Sony Cyber-shotDSC-S85Review posted 6/07/01Introduction & Physical Views Click on the S85 to take a QuickTime VR tour The Sony DSC-S85 CyberShot has the distinction of being the first four megapixel digital camera to be priced below $1000, in fact it has an unbelievable MSRP of just $799.

Detailed review of Sony DSC-S85, with actual sample images, and a detailed data sheet.
The DSC-S85 started its public life (at least here on dpreview) as a rumour back on the in mid-March this year. This rumour originated with an Australia website and was soon given a little more viability by Sony Microelectronics announcement of the ICX406 4.1 megapixel CCD sensor. This CCD is the same 1/1.8" size as the previous 3.34 megapixel used on a large number of today's 3 megapixel consumer digital cameras, thus turning a 3 megapixel into a 4 megapixel seemed like a relatively trivial task.
