Cyber-shot is a product brand name under which the Japanese manufacturer Sony since 1996's compact - digital cameras markets. This differentiates the compact cameras from the system cameras (brand Alpha , since 2006) and camcorders (brand Handycam ) within the Sony product range .

For a short time (2008–2009) the Cyber-shot brand was also used by Sony Ericsson for combination devices consisting of mobile phones and digital cameras.

Many Cyber-shot models have an integrated lens from Carl Zeiss . Apart from the fact that they are all digital cameras without interchangeable lenses, there is little in common; The brand encompasses a wide range of designs / sizes, functions and other technical features for different user target groups. The range extends from simple miniature cameras (ultra-compact / sub- miniature cameras) to typical compact cameras and bridge cameras for the prosumer sector, some as super zoom cameras and with video functions.
