How to Choose the Best Image Stabilization
Digital camera image stabilization technology, sometimes shortened to IS, helps prevent blurry photos caused by camera shake. Optical image stabilization is preferred over digital image stabilization.

Inside the Digital Camera: CCD Vs. CMOS
The two primary technologies used for digital camera image sensors, CCD (charge coupled device) and CMOS (complementary metal oxide semiconductor), work differently. Learn about the two types through the DALSA Semiconductor link.

Learn About the Image Sensor
You'll never see your digital camera's image sensor, but it is one of the most important components to creating sharp, vibrant photos. This area of the Sony Web site focuses on the technology behind the image sensor.

Decipher PPI, DPI, and Pixels
Understanding the differences between pixels, PPI (pixels per inch), and DPI (dots per inch) is important when scanning, printing, and editing your digital photos.
