DSC-S3000 specifications

The Sony DSC-S3000 is a compact digital camera that embodies simplicity and versatility, making it an excellent choice for both photography enthusiasts and casual users. Released as part of Sony's Cyber-shot series, the S3000 offers a range of features that allow users to capture high-quality images effortlessly.

One of the standout features of the DSC-S3000 is its 14.1-megapixel sensor, which provides high-resolution images with impressive detail and depth. This level of resolution ensures that photos can be enlarged without significant loss of quality, making it ideal for printing and sharing online. The camera is equipped with a 4x optical zoom lens, allowing users to get closer to their subjects without losing image clarity. This range offers flexibility, whether capturing distant landscapes or close-up portraits.

The S3000 boasts a 2.7-inch LCD screen that makes it easy to frame shots and review images.
