Thread: Sony Mainstream digital camera.

Sony Mainstream digital cameras are the ones that feature a boxy design and are usually packed with features. Most cameras in this category feature 3x or 4x optical zoom, white balance settings, ISO control, and scene presets. Features that you should look out for in these cameras are shooting modes (program, manual, shutter priority, and aperture priority), image stabilization, face detection, color adjustment, and better optical zoom (5x or 6xl. If you are a beginner, you can use the 'Auto' mode and scene presets to get decent shots in every light condition.



However, if you are familiar with exposure settings, you can use the manual mode or shutter/aperture priority mode in combination with ISO control and white balance settings to get better shots.

You can also make shots taken in broad daylight look like they were taken at sunset! Face detection feature is useful while taking portraits or group photos. With face detection enabled, the camera automatically keeps all the faces in the scene (up to 9 faces) well-focused. Finally, when it comes to performance, cameras by Canon and Sony offer top-notch performance and great value for money.
