Sony Cyber-shot DSC-S650

Sony built the Cyber-shot DSC-S650 as an easy entry point into digital compacts, and it arrived in 2007 with a 7.2-megapixel sensor, a 3x zoom and a simple point-and-shoot layout. It runs on ordinary AA cells rather than a proprietary pack, which made it a practical grab-and-go camera for holidays and family outings. This copy is a tidy example of the line, with the 2-inch screen and scene modes intact. It is a good choice for anyone who wants a pocketable digicam with no fuss.

Condition

• Cosmetic: Excellent overall. Shows visible signs of age and use.
• Functional: Fully working. The memory card works. Runs on two AA batteries, which are not included; rechargeable AA cells are not included either. Use Ikea LADDA high power rechargeable batteries for best results

Included

• SD card
• Pouch

The slot takes Memory Stick Duo cards rather than SD, so the SD card in the box will not fit the camera's slot directly; a Memory Stick Duo card is needed for storage. Batteries are not supplied. The DSC-S650 is a 7-megapixel budget compact from the mid-2000s, so judge it on that scale. At ₹7,000, it is a sensible buy for a collector or a beginner who wants a simple digital camera.
