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 the picture quality probably could be better in very high light environments too. The level of light does not, however, appear to affect the large LCD screen, which is fantastic - crisp sharp in all light levels.

Overall I 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.
