The Sony DSC S950 is an entry level digital camera with one or two enhancements on the most basic models. To start with there is a 2.7 inch LCD screen. Next is the slightly longer than standard 4x optical zoom lens. With 10 megapixels the DSC S950 gives you plenty of options when it comes to making large prints.
One area where the DSC S950 differs from many entry level digital cameras is that it is powered by a lithium ion battery. This helps to keep the size of the camera down when compared to cameras that use larger AA batteries.
Features that are now becoming standard include face detection processing and red eye correction. All recent digital cameras from the main brands such as Sony offer face detection. This helps to produce sharper portrait shots and ensures faces are lit correctly. Red eye correction is being seen on more and more digital cameras and tries to clean up red eye after a photo has been taken.
