Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W1

I searched around a lot when looking to purchase a new digital camera, and after much deliberating decided to go for a sony. At the time of purchase this model was the only one that fitted my size, weight, resolution and zoom requirements. The first thing that you will notice when looking at this camera is it's very generous 2.5" LCD display, which is further enhanced by the camera's overall diminuitive size. When switching the camera on, you should ...
...Kodak cameras, an Olympus, a Canon and another sony, but none of them come close to the start up time on this. You press the power button and you are ready to begin shooting straight away. By default the camera turns on the LCD screen to use as a viewfinder, however you should note that if you wish to save battery or work in low light conditions, this camera also has an optical viewfinder (a feature lacking on many lower-end models). The camera ...

...and when it's in the Sony proprietary hardshell case, it fits comfortably into a large jacket pocket. My only gripe, as with all digital cameras, is the irritating delay between hitting the button and the shutter actually clicking. This is something which has always bugged me about digital cameras, and when you're trying to take photographs of moving subjects it's quite difficult to predict exactly when to hit the button. ...

Review of Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W1

...small and is sold with Sony stamina rechargeable batteries and charger, the rechargeable batteries are very impressive and last a very long time. It comes with all leads and software to connect to the pc. The software could be a little better, the viewing software is very limited as is the editing software, but its a minor problem from a very good camera. With its impressive 2.5" lcd screen this camera in my opinion is a must for any person wishing ...

...got ripped of or something, but the batteries only lasted around 20 minutes and stopped working. Very large screens, zoomable. It feels much better using taking pictures through this large LCD screen, it has a high refresh rate and shows a lot of detail. I’ve found a useful trip of taking pictures of maps during trips and then zooming in, this way I will never get lost! Easy to use and with professional features: It has a standard automatic setting ...

Review of Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W1

I upgraded to this camera from a cheap and cheerful 1.3mp that I've had for a long time. What convinced me to choose his one. -Sony - a name to trust - 5mp - For what I want to use it for, this is ample. Any more, and it would eat up memory space - Screen - One of the largest screens Many of the other features are similar to other cameras The only (small) letdown for this camera, is that its a little bulky compared to others - the ixus for example. ...
...video feature was surpisingly good quality. I cut it into DV in a holiday video and there was very little difference. There are lots of light situations to choose form. A look at the 'specs' on the website will give photo enthusiasts more of an idea. As a 'family and holiday' photographer i think its great. With a quick flick of the instruction book you're up and running. If you've owned a digital camera before, you probably won't need to look ...

Review of Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W1

A great digital camera which takes amateur into picture quality of proffessionals. This camera is packed with features but very easy to use. Perhaps the single most important feature which sets this camera apart when a buyer is considering the vast array of products, is it's large LCD screen. This allows the user to see the taken picture in it's full glory rather than squinting to work out if the picture is good or bad on a small screen. Having checked ...
...major factor that can often be overlooked. Other features are many as you would expect from a quality camera - great zoom, lens, multi burst shots, audio movie option etc. Before buying this camera my husband and I were considering getting portrait photos from a studio. However the quality of the pictures we have taken have taken away this need and cost. A must have item! ...

I was given this camera at Christmas and within minutes of putting the batteries in I had managed to set up the date, time etc and taken some pictures that weren't blurred ( sounds easy but my previous camera had given me so much trouble that endless picture opportunities were lost becasue of it!) The time from taking a picture to being able to email it to friends and family is minutes - it is fantastic. A bonus is that it came with recharchable ...

The picture quality is superb and it's size handy. The large 2.5 inch LCD screen is the envy of all my friends with tiny screens. I usually the screen as a album to show friends photo I have taken. A friend also uses her to take close up pictures of plants and insects and ...
