Cyber-shot is a line of digital cameras made by Sony. The Cyber-shot range is well known for its proprietary InfoLithium battery pack, the trademark Carl Zeiss lenses and overall design. Also, all Cyber-shot cameras accept Sony's proprietary Memory Stick or Memory Stick PRO Duo flash memory. Some high-end models have also supported CompactFlash. All Cyber-shot models have a DSC prefix in their names, which is an acronym for "Digital Still Camera".

Sony Ericsson mobile phones

In 2006, Sony Ericsson (a mobile communications joint venture between Sony and Ericsson) launched a mobile phone using the Cyber-shot branding for the Sony Ericsson K800, featuring a 3.2 megapixel Cyber-shot digital camera and a xenon flash.

On February 6, 2007, Sony Ericsson announced the K810 Cyber-shot phone. Building on the success of the K800, the K810 adds a number of features that make its 3.2 megapixel autofocus camera even more camera-like. It has a xenon flash and red-eye reduction. Sony Ericsson also expanded its Cyber-shot branding to a mid-range handset, the K550, which supports a 2.0 megapixel camera bundled up with autofocus and LED flash.

On June 14, 2007, Sony Ericsson announced its flagship K850 Cyber-shot phones feature the following:

2/3.2/5 Megapixel Camera Cyber-shot™ Camera Digital Zoom Auto Focus (Xenon Flash) (Image Stabiliser) (Photo Fix) (BestPic™) Photo Blogging Red Eye Reduction Video Call Video Player Video Clip Video Record Video Stabiliser Video Streaming Wallpaper Animation Picture Wallpaper

Bracketed features are only available on the K810i and K850i phones.

In Japan, Sony Ericsson used the Cyber-shot name on the SO905iCS, 'CS' standing for Cyber-shot. The handset featured the 'Exmor' sensor found on the Sony A700 DSLR, as well as a smile shutter, BRAVIA Screen and a 3x optical zoom mechanism.

As a successor to the popular K Series, Sony Ericsson introduced the 'C' Series. The inital handset released under this category was the five MegaPixel C902, with the C905 announced shortly thereafter. The C905 signals Sony Ericsson's entry into the eight MegaPixel fight, and with strong camera credentials, the C905 is expected to offer users a strong imaging experience.

To date, two Cyber-shot handsets have been used in James Bond movies. They are the K800i and next in Quantum of Solace, 007 will use a Special edition Silver C902.
