The Cybershot is a point-and-shoot digital camera, not a phone. Though Android does still use the DCIM folder, that whole basic structure, for compatibility with things that are looking for photos on drives, SD cards, etc. I think Sony phones even still use the DSC filename prefix for their photos.
