sony Real Imaging Processor™ provides a more realistic picture than other digital still cameras. It enhances picture quality with accurate colour reproduction and provides energy efficient performance. By reducing digital noise, the powerful Real Imaging Processor™ eliminates image gaps and enhances plain areas. The result is a spectacular and vibrant digital image with realistic colour and tones.

The DSC-T33 Cyber-shot® Digital Camera’s 3x Optical Zoom lets you get close to the object while maintaining detail and picture quality. Powered by the precision craftsmanship of a Carl Zeiss® Vario-Tessar® lens, the T33’s 3x Optical Zoom brings you close to the object while delivering the same sharp picture. The added Smart Zoom™ feature intelligently uses the full CCD to zoom into a particular object, cropping the image size with no picture degradation (up to 12x in VGA 640x480 mode). The full size 6x digital zoom captures even more of the picture. Powered by the superior 5.1 Megapixel CCD, the 6x digital zoom recreates the subject in sharp detail with vivid colour and brings you closer to the action.

Designed specifically for the ultra-slim DSC-T33 Cyber-shot® Digital Camera, the Carl Zeiss® Vario-Tessar® lens provides sharp focus and smooth zooming. The slim look of the T33 Cyber-shot® digital camera is due in part to the lens technology developed for the T33. The folded path Vario-Tessar® optical lens system moves and focuses inside the body of the camera rather than extending out, delivering the same clear image and precision design that can only be found in a Carl Zeiss® lens.

The advanced response time of the DSC-T33 Cyber-shot® guarantees you will never miss a second of the action. With an ultra-quick start up time of 1.3 seconds, the Cyber-shot® T33 is ready right when you need it. Sony’s Real Imaging Processor™ circuitry also delivers lightning-fast image capturing, providing a shutter speed of only 0.23 seconds! Plus, at a shooting interval of precisely one second per image, you can shoot picture after picture without missing a single beat. The DSC-T33’s amazingly quick response time lets you capture more of your favourite moments right as they happen.

The DSC-T33’s Auto Bracketing feature is the foolproof way to get the best exposure in difficult lighting situations. With every shot, the camera automatically takes a sequence of three pictures: the image with set exposure, another set one level above exposure, and a third image set one level below. Sony’s Auto Bracketing system takes the guesswork out of selecting the right exposure and still gives you the power to choose the best-looking picture.

Be ready for any moment with the convenient, multipurpose Cyber-shot® Cradle. Included with the DSC-T33, the Cyber-shot® Cradle provides the ultimate in connectivity for your digital still camera. Recharge the camera batteries while docked or enjoy high-resolution MPEG video on the 2.5” Hybrid Clear Photo LCD. Connect to your television using the A/V connection to enjoy all your images and video on the large screen. The Cyber-shot® Cradle automatically adjusts the screen angle for the perfect picture. If you want to work on your images before sharing them, edit or print your pictures by connecting the T33 directly to your PC using the Cyber-shot® Cradle USB connection.
