It was part of Sony’s early S-series alongside the DSC-S30 and DSC-S70. Because Sony released several Cyber-shot models and regional variations before and during 2000, it is not accurate to assign the S50 a definitive ordinal number such as the “11th Cyber-shot.” (\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.sony.com\/en\/SonyInfo\/CorporateInfo\/History\/sonyhistory-g.html?utm_source=chatgpt.com\" title=\"Product \u0026amp; Technology Milestones−Digital Camera\"\u003eSony\u003c\/a\u003e)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe camera combines a 2.1MP CCD sensor with a Sony all-glass 3x optical zoom lens and an unusual rotating EX Bright LCD.
