Sony DSC-N2: One Little Camera with Big Features
The folks over at Imaging Resource have reviewed the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-N2 and came up with an approving verdict.
What’s to like with this little critter? A lot: 10 megapixels, 3-inch LCD, responsive shutter, good color accuracy, low-light shooting capabilities, very fast multi-burst mode and a few more.

One notable feature of the N2 – which it inherited from its predecessor the N1 – is its large 3-inch LCD touch screen, greatly simplifying the interface and keeping the camera body nice and clean.
The screen, because of its ample size, also functions as a very usable photo display, some kind of a photo wallet where stored photos of just the right resolution are always ready to be displayed.
And of course, it takes good pictures too. With its Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar zoom lens, which offers a 3x optical zoom, and a 1/1.7″ CCD image sensor the N2 took photos that few can complain about.
It also offers a very usable manual exposure mode where you can manually adjust the shutter speed and lens aperture.
A few quibbles: slow continuous shooting speeds, image noise high at ISO 400 and up, high chromatic aberration lens distortion, noticeable in some images at the edges, and some others but overall, the N2 is a good camera for its price ($420 street). (chrismalinao)
