Revisiting the Sony Cyber-Shot DSC F505 camera 24 years after it came to market reveals there is still a lot to like.
, a consumer-oriented digital camera released 24 years ago.
At its release in 1999, the $1,100 Cyber-shot camera’s 2.1-megapixel image sensor was relatively robust. The sensor is paired with a Carl Zeiss-branded 5x optical zoom lens. Due to the camera’s rotating body design, it was possible to flip the main camera body up so photographers could more easily shoot at waist level. It was a clever alternative to today’s popular tilting rear displays.
Along the lens barrel are buttons for macro mode, white balance, spot metering, and a switch to swap between autofocus and manual focus. Atop the lens sits a pop-up flash. As Laing observes, the bottom of the lens includes a tripod thread, which is cleverly located beneath the optical axis, allowing free movement of the rear camera body section while mounted.
Returning to the image sensor, the F505 uses a 2.1-megapixel half-inch type charge-coupled device image sensor. The resulting 1600 x 1200 resolution seems paltry today but was reasonable in 1999, especially given high storage costs at the time.
