The Sony DSC S730 is the entry level camera in the Sony range. Emphasis is on ease of use and convenience. For example it runs on two AA batteries. This type of battery is available more or less anywhere in the world.
This camera has a fairly typical set of features when compared to other entry level digital cameras. It has 7 megapixels and a 3x optical zoom lens. There is a 2.4 inch LCD screen for composing images and accessing the menu system, but there is no viewfinder.
At 29mm wide the DSC S730 is on the large side for slipping into a pocket, but it is compact enough to slip into a small camera case for transportation. It weighs 140g without batteries and a memory card.
It has a small amount of built in memory to get you started, but you will need to use a memory card to get the most out of the DSC S730. It is compatible with Memory Stick Duo and Memory Stick Duo Pro cards.
