Great Camera, really good buy!
Review of Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W170 by fredy14

Advantages: Great photos, Price
Disadvantages: Nothing that would really matter

...admit that I love this Sony camera. The picture is flawless, generally with a size within 1MB. The screen is big so that I can easily see the quality of the picture that was taken. Zoom option is also great! The size of this sony camera is perfect to keep it in my purseTher is one problem though and that is that the red color of the camera is not pure blood red but more a very dark pink and red, but I like this difference. So I really recomed this ... Read review

Easy to Carry on anywhere
Review of Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W170 by rrvillarosa

Advantages: Light, portable and convenient
Disadvantages: none so far

My friend has this camera of Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W170 which he usually use when we had our outing on beach and do travel. The picture quality doesnt change every time I am going to crop a certain image just to exclude unnecessary images on it. In handling the camera is relaxing and not bulky to handle and to hold. It has a powerful zooming in and out without compromising the quality of the picture. The most important in zooming in and out is ... Read review

Review of Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W170 by ryanair60

Advantages: Large number of megapixel
Disadvantages: no manual which has to be downloaded

The Sony W170 digital camera has to be one of the best value for money cameras. The quality which would be expected from Sony is still there, and also it shoots great photos. There are various features on the camera, for example the smile shutter, which is great for pin pointing faces when taking photos, and the megapixels on the camera is high too, 10.1 to be exact. I've had the camera a few weeks now, and I'm very impressed, the camera tends to ... Read review

Quick review of Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W170
Review of Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W170 by joannak89

I really like this camera. The picture quality is amazing and very clear. It has a very good zoom. If you're looking for a good camera that doesn't have any cool or differnet effects but takes really good normal pictures this one is good for you.

Review of Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W170 by cheowlaywee

the compactness makes it very attractive. A little uneasy that it's easy to lose because it's rather small. Not sure I'd give it to children! But for adults - perfect! Quality of photos is good.

My opinion about Sony DSC W170
Review of Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W170 by nibilung

Advantages: Elegant and ultracompact, wide angle, fast autofocus, powerful battery
Disadvantages: Grainy images in bad light conditions, mistakes of ISO and white balance in Auto Mode

The only difference from Sony DSС W150 is the resolution. Very often people ask me what camera to buy, and I always recommend Sony or Canon. But not in this case. It seams that all Sony W-series not very successful (just read my review of Sony DSC W150). When I got this camera, first I tested it outdoor in normal daylight and images were rather good, but then I started shoot indoor... it was terrible: images were very noisy with incorrect white ...
