Sony cybershot leaves the others in cyberspace

Advantages: Sleek attractive design, excellent quality, very user friendly
Disadvantages: Internal memory

...put yes. This is Sony afterall and I can vouch for the video as well its first class for a camera in this price bracket. ==How easy is it to transfer pictures?== Whilst my laptop does have a slot to insert memory cards or Memory Stick duo I realised that not everyone would so I installed the software to see how user friendly it was. It took roughly 10 minutes all in thats including a restart. The software is compatible with Windows XP & Vista although ...
...retails for £49 on the Sony website but I dare say you could find it cheaper and if you never want to be caught out then I think its a great idea. On top of this you can get all manner of cases etc online official and otherwise. ==So whats wrong with it== In a word or in this case 2, NOT MUCH. The internal memory sucks like a brand new Dyson at just 15 meg but hey you cant have it all. ==User titbits== When you switch the power on the lens pops ...

Disadvantages: Internal Memory

The great Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W130, superb digital camera with 8 megapixel camera brilliant picture quality, it retails around £190, which is good for what you get, lets start with the design; Rounded corners and an attractive brushed metal front plate .It uses small circular buttons for menu control, the buttons are laid out comfortably around the camera's direction pad and feel much more accessible to large-thumbed users. The shape is perfect for ...
...out from the rest. From its predecessor they have improved the length of the length, which helps for zoom length over long distances. Features The W130 has 8-megapixel resolution, 64mm (2.5-inch) LCD, and optical viewfinder. It also includes face detection function with Smile Shutter, a handy mode that lets the camera automatically take pictures of subjects when they smile. It lacks a little on the internal memory only carrying 15MB of space. This ...

Great run around camera

Advantages: Great small size and good shots
Disadvantages: None

Love this product and cannot go on about it enough - have used it almost everyday. The build quality is superb and it really feels that it has been put together well. Battery life is great and you will get the whole day out of it easily, I always buy a spare just in case. Memory size is ok, so you will need to buy another memory card to go with it but that is just normal with these cameras. It also features a very simple autofocus function so you ...
...with a load of blurred photos at the end of the week when you come to review them! Would recommend getting the extras with it though - try and get a tripod and a carry case that you can put on your belt or round your neck - if you just put it in your handbag or whatever, you might not be able to get it out in time ti take those very quick shots as something unfolds. ...

Generally a good value for money camera

Advantages: Good value for money, small, compact, easy to use, clear photos, nice screen
Disadvantages: Full zoom can produce blurry photos

Overall I have found this to be a good value-for-money compact digital camera. Basically, you get what you pay for, its small, attractive and compact. It generally takes clear photos under a range of different settings. The menu and buttons are easy to use and the screen is a good size, although is prone to greasy finger prints. Under twilight/night conditions the camera has performed well which was important to me, although some 'shaky' photos ...
...has been good. I have not had any problems with battery life. Perhaps the main thing which I have been disappointed with is the optical zoom. It is only x 4.0 but I think I was perhaps anticipating something slightly better than what I have got. When fully zoomed in, most have the photos which I have taken have come out rather blurry. Overall however, I am very pleased with the camera. I think it was money well spent. ...

Sony Cyber shot 8mp

Advantages: small,good product-small price
Disadvantages: not good enough to take some nice portret pictures,not much supplyed memory,Softening around edges

in my opinion Its the best camera for the small price!!Fast shutter; slightly longer-than-normal lens; handy in-camera editing and slide show functions I love pictures taken at night, smile dettection and color effects!!Camera is also very small and light,stylish modern look and its very easy to use,sharp definition, great big lcd screen, few colors to choose -red ,blue, silver and black,strong aluminium case,The W130 performed quickly in our tests, ...
...time to recycle. After a 1.8-second wait from power-on to first shot, the camera could capture a new picture once every 1.4 seconds with the onboard flash turned off. With the flash enabled, however, that wait doubled to 2.8 seconds. The shutter feels pleasantly responsive, lagging only 0.4 seconds with our high-contrast target and 1 second with our low-contrast target. In continuous shooting mode, the W130 captured 15 full-resolution shots in 7.5 ...

Oh yeah sony cybershot

Advantages: face detection is wicked
Disadvantages: zoom isn't amazing

my brother bought me this camera for my 21st birthday and straight out of the box it was brilliant. Easy to use, the auto mode makes all the difficult decisions for you and adapts very well to almost all rooms/light intensities. At a night club with friends I found out that on certain settings the camera will make amazing patterns from the night club lights Another great feature is the face recognition tool which detects smiley faces and focuses ...
...capture a lot of landscape by having the person's face in a corner of the shot. The camera will still focus on the corner where the face is instead of automatically focussing in the centre like standard cameras. The battery lasts for ages and its durable. A brilliant camera and excellent value for my bro's money! ...

Advantages: smart camera with reasonable price

...useful for group shots as Sony takes it a little further such as coupling Face Detection with smile detection. the 2.5'' LCD monitor made the camera very useful and easy to use as any one including a kid will be able to take a snap. the options of chossing between memory Stick DUO / DUO PRO memory slot makes it more useful as almost eveywhere people can print their pictures. people also can print their pictures indoors very easily with the USB cable. ...

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W130

Advantages: Very light
Disadvantages: It's not a reflex!

THis camera is so little you may stuff it into your pocket: the camera has 8 MPx and optics are from the German firm Carl Zeiss. The objective is a 32-128 mm enough for a semi-professional use, also if other qualities of the camera are just low level standards. It is interesting becouse in multimedial: it has a incorporated micro and loudspeakers. IT may contains a 15 mb memory, that could be expanded by internal removable memory sticks. With ...
...600 pics, and it is not so bad: a complete trip to your prefered place, could be stored into just one memory card, so, if you are not yet a professional, but you are on the right road to become one, this is the camera for you. Reliable and cheap, anyway. ...

A good & easy to use product with a variety of features!

Advantages: Sleek design with easy controls to allow good shots wherever you are!
Disadvantages: Not the best Sony on the market, so dont expect the perfect shot everytime.

The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W130 with 4x optical zoome and 8.1 megapixels is a fantastic camera. Whether you want to take a quick snap, a long video or that nice family photo, this camera adapts to all types of locations. It is a very sturdy and durable camera that is light and can fit in a pocket easily. The functions and layout of the camera are extremely easy to use and it is a very aesthetically pleasing camera!

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W130 - a better model

Advantages: Small, compact, Good selection preset shooting modes, Large 2.5-inch LCD, Excellent battery life
Disadvantages: Not so good pictures in very high and very low light, some blurring on zoom.

In my opinion the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W130 is a small but beautiful piece of equipment and feels like its very well built. There are many features to keep the techies happy but at the same time its very simple to use and comes with, for e.g. a very good selection of useful preset shooting modes. The overall picture quality is fantastic, although I think there is room for improvement when it comes to taking pictures in low light environments and also ...
...think it’s a great piece of equipment and I should mention that the battery life is greatly improved from previous incarnations - one of my biggest gripes with a Sony camera I bought which I still own was its poor battery life and Sony appear to have addressed that concern. ...
