Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W150 > Reviews (6)

This review is going to be a no nonsense, no fancy camera tech language review, as from experience, i know that if your looking to buy this camera, then your looking for a good quality point and shoot camera to take holiday snaps and family shots, nothing fancy.

I own this camera and for the year that i have owned it, i have been moderately impressed. Like i said nothing fancy. However what i find most impressive is the amount of options available within this camera. If your a complete new entry to the world of photogrphy then you can simply use the easy slide wheel on the camera to set it to easy mode. This mode literally allows you to point and shoot and the internal workings of the camera will do its best to take a decent picture, good times.

If however, youre like me and you like a little more control over your holiday snaps then this too is simple. Put the camera into 'p' mode and you will be able to access more complex options through the menu.

Overall, this camera is well suited for use as a generel family camera. The kids can take as many pictures of the floor and walls, and half of your face in easy mode, while the serious photographers of the family have a bunch of options through which they can manipulate images. The camera has tonnes of features including steady shot, smile detection and movie mode, all adding to the general appeal of the camera. For a camera in this price range it stands up to the competition well. A good purchase.

This camera can be found on Amazon for around £130 and for me, thats a fair price to pay. Amazon is not the be all an end all so dont be afraid to shop around as some instore prices and offers may be cheaper. High street stores such as Currys, Dixons and even local photo shops will most likely stock this popular camera.

If you do buy this camera, let us know how you get on with it and i can add any issues to this review, all the best.
